Na Tau Butkade Ki Talab Mujhe

I've been meaning to post a playlist of my favorite (traditional) Sufi Qawwalis but I fear that project is even more difficult than my extensive Filmi Qawwali playlist.  Na Tau Butkade Ki Talab Mujhe is one of many favorites by Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the music is credited to his father, Ustad Fateh Ali Khan.  I was finally able to hear the original on youtube though the audio quality is poor: part 1, part 2, part 3.

I hear a mention of Zahid in the verses so I'm assuming that part of the lyrics are by a poet of that name. I've heard that name in other Kalams as well but am unfamiliar with the person. I think I may have heard that name in a few Pankaj Udhas Ghazals but it's been a while so I'm not sure. Perhaps he is a contemporary poet like S M Sadiq... If anyone knows, please share.

The Wadali Brothers' Ve Sone Deya Kangana Sauda Ikko Jeha, a qawwali rich with bits of many different Sufi Kalams includes the Punjabi verses from this qawwali so I'm wondering who the original writer of that bit is. I'm guessing it may be Baba Bulleh Shah...

Filmi Qawwalis Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq and Na Tau Caravan Ki Talash Hai from the soundtrack to Barsat Ki Rat were inspired by this qawwali, I remember reading that they were adapted with Ustad Fateh Ali Khan's permission. I've also read that Nigaah-e-Naaz Ke Maaron Ka Haal Kya Hoga from the same film was also inspired by Ustad Fateh Ali Khan (by his qawwali, Saher Qareeb Hai Taaron Ka Haal Kya Hoga).

Last but not least, I finally figured out why I love Na Kisi Ka Dil Mujhe Chahiye from Naqab so much. I  believe it may have been heavily inspired by this qawwali as well. 


The word but (rhymes with put) means idol, it can also be taken to mean one's beloved as people are prone to idolize the ones they love. Butkada therefore can be an idol's home (temple) but it can also mean the beloved's home. 

Raaz-daaron Se Bach Ke Chalta Hoon
I avoid my friends (keepers of mutual secrets)

Gham-ghusaaron Se Bach Ke Chalta Hoon
I avoid those who would comfort me 

Mujh Ko Dhoka Diya Sahaaron Ne,
I have been deceived by companions (those who would support me)

Ab Sahaaron Se Bach Ke Chalta Hoon
I now avoid companions

Shab-e-Gham Ki Saher Nahin Hoti
There is no dawn for an evening of sorrow

Ho Bhi, Tau Mere Ghar Nahin Hoti
Even if there is, it does not appear in my home

Zindagi Tu Hi Mukhtasar Ho Ja
Life, you should come to an end

Shab-e-Gham Mukhtasar Nahin Hoti
(since) this evening of sorrow does not have an end

Main Ne Masoom Bahaaron Mein Tumhein Dekha Hai
I have seen you in the innocent (blooms of) spring

Main Ne Poornoor Sitaaron Mein Tumhein Dekha Hai
I have seen you in the beautiful stars

Mere Mehboob Teri Pardanasheenin Ki Kasam,
My love, I swear by your veil

Main Ne Ashqon Ki Qataaron Mein Tumhein Dekha Hai
I have seen you in teardrops

But Bhi Eis Mein Rehte Thay
Idols used to live in it

Dil Yaar Ka Bhi Kashana Tha
My beloved's heart was also an abode

Ek Taraf Kaabe Ke Jalwe
In one direction were the wonders of Kaaba

Ek Taraf Butkhana Tha
In the other direction was my beloved's home

Na Tau Butkade Ki Talab Mujhe
I do not seek my beloved's home

Na Haram Ke Dar Ki Talash Hai
Nor do I search for the door of Kaaba

Jahan Loot Gaya Hai Sukhoon-e-Dil

Ussi Rahaguzar Ki Talash Hai
I search for that path where the peace of my heart was stolen

Tu Haram Mein Jis Ko Hai Dhoondtha

Mujhe Woh Butkada Mein Woh Mil Gaya
I found that which you seek in the Mosque in my beloved's home

Tujhe Kya Malaal Hai Zahida?
Why are you vexed Zahid?

