Bahaaron phool barsaao

Bahaaron phool barsaao, mera mehboob aaya hain
Mera mehboob aaya hain
Bahaaron phool barsaao, mera mehboob aaya hain
Mera mehboob aaya hain
Hawaaon raagini gaao, mera mehboob aaya hain
Mera mehboob aaya hain

O laali phool ki, mehndi laga inn gore haathon mein
Uttar a aye ghata, kaajal laga inn pyaari aankhon mein
Sitaaron maang bhar jaao, mera mehboob aaya hain
Mera mehboob aaya hain
Bahaaron phool barsaao, mera mehboob aaya hain
Mera mehboob aaya hain

Nazaaro har taraf ab taan do ek noor ki chaadar
Bada sharmila dilbar hain, chala jaaye na sharmakar
Zara tum dil ko behlaao, mera mehboob aaya hain
Mera mehboob aaya hain
Bahaaron phool barsaao, mera mehboob aaya hain
Mera mehboob aaya hain

Sajaai hain jawaan kaliyon ne ab ye sejh ulfat ki
Inhein maalum tha, aayegi ek din rut mohabbat ki
Fazaaon rang bikhraaon, mera mehboob aaya hain
Mera mehboob aaya hain
Bahaaron phool barsaao, mera mehboob aaya hain
Mera mehboob aaya hain
