Asha Bhosle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

मी आज फूल झाले मी आज फूल झाले
मी आज फूल झाले
जणू कालच्या कळीला लावण्यरूप आले
मी आज फूल झाले

सोन्याहुनी सतेज ही भासते सकाळ
किरणांतुनी रवि हा फेकीत इंद्रजाल
मी बावरी खुळी ग या सावलीस भ्याले

मी आज फूल झाले मी आज फूल झाले

आली कशी कळेना ओठांस आज लाली
स्पर्शून जाय वारा शब्दांस जाग आली
फुलवून पाकळ्या मी ओल्या दंवात न्हाले
मी आज फूल झाले मी आज फूल झाले

मी पाहते मला का डोळे भरून आज
लागेल दृष्ट माझी पदरी लपेल लाज
मी आज यौवनाचा शृंगारसाज ल्याले
मी आज फूल झाले मी आज फूल झाले

जणू कालच्या कळीला लावण्यरूप आले
मी आज फूल झाले
