Lyrics
Roja, roja........ meree roja
Roja, roja........ meree roja
Ek najar me kho gaya dil, payee tujhme pyar kee manjil
Chu ne naa du tujhe chanda ko, chanchal hawa ko baharu ko
Sawan kee rim jhim phuaro ko, naa chu ne dunga naa chu ne dunga
Roja roja, roja roja..........
Saya bhee teraa gire naa jamin peh, badal sa chaya rahunga tujhpe
Yeh suraj kee tiro see kirne bhee, naa chubhne paye tujhko roja
Halka sa tabbasum teraa, khilta hai dekho magar gulsita
Chuptee hai najaru me tu, puchhe najar mujhse tu hai kaha
Roshan hai tujhse, meraa yeh jahan
Ai hasin sun jara, mere dil kee juban
Rat din hai mujhe, teree tadap abh yaha
Teraa hee jikr hai, teree hee fikr hai, roja, roja, roja.....
Roja, roja........ meree roja
Ek najar me kho gaya dil, payee tujhme pyar kee manjil...
Kudrat kee, khub nishanee hai
Ulfat kee jo naa kahee gayee, tu kahanee hai
Dil bole umrr bhar, jivan bhar
Padta hee raho tujhko, aye meree roja
Sharam-o-haya adaye teree, unape lutee, chah naa yeh jan meree
Phulo kee najar naa lagey, aankho me aaja chupa lu meree
Meraa kya, sabh kuchh abh toh hai teraa
Dil meraa, najrana diya tujhe hai sanam
Dil teraa, aashiyana hai meraa kya sanam
Keh de jara han toh jan tujhe de du
Roja, roja, roja
Roja, roja........ meree roja
Ek najar me kho gaya dil, payee tujh me pyar kee manjil
Roja, roja........ meree roja
Roja, roja.....
