Lyricist: Hasrat Jaipuri
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Md. Rafi


Dekho Ruthhaa Naa Karo, Baat Nazron Kee Suno
Hum Naa Bolenge Kabhee, Tum Sataayaa Naa Karo

Cheharaa To Laal Huaa, Kyaa Kyaa Haal Huaa
Is Adaa Par Teree Main To Paamaal Huaa
Tum Bigadne Jo Lago, Aaur Bhee Haseen Lago

Jaan par Meree Banee, Aap Kee Thhaharee Hasee
Haay Main Jaan Gayee, Pyaar Kee Fitanaagaree
Dil Jalaane Ke Liye Thhandee Aahe Naa Bharo

Teree Khushboo Ne Mere Hosh Bhee Chheen Liye
Hai Khushee Aaj Hume, Tere Pahaloo Mein Ghire
Dil Kee Dhadakan Pe Zaraa Phool Saa Haath Rakho

Kyaa Kahegaa Ye Samaa, In Raahon Kaa Dhuwaan
Laaj Aaye Mujhe, Mujh Ko Laaye Ho Kahaa
Hum Tumhe Maan Gaye, Tum Bade Wo Ho Hato..
