कभि आना तू मेरी गल्ली - Euphoria - Divx

This album song by the "Euphoria" team of Dr.Palash Sen "Kabhi Aana Tu Meri Gali" is my favorite since I saw it first. Euphoria team's dhoom and phir-dhoom are also worth watching and listening.

Kya karegi tu ghar se nikalke, jaaegi tu kahaan,
Kya dekhegi tu Taj Mahal ko, main na hoon jo wahaan,
Kya nazar aur kya nazaare, kuchh nahin inmein baat,
Nagri-nagri kya dhoondegi, main nahi jo tere saath.





Kabhi aana tu meri gully
Tujhe palkon pe rakhoonga ji.
Baat dil ki karoon Hindustani jo hoon,
Jab jee chaahe to aaja na jee.
Kabhi aana tu meri gully

Kya karegi tu Kashmir jaake, swarg tera yahaan
Kya baithegi tu Ganga-kinaare, main na hoon jo wahaan.
Kya ye jannat, kya ye teerath, kuchh nahin tere kaam
Ho jaaenge dhaam saare, legi jab mera naa-ha-ha-ha-haam.

Mere dil ke mohalle mein aake dil lagaake to jaa
Saari gullian tujhe hee pukaarein, aake to sun zaraa.
Na chinar hai, na pahadh hai, na samunder yahaan,
Phir bhi shahron ka shahar hai, main rahoon jo yahaan.

Baat dil ki kahoon aur dil se hee sunoo…
Baat dil ki kahoon tere dil mein rahoon…
Kabhi aana tu meri gully
Tujhe palkon pe rakhoonga ji.
Kabhi aana tu meri gully
Tujhe dil mein basaa loonga ji.

Roz roz meri gully aana hai bura
Aake bina baat kiye jaana hai bura!
