Lyrics - Hindi
एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
जैसे खिलता गुलाब, जैसे शायर का ख्वाब
जैसी उजली किरण, जैसे वन में हिरन
जैसी चांदनी रात, जैसी नरमी की बात
जैसे मंदिर में हो एक जलता दिया
हो एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
जैसे सुबह की किरण, जैसे खिलते फूल
जैसे बजरे की खुशबू, जैसी मीठी सी हंसी
जैसे कोई नहीं सी लहर, जैसे बेकरारी
जैसी इनायत, जैसी इकरार
जैसे मंदिर में हो एक जलता दिया
हो एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
जैसे सावन में कोई कोयल
जैसे पतझड़ में भीगी हुई हरि पत्ते की सुगंध
जैसी बिजली पे गिरना, जैसे मेरा दिल धड़का
जैसे आंचल में कोई फूल
जैसे कोई प्रेम कहानियां, जैसी कोई अफसाना
जैसे मंदिर में हो एक जलता दिया
हो एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
जैसे रंगों की है दुनिया
जैसे ख्वाबों की है जानातें
जैसे उजली सुबहों की रोशनी
जैसे वैन में मोर नाच
जैसी चंपाकली कोई, जैसी सलोनी कोई
जैसी हिरनी जैसी नैया
जैसे मंदिर में हो एक जलता दिया
हो एक लड़की को देखा तो ऐसा लगा
Lyrics - English
Ho ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga
Jaise khilta gulaab, jaise shaayar ka khwaab
Jaise ujli kiran, jaise van mein hiran
Jaise chaandni raat, jaise narmi ki baat
Jaise mandir mein ho ek jalta diya
Ho ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga
Jaise subah ki kirne, jaise khilte phool
Jaise bajre ki khushbu, jaise meethi si hansi
Jaise koi nai si lehar, jaise bekaraari
Jaise inaayat, jaise ikraar
Jaise mandir mein ho ek jalta diya
Ho ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga
Jaise saawan mein koi koyal
Jaise patjhad mein bhigi hui hari patte ki sugandh
Jaise bijli pe girna, jaise mera dil dhadka
Jaise aanchal mein koi phool
Jaise koi prem kahaniyan, jaise koi afsaana
Jaise mandir mein ho ek jalta diya
Ho ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga
Jaise rangon ki hai duniya
Jaise khwabon ki hai jaanatain
Jaise ujli subahon ki roshni
Jaise van mein mor nacha
Jaise champakali koi, jaise saloni koi
Jaise hirni jaise naiya
Jaise mandir mein ho ek jalta diya
Ho ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga
