Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
पिया बसंती रे काहे सताए आजा
जाने क्या जादू किया
प्यार की धुन छेड़े जिया
ओ ओ काहे सताए आजा
पिया बसंती रे काहे सताए आजा
ओ बादल ने अंगड़ाई ली जो कभी
लहराया धरती का आँचल ओ ओ ओ
बादल ने अंगड़ाई ली जो कभी
लहराया धरती का आँचल
ये पत्ता पत्ता ये बूटा बूटा
छेड़े है कैसी ये हलचल
मनवा ये डोले जाने क्या बोले
मनवा ये डोले जाने क्या बोले
मानेगा ना मेरा जिया
तेरे है हम तेरे पिया ओ
काहे सताए आजा
पिया बसंती रे काहे सताए आजा
पलकों के सिरहाने बैठे ख़्वाब वही जो आनेवाले
दिल की गिरह गिरह खोले मन में प्यार जगानेवाले हा
पलकों के सिरहाने बैठे ख़्वाब वही जो आनेवाले
दिल की गिरह गिरह खोले मन में प्यार जगानेवाले
सतरंगी सपने ये बोले रे
काहे सताए आजा हो
पिया बसंती रे काहे सताए आजा
पिया बसंती रे काहे सताए आजा
जाने क्या जादू किया
प्यार की धुन छेड़े जिया ओ
काहे सताए आजा पिया बसंती रे (ओ आ आ आ)
काहे सताए आजा (ओ आ आ आ)
