chali kaun se desh gujariya

"aane waali duniya mein sabke sar pe taaj hoga,

na bhookhon ki bheed hogi na dukhon ka raaj hoga, 

badalega zamaana ye sitaaron pe likha hai"

chali kaunse desh gujariya tu sajh-dhaj ke

chali kaunse desh gujariya tu sajh-dhaj ke

jaaun piya ke desh o rasiya main sajh-dhaj ke

jaaun piya ke desh o rasiya main sajh-dhaj ke

chali kaunse desh gujariya tu sajh-dhaj ke

chhalken maat-pitaa ki ankhiyaan

rowe tere bachpan ki sakhiyaan

bhaiya kare pukaar ho

bhaiya kare pukaar

naa jaa ghar-aangan taj ke

jaaun piya ke desh o rasiya main sajh-dhaj ke

chali kaunse desh gujariya tu sajh-dhaj ke

door desh mere pee ki nagariya

main unki woh mere sanwariya

baandhi lagan ki dor ho

baandhi lagan ki dor maine sab soch-samajhke

jaaun piya ke desh o rasiya main sajh-dhaj ke

chali kaunse desh gujariya tu sajh-dhaj ke

seene mein sulagte hain armaan

aankhon mein udaasi chhaayi hai

ye aaj teri duniya se hamein

taqdeer kaha le aayi hai

seene mein sulagte hain armaan 

kuchh aankhon mein aansoo baaki hain

jo mere gham ke saathi hain -(2)

ab dil hain na dil ke armaan hain -(2)

bas main hu meri tanhaai hai

seene mein sulagte hain armaan 

na tujhse gila koyi hamko

na koi shikaayat duniya se

do chaar kadam jab manzil thi -(2)

kismat ne thhokar khaayi hai

seene mein sulagte hain armaan 

kuchh aisi aag lagi man mein

jeene bhi na de marne bhi na de 

chupp hu to kaleja jalta hai -(2)

bolu to teri ruswaayi hai 

seene mein sulagte hain armaan 

itna na mujhse pyar bada

Another gem from the beautiful duo of Lata Mangeshkar and Talat Mahmood.

The playful voice adds to the beauty of the song which seems inspired by Mozart's Symphony #40.

itna na mujhse tu pyar badhaa,ki main ek baadal aawara

kaise kisi ka sahara banu,ki main khud beghar bechara

isliye tujhse pyar karu, ke tu ek baadal aawara

janam janam se hun saath tere ,ki naam meraa jal ki dhaaraa

itna na mujhse tu pyar badhaa ,ki main ek baadal aawara

janam janam se hun saath tere ,ki naam meraa jal ki dhaaraa

mujhe ek jagah aaraam nahi,ruk jaanaa mera kaam nahi -(2)

mera saath kaha tak dogi tum ,main desh videsh kaa banjaaraa

itna na mujhse tu pyar badhaa,ki main ek baadal aawara

kaise kisi ka sahara banu,ki main khud beghar bechara

isliye tujhse pyar karu,ke tu ek baadal aawara

janam janam se hun saath tere ,ki naam meraa jal ki dhaaraa

o nil gagan ke deewaane,tu pyar na mera pehachaane -(2)

main tab tak saath chalun tere,jab tak na kahe tu mai haaraa

isliye tujhse pyar karu,ke tu ek baadal aawara

janam janam se hun saath tere ,hain naam meraa jal ki dhaaraa

itna na mujhse tu pyar badhaa,ki main ek baadal aawara

kaise kisi ka sahara banu,ki main khud beghar bechara

kyun pyar mein tu naadan bani, ek paagal ka armaan bane -(2)

ab laut jaana muskil hain ,maine chhod diya hai jag saara

itna na mujhse tu pyar badhaa,ki main ek baadal aawara

janam janam se hun saath tere ,ki naam meraa jal ki dhaaraa

jayen to jayen kahan
