Pal pal dil ke paas

Pal pal dil ke paas, tum rehti ho
Pal pal dil ke paas, tum rehti ho
Jeevan meethi pyaas, yeh kehti ho
Pal pal dil ke paas, tum rehti ho

Har shyam aankhon par tera aanchal lehraye
Har raat yaadon ki baaraat le aaye
Main saans leta hoon, teri khushboo aati hain
Ek mehka mehka sa paigaam laati hain
Mere dil ki dhadkan bhi tere geet gaati hain

Pal pal dil ke paas, tum rehti ho

Kal tujhko dekha tha maine apne aangan mein
Jaise keh rahi thi tum mujhe bandh lo bandhan mein
Yeh kaisa rishta hai, yeh kaise sapne hain
Begaane hokar bhi kyun lagte apne hain
Main soch mein rehta hoon, dar dar ke kehta hoon

Pal pal dil ke paas, tum rehti ho

Tum sochogi kyun itna main tumse pyaar karoon
Tum samjhogi deewana, main bhi ikraar karoon
Deewano ki yeh baatein, deewane jaante hain
Jalne mein kya maza hain, parwaane jaante hain
Tum yun hi jalaate rehna, aa aa kar khwabon mein

Pal pal dil ke paas, tum rehti ho
Jeevan meethi pyaas, yeh kehti ho
Pal pal dil ke paas, tum rehti ho

This is not here because of the lyrics. I like the first two lines and an occasional line in between: ‘Ek mehka mehka sa paigaam lati hain’, but on the whole, the lyrics underwhelm. This song is here because of Kishore Kumar, especially how he enunciates ‘pal pal’. I hope you are reading this with the song playing in the background. Enjoy! ~ R