Yeh Nazar Nazar Ki Talash Hai
This search is different eye to eye

Mujhe Sab Qubool Falak Magar
I accept my fate however

Gham-e-Dost Mujh Se Talab Na Kar
Do not seek out my friend in sorrow (beloved) in me

Isse Kaise Dil Se Judah Karoon?
How will I separate him/her from my heart?

Mere Umar Bhar Ki Talash Hai
It was my lifelong search.

Aye Qhabib Chod Yun Hi Mujhe
O friend leave me like this

Main Mareez-e-Ishq Hoon La-Dawa
I am  incurably afflicted with love

Main Mareez-e-Ishq, Ishq Ishq...

Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq, Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq
this is love/passion

Ishq Ki Chhot Ka Kuch Dil Pe Asar Ho Tau Sahi
The wound of love should have some effect on the heart

Dard Kam Ho Ya Ziada Ho Magar Ho Tau Sahi
Whether pain is lessened or increased, it (pain) should exist

Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq, Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq

Majnu Nazar Aati Hai, Laila Nazar Aata Hai
I see Majnu (feminine), I see Laila (masculine)

Vaishat Mein Har Ek Naqsha Ulta Nazar Aata Hai Dekho
In my madness I see every map upside down/reversed

Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq, Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq

Wadi-e-Najad Se Pher Kar Jo Hawa Aati Hai

Qais Ke Rone Ki Ab Tak Yeh Sadaa Aati Hai Dekho
Even now the beckoning cry of Qais (Majnu) is borne on the wind that blows through the valley of  Najad

Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq, Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq

Kaabe Bhi Gaye Hum, Na Gaya Par Buton Ka Ishq
I have visited Kaaba however I did not lose my love for my beloved

Eis Rog Ki Khuda Ka Bhi Ghar Mein Dawa Nahin
There is no cure for this illness even in the house of God.

Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq, Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq

Kafir-e-Ishq Huye, Hamd-o-Sana Bhool Gaye

I've become an infidel (because) of love, I've forgotten the praise of God

Naam-e-But Yaad Raha Naam-e-Khudah Bhool Gaye Dekho
 I remember my beloved's name,  I've forgotten God's name

Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq, Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq

Naaz-o-Andaz Se Kehte Hai Ke Jeena Hoga
With pride and style, she says that I must live

Zehar Dete Hai Tau Kehte Hai Ke Peena Hoga

She gives me poison and says I must drink it

Jab Main Peeta Hoon Tau Kehte Hai Ke Marta Bhi Nahin
When I drink, she complains that I don't die

Jab Main Marta Hoon Tau Kehte Hai Ke Jeena Hoga Dekho
When I die, she says I must live

Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq, Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq

Ishq De Mahak Mein Gaya Main Ek Din
I visited Love one day.

Aageyo Ishq Ne Meri Badhiyai Thaglai
Love robbed me of my greatness

Main Gaya Si Ishq Tho Daadh Laine
I had gone to appeal to Love

Aageyo Ishq Ne Meri Dhanai Thaglai
But Love robbed me of wisdom

Eis Ishq Ne Bade Bade Thaglai, Karu Baadshah Di Baadshahi Thaglai
Love has robbed many a great person, robbed kings of their kingdoms

Thain Ki Thageya Aashiq Zaara? Eis Ishq Ne Khuda Di Khudai Thaglai
What have you robbed, lover? Love has robbed God's divinity

Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq, Yeh Hai Ishq Ishq

Aye Qhabib Chod Yun Hi Mujhe

Main Mareez-e-Ishq Hoon La-Dawa

Mujhe Jis Ne Dard-e-Adaa Kiya Us Chaarahgar Ki Talash Hai
 I search for the healer that presented me with this pain

Na Tau Butkade Ki Talab Mujhe

Na Haram Ke Dar Ki Talash Hai

Deepest India samples

So initially my plan was to post a long awaited reply to a post at the Future Producers forum
However, the forum won't let me post a reply for some reason. So I'm using my blog to get the info out in hopes that the person who was searching for the answer will find it via Google, etc".

There is a UK company called Zero-G that sells samples. One CD set in particular called Deepest India contained so many answers to questions I and others had. This cd contained recordings made in 1996-1997 in India.CD 1: Vocals most were very short excerpts of longer songs. And most of the titles of the samples do not make too much sense to folks who know the language, so I also wrote out the lyrics and translated.

