Bheegi Si Bhaagi Si
Pritam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boli aankhein tere liye sandesa hai, haan hai
Jaagi aankhon ka bhi sapna milega
Koi khushiaane ka bhi andesha hai, haan hai
Gulaabi si subah
Sharaabi si hawa
Bheegi si bhaagi si
Jogi si jaagi si
Koi prem dhun woh sunaye
Bheegi si bhaagi si
Meri baazuon mein samayi
Jogi si jaagi si
Koi raam dhun woh sunaye
Raahein wahein bole baatein rumani
Aao baitho suno baatein kahani hai, haan hai
Taazi taazi lagey humko ruzana
Teri meri baatein yun to purani hai, haan hai
Khayalon se pale
Ye zindagi chale
Bheegi si bhaagi si
Meri baazuon mein samayi
Jogi si jaagi si
Koi prem dhun woh sunaye
Bheegi si bhaagi si
Meri baazuon mein samayi
Jogi si jaagi si
Koi raam dhun woh sunaye
Meri aankhon ki siaahi, piya deti hai gawahi
Main pyaasi thi niraasi, tu paani ki surahi
Meri aankhon ki siaahi, piya deti hai gawahi
Tujhe dekha to khila hoon
Tere chahat mein dulah hoon
Mile mandir mein khuda ju
Main to tujh mein yun mila hoon
Meri aankhon ki siaahi, piya deti hai gawahi
Meri aankhon ki siaahi, piya deti hai gawahi
Dhoonde na ab koyi
Main khoya tu khoyi
Bheegi si bhaagi si
Meri baazuon mein samayi

Koi prem dhun woh sunaye
Bheegi si bhaagi si
Meri baazuon mein samayi
Jogi si jaagi si
Koi raam dhun woh sunaye

Everybody is talking about that "ahaa haaan" but nobody's gonna talk about that "haah" that she takes in between? Antara's voice is melodious.
