Kajra Mohabbat Wala Lyrics in Hindi
कजरा मोहब्बत वाला , अखियों में ऐसा डाला
कजरे ने ले ली मेरी जान, हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुरबान
दुनिया है मेरे पीछे, लेकिन मैं तेरे पीछे
अपना बना ले मेरी जान
हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुरबान
कजरा मोहब्बत वाला, अखियों में ऐसा डाला
कजरे ने ले ली मेरी जान, हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुरबान
आई हो कहाँ से गोरी आँखों में प्यार ले के
आई हो कहाँ से गोरी आँखों में प्यार ले के
चढ़ती जवानी की ये पेहली बहार ले के
दिल्ली शेहेर का सारा मीना बाज़ार ले के
दिल्ली शेहेर का सारा मीना बाज़ार ले के
झुमका बरेली वाला
कानो में ऐसा डाला, झुमके ने ले ली मेरी जान
हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुरबान
दुनिया है मेरे पीछे, लेकिन मैं तेरे पीछे
अपना बना ले मेरी जान, हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुरबान
मोटर ना बंगला मांगु , झुमका ना हार मांगु
मोटर ना बंगला मांगु, झुमका ना हार मांगु
दिल को चलाने वाले दिल का करार मांगु
सइयाँ बेदर्दी मेरे थोड़ा सा प्यार मांगु
सइयाँ बेदर्दी मेरे थोड़ा सा प्यार मांगु
किस्मत बना दे मेरी ,दुनिया बसाले मेरी
करले सगाई मेरी जान ,हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुरबान
कजरा मोहब्बत वाला ,अखियों में ऐसा डाला
कजरे ने ले ली मेरी जान , हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुरबान
जब से है देखा तुझको, हो गये ग़ुलाम तेरे
जब से है देखा तुझको, हो गये ग़ुलाम तेरे
अपना बना ले गोरी, आएंगे काम तेरे
अपना ये जीवन सारा, लिख देंगे नाम तेरे -2
कुर्ता ये जाली वाला, उसपर मोतियन की माला
कुर्ते ने ले ली मेरी जान, हाये रे मैं तेरे क़ुरबान
दुनिया है मेरी पीछे, लेकिन मैं तेरे पीछे
अपना बना ले मेरी जान, हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुरबान
कजरा मोहब्बत वाला अखियों में ऐसा डाला कजरे ने ले ली मेरी जान हाय रे मैं तेरे क़ुरबान