Jay aka Junglejoint had asked :

Anyone have a clue which sample Missy uses in Get ur freak on? Some sites mention Panjabi MC's 'Mahi' as the original but I believe the're way off with that one.
Since I heard Sean Paul using a sample from the same song on his album track 'Shout (street Respect)'  I am going nuts not being able to find the original...!
Jay

So I'm going to list the samples below, all taken from Deepest India!

Xena: Warrior Princess' episode 'The Way' - opening scene of episode (watch here)
For many many years, I yearned to find the singer and the full song used in the opening of an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess: "Maut Mujh Ko Gawara Hai Lekin, Kya Karun? Dam Nikalta Nahin Hai, Dal Do Apne Aanchal ...".  That's it, those precious lyrics, that's all I had. How I wished to know what words came next and who was the singer? A few years after that I kept hearing "Maut Mujh Ko" and instantly recognized it in Missy Elliott's Get Ur Freak On  produced by Timbaland  (watch here)

Both of these used the following sample:
Deepest India disc 1 track 8 - Larka (Urdu Sher) - vocals: Master Dilbahar

Maut Mujh Ko Gawara Hai, Lekin, Kya Karun? Dam Nikalta Nahin Hai
Death is acceptable (even pleasing) to me, but what can I do? I do not die.

Dal Do Apne Aanchal Ka Tukra, Meri Maiyat Pe Chaddhar Nahin,
cover me with a bit of your veil, my corpse is not covered with a sheet

Khudah Khush Rakhe Dil Mein Dard Ban Kar Aane Waale Ko
may the Almighty keep the one who has become a pain in my heart happy

Zamaane Bhar Ki Raahat De Mujhe Tarfaane Waale Ko
may he give the one who has tortured me a world of peace

Kabhi Kabhie Mujh Ko Un Par Kuch Aitbaar Bhi Tha
from time to time I even had a little faith in him/her

Mujhe Qaraar Bhi Tha Aur Main Be-Qaraar Bhi Tha
I was at rest  and (yet) I was restless

Ae Hazarein -e-Janaza Zara Gawaah Rehna 
those who have gathered at my funeral,  bear witness
Ke Main Lehad Mein Bhi Tha, Aur Un Ka Intezaar Bhi Tha
that I was buried and I was waiting for him/her

Sean Paul's Shout (Street Respect) (listen here)
Deepest India disc 1 track 27 - Larka (Urdu Sher) - vocals: Master Dilbahar

Ishq Ko Log Maar Dete Hai, Aqal Ko Rog Maar Dete Hai

People defeat (kill) Love,  Affliction defeats (kills) sense (the mind) 

Aadmi Khud Pa Khud Nahin Marta, Doosre Log Maar Dete Hai

Man does not die on his own, others people kill him.

Chand Kaliyon Ke Muskurane Se, Zakhm Jaage Kei Puraane Se

the smiling/blooming of a few flowers have awoken several old wounds

Do Kadam Main Tau Chal Nahin Sagta, Tu Hi Mil Ja Kisi Bahane Se

I can not even walk two steps, you will have to come and meet me under some pretense

Shamur's Let The Music Play (listen here)
Na Kar Maan Rupaiye Waala Ban Ban Ke Na Raje / Nadiyo Paar Sajan Da Thana Keete Kaul Zaroori Jaana / Khare Siyane Raah Disende / Dil La Leya Beparwaah De  - I very much wanted to know who sang those lyrics. This song uses 2 different samples from the CD.
Deepest India disc 1 track 24 - Beparwa (Punjabi Traditional) - vocals: Sohan Lal

Dil La Leya Beparwaah De Naal

I've fallen in love with one who is indifferent

Dil La Leya  Beparwaah  De Naal

Us Deen Duni De Shah De Naal

with the lord of all things

Dil La Leya  Beparwaah   De Naal

O Nadiyo Paar Sajan Da Thana

my beloved's home is on the other side of the stream

Nadiyo Paar Sajan Da Thana

Keete Kaul Zaroori Jaana

I've given my word so I must go

Main Mainta Karan Mallah De Naal

I will plead with the boatman

O Mullah Qazi Mati Dende

Judges and Clerics give advice

Khare Siyane Raah Disende

the righteous (old) wise ones show the way

Deepest India disc 1 track 3 - Sufani (Qawwali) - vocals: Bibi Swaran Nooran  Master Dilbahar  Sohan Lal

