Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
झूम ख़ुशी में झूम
आज मची है धूम
झूम ख़ुशी में झूम
शौक़ भरा दिल नाचे गाये
तू क्यूं हो महरूम
झूम ख़ुशी में झूम
दिल ने किया है, दिल को इशारा
चलेंगे दोनों संग
दिल ने किया है, दिल को इशारा
चलेंगे दोनों संग
कोई न समझे, कोई न जाने
कोई न समझे, कोई न जाने
इस दुनिया का रंग
इस दुनिया का रंग
दिल का फ़साना
या मैं जानूँ, या उनको मालूम
झूम ख़ुशी में झूम (झूम ख़ुशी में झूम)
आँखों ने इक राज़ बताया
दिल ने कही एक बात
आँखों ने इक राज़ बताया
दिल ने कही एक बात
जगमग जगमग रहें जहां में
काश यही दिन रात
काश यही दिन रात
सोई हुई उम्मीदें जागीं
दिल का दामन चूम
झूम ख़ुशी में (झूम ख़ुशी में)
