O Meri Jaan
Pritam & KK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

दिल खुदगर्ज़ है फ़िसला है ये फ़िर हाथ से
कल उसका रहा अब है तेरा इस रात से
दिल खुदगर्ज़ है फ़िसला है ये फ़िर हाथ से
कल उसका रहा अब है तेरा इस रात से
ओ मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान

तू आ गया यूँ नज़र में
जैसे सुबह दोपहर में
मदहोशी यूँ ही नहीं दिल पे छाई
नियत ने ली अँगड़ाई
छुआ तूने कुछ इस तरह
बदली फ़िज़ा बदला समां
ओ मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान

नाता समझे ना हाँ ये दिल मेरा
जानूँ ना जानूँ ना इसको क्या हुआ(इसको क्या हुआ)
मेरी बाहों की फिर से ढूँढे ये पनाह
तू है कहाँ तू है कहाँ
ओ मेरी जान ओ
ओ मेरी जान ओ
ओ मेरी जान ओ




ओ मेरी जान (मेरी जान) ओ
ओ मेरी जान ओ