Diva Bal Ke Mita Le Hanera Ni

Light a candle and extinguish the darkness

Diva Bal Ke Mita Le Hanera Ni

Kulli Vichon Ni Yaar Lab Le

find your beloved in his dwelling

Kulli  Vichon Ni Yaar Lab Le

O Na Kar Maan Rupaiye Waala Ban Ban Ke Na Bage

don't be proud of your wealth, you'll never tire of accumulating it

Vei Na Kar Maan Rupaiye Waala Ban Ban Ke Na Bage

Khara Khota Tu Parakheya Jaave Pave Sharif De Aage

you keep inspecting to see what is real and what is fake

Vei Khara Khota Tu Parakheya Jaave Pave Saraf De Aage

O Bolo Poora Tolo Poora Sat Sirre Tere Lage

practice what you preach, weigh the truth, beware that it does not come back to haunt you

O Bolo Poora Tolo Poora Sat Sirre Tere Lage

Bulleh Shah Tu Kaudi Ho Ja Vatta Mul Na Lage

Bulleh Shah become worthless so that you cannot be appraised

Kulli  Vichon Ni Yaar Lab Le

Kulli  Vichon Ni Yaar Lab Le

M.I.A.'s Come Around produced by Timbaland and T.S. Soundz's  Qwaali from the album Typhoon Asha and Anastacia's Sick and Tired Remix also use the Sufani (Qawwali) sample

Firefly, episode: Heart of Gold -  Greg Edmonson's Heart of Gold Montage ((watch here)
Deepest India disc 1 track 11 - Maanlo (Semi-Classical) - vocals: Seema
I was a huge fan of Firefly, a short lived Sci Fi series later made into a motion picture, Serenity.  One episode called Heart of Gold was never aired on Fox, but was released on DVD. At the beginning of the episode "Heart of Gold" I heard the Punjabi folk marriage song "Madhanaiyan" playing, only it was not Surinder Kaur or Mussarat Nazir's version. After a year or so an OST was released for the series with the track Heart of Gold montage but that provided no clue (credits) so I wanted to know what Greg Edmonson (the composer for the series) had used, It turns out it's also from Deepest India. This sample is a mashup of 2 songs actually a semi-classical song Man Le Piyarva mashed up with Madhanaiyan

Man Le Piyarva, Man Le Piyarva, Jaoun Toh Pe Vaari Vaari Vaari Vaari

Ab Mori Baat, Ab Mori Baat, Ab Mori Baat, Ab Mori Baat, Ab...

heed my word, my love, and I'll  be your slave

Madhaniyan, Madhaniyan, Haye Ve Mere Dadeya Rabba

milkchurn, milkchun, O My Great God

Kinna Jammiyan Kinna Ne Le Jaaniyan Haye

who gave birth and who is taking possession

Who knew one CD set would have all the answers? I guess it is/was a producer's/composer's best friend! I would not be surprised if Karunesh was inspired by the Deepest India samples as well. Although samples were not used directly, songs on Deepest India like Madhaniyan and Aao Huzoor Tum Ko were used. T.S. Soundz also used Track 28 Joom (Hindi Popular) for their track Journey To The Stars among others..

Most of these samples trace back to one musical family Bibi Swaran Noora, her late husband Sohan Lal, and her son Master Dilbahar. So now to those who want to dig deeper, I highly recommend Beat of India's Punjabi series of CDs available on eMusic and probably iTunes too, CD 2 of the Beat of India, Punjabi set features Master Dilbahar . There is also 3 CD set called Gudti Punjab Di that I have yet to obtain. Now I must find out who this Seema is!

Teri Galiyon Mein Na Rakhenge Kadam Aaj Ke Baad

This number has always been a favorite from my "barbaad-e-mohabbat" playlists...  The musical interludes always remind me of Barbaad-e-Mohabbat Ki Dua from Laila Majnu. 

