Pritam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can’t take my eyes off you
Pretty lady, Pretty lady, Pretty lady
राई Bareilly में तू
बीच बज़ारी जब
हुस्न दिखाने जाएगी
होश उड़ाने वाली
पेंच लड़ाने जाएगी
Pretty lady, Pretty lady, Pretty lady
राई बारेल्ली में तू
बीच बज़ारी जब
हुस्न दिखाने जाएगी
होश उड़ाने वाली
शोख़ नज़र के जो
पेंच लड़ाने जाएगी
अर्रे पहें के इतना ज़ेवर गहना
तेज़ हवा से बच के रहना
गिर जाए तो फिर ना कहना
झुमका गिरा रे
है झुमका, ओये झुमका
है झुमका, झुमका
What झुमका?
What झुमका?
What झुमका?
आए हाए हाए
What झुमका?
Pretty lady, Pretty lady, Pretty lady
शक़ल से जितना नेक है तू
क़सम से उतना फेक है तू
पद गया, क्यों गले
दुमछल्ले की तरह
हाए
चिपक के सेलोटेप जैसा
लगा हुआ है चेप जैसा
ना किसी काम का
निठल्ले की तरह
बस ढूँढ रहा है मौक़ा
खुल के मारेगा चौका
बाइ चान्स किसी लड़की का
जहाँ झुमका गिरा रे
What झुमका?
What झुमका?
What झुमका?
आए हाए हाए

तेरे हुस्न के ego का massage करूं
तेरा झुमका खोया जो गलती हे तेरी
और ठाणे जाके FIR में launch करूं
जानती हे के में तुझपे फ़िदा हूँ
जानती हे फिर भी तेरी आत्मा को मिलती हे शांति हे
मुझे ऐसे काम पे लगा के
बस ढूंढ़ता रहूं में तेरा झुमका
अर्रे पहें के इतना ज़ेवर गहना
तेज़ हवा से बच के रहना
