Umare Lagi Kehte Hue Lyrics
Dhage tod laao chandni se noor ke
Ghoonghat hi bana lo roshni se noor ke
Oh, dhaage tod laao chaandni se noor ke
Ghoonghat hi bana lo roshni se noor ke
Sharm aa gayi toh aagosh mein lo
Ho, saanson se uljhi rahein meri saansein
Bol na halke-halke, bol na halke-halke
Honth se halke-halke, bol na halke
Bol na halke-halke, bol na halke-halke
Honth se halke-halke, bol na halke
Aa, neend ka sauda karein
Ik khwaab dein, ik khwaab lein
Ik khwab toh aankhon mein hai
Ik chaand ke takiye tale
Kitne dinon se yeh aasmaan bhi
Soya nahin hai, isko sula dein
Bol na halke-halke, bol na halke-halke
Honth se halke-halke, bol na halke
Bol na halke-halke, bol na halke-halke
Honth se halke-halke, bol na halke
Ma pa ni dha ga ma re sa ga ma re
Pa ni sa dha ga ma dha pa
Umrein lagi kehte huye
Do lafz the, ek baat thi
Woh ek din sau saal ka
Sau saal ki woh raat thi
Kaisa lage jo chup-chaap donon
Oh, pal-pal mein poori sadiyaan bita dein, bol…
Bol na halke-halke, bol na halke-halke
Honth se halke-halke…
Oh, dhaage tod laao chaandni se noor ke
Oh, ghoonghat hi bana lo roshni se noor ke
Sharm aa gayi toh (aagosh mein lo)
Oh, saanson se uljhi rahein meri saansein
Bol na halke-halke, bol na halke-halke
Honth se halke-halke, bol na halke
Bol na (halke-halke), bol na (halke-halke)
Honth se halke-halke, bol na halke.