Film: Hawas

Singer: Rafi

Lyrics: Saawan Kumar

MD:  Usha Khanna

Teri Galiyon Mein Na Rakhenge Kadam Aaj Ke Baad

I will not step on your streets after today

Teri Galiyon Mein Na Rakhenge Kadam Aaj Ke Baad

Tere Milne Ko Na Aayenge Sanam Aaj Ke Baad

I will not come to meet you after today

Teri Galiyon Mein...

Tu Mera Milna...

Tu Mera Milna Samajh Lena Ek Sapna Tha

Think of our meeting as a dream

Tujh Ko Ab Mil Hi Gaya Jo Tera Apna Tha

You have now found he whom was yours

Tu Mera Milna Samajh Lena Ek Sapna Tha

Tujh Ko Ab Mil Hi Gaya Jo Tera Apna Tha

Hum Ko Duniya Mein Samajhna Na Sanam Aaj Ke Baad

Do not think of me as existing in this world, my love, after today

Teri Galiyon Mein Na Rakhenge Kadam Aaj Ke Baad

Teri Galiyon Mein...

Ghir Ke Aayengi...

Ghir Ke Aayengi Ghatayein Phir Se Saawan Ki

The clouds of the rainy season will come again

Tum Tau Baahon Mein Rahogi Apne Saajan Ki

You will be in the arms of your beloved

Ghir Ke Aayengi Ghatayein Phir Se Saawan Ki

Tum Tau Baahon Mein Rahogi Apne Saajan Ki

Gale Hum Gham Ko Lagayenge Sanam Aaj Ke Baad

I (however) will embrace sorrow, my love, after today

Teri Galiyon Mein Na Rakhenge Kadam Aaj Ke Baad

Tere Milne Ko Na Aayenge Sanam Aaj Ke Baad

Teri Galiyon Mein....

Barbaad-e-Mohabbat Ki Dua

One of my most favorite songs from one of my favorite films with beautiful tragic lyrics by Sahir. To hear some unrelased Rafi/Madan Mohan goodness head over to Madan Mohan's official site. In the west and in modern times, the heart is the organ that is identified with love. In the east, it was the liver.

Film: Laila Majnu

Singer: Rafi
Lyrics: Sahir
MD: Madan Mohan & Jaidev

Barbaad-e-Mohabbat Ki Dua Saath Liye Ja

Barbaad-e-Mohabbat Ki Dua Saath Liye Ja

Take with you the blessing of devastated love.

Toota Hua Ikraar-e-Wafa Saath Liye Ja

Take with you the broken promise of faithfulness.

Barbaad-e-Mohabbat Ki Dua Saath Liye Ja

Ik Dil Tha, Jo Pehle Hi Tujhe Saunp Diya Tha

Ik Dil Tha, Jo Pehle Hi Tujhe Saunp Diya Tha

I had only one heart, which I had already given to you.

Yeh Jaan Bhi Ae Jaan-e-Adaa Saath Liye Ja

Yeh Jaan Bhi Ae Jaan-e-Adaa Saath Liye Ja

 Take with you my life (as well) O sweet coquet.

Tapdti Huyi Raahon Se Tujhe Aanch Na Pahunche

Tapdti Huyi Raahon Se Tujhe Aanch Na Pahunche

 May the heat not reach you (as you travel) over scorching paths

Deewane Ke Aashqon Ki Ghata Saath Liye Ja

Deewane Ke Aashqon Ki Ghata Saath Liye Ja

Take with you this madman's cloud of tears.

Shaamil Hai Mera Khoon-e-Jigar Tere Heena Mein

Shaamil Hai Mera Khoon-e-Jigar Tere Heena Mein 

The blood of my liver is mingled with (the color of) your Henna

Yeh Kam Ho Tau Ab Khoon-e-Wafa Saath Liye Ja

If this is not enough,  then take with you the blood of (my) fidelity.

Hum Jurm-e-Mohabbat Ki Saza Payenge Tanha

Hum Jurm-e-Mohabbat Ki Saza Payenge Tanha

I will suffer the punishment for the crime of love alone.

Jo Tujh Se Huyi Ho Woh Khata Saath Liye Ja

Jo Tujh Se Huyi Ho Woh Khata Saath Liye Ja

Take with you whatever wrong you may have commited.

Toota Hua Iqraar-e-Wafa Saath Liye Ja

Barbaad-e-Mohabbat Ki Dua Saath Liye Ja

Barbaad-e-Mohabbat Ki Dua Saath Liye Ja

Barson Guzar Jaate Hai Dil Ko Dil Bananay Mein

Aashiq Baithay Ne

Aashiq Baithay Ne
Bandha Jedah ??Haq-i-Kitre?? Raah Pai Gaya
Arshi Beh Ke Khudah Da Pata Le Gaya
Ishq Badle Khudah Bandhe Vich Pai Gaya
Har Nazara Husn Da Ishq Le Gaya

Dhuna Sekheya Haddan Nu Aag Laa Ke
Dhuna Sekheya Haddan Nu Aag Laa Ke
Yaara Teri Deed Badle

Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan

Sometimes you experience a perfect day... Is there anything more perfect then spending the entire day listening to music? A beautiful Sunday afternoon in the city of San Francisco, the venue: Stern Grove where the acoustics are amazing as evidenced by bootleg youtube videos. Check them out to experience some amazing live performances that include Teri Deewani (with a lyrical twist), Chak De Phattey and a cover of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Sanu Ik Pal Chain Na Aave Sajana Tere Bina, to name just a few. The band: Kailash Kher's Kailasa preceded by the perfect opening act, delhi 2 dublin for an amazing 5 hours of bliss. After seeing some artists live in concert, you appreciate them even more than you had before and in the case of Kailash Kher the recordings are truly just echoes... On tour in North America to promote his new album Yatra (Nomadic Souls) which releases on his new international label Cumbancha, don't miss him if he comes to your neighborhood. You can stream Yatra in it's entirety (and download one of the songs for free) here.



I recommend pretty much any song by Kailash Kher, but tonight this one hit me.

Albums: Chaandan Mein or Yatra (Nomadic Souls)

Singer: Kailash Kher
Lyrics: Kailash Kher
MD: Kailasa (Kailash, Naresh, Paresh)

Yun Tau Teri Yaad Mein Bhi Swaad Hai Tera,
Par Aankhon Ko Manau Kis Tarah?
Honthon Ki Majaal Kya Jo Karre Yeh Sawaal,
Par Dil Ko Main Samjhaun Kis Tarah?
Satt Ya Asatt Hai, Main Kya Jaanu...
Satt Ya Asatt Hai, Yeh Main Kya Jaanu,
Jaise Saansein Tere Bina Huyi Ghum...


Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Pardah Yeh Jab Hat Jaayega...
Pardah Yeh Jab Hat Jaayega,
Amber Ko Dharti Se Milaunga Main
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan


Bhoola Bhoola, Khoya Khoya, Bhataka Phirun Main Teri Chaha Mein
Takh Takh Akh Murrjai, Pathrai Teri Raaha Mein
Bhoola Bhoola, Khoya Khoya, Bhataka Phirun Main Teri Chaha Mein
Takh Takh Akh Murrjai, Pathrai Teri Aaha Mein
Aankhon Mein Meri Jo Samayega...
Aankhon Mein Meri Jo Sameyega, Pankh Bina Hi Ud Jaunga Main
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan


Kabhi Kabhi Dhoop, Kabhi Chhaon Tu Hi Hai, Pehachan Loon
Ya Tau Mujhe Hansa Bana De, Tau Main Tujhe Jaan Loon
Kabhi Kabhi Dhoop, Kabhi Chhaon Tu Hi Hai, Pehachan Loon
O Ya Taun Mujhe Hansa Bana De, Tau Main Tujhe Jaan Loon
Khushboo Se Jo Tu Bahar Aayega...
Khushboo Se Jo Tu Bahar Aayega, Suraj Ko Goud Mein Khilaunga Main
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Pardah Yeh Jab Hat Jaayega...
Pardah Yeh Jab Hat Jaayega, Amber Ko Dharti Se Milaunga Main
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan....
