Track:Madhuban khushboo deta hai Album:SAAJAN BIN SUHAGAN Artist:Yesudas Lata Mangeshkar music: Usha khanna Lyrics: Indeevar

Madhuban khushboo deta hai, saagar saawan deta hai

Jeena uska jeena hai, jo auro ko jeewan deta hai

Madhuban khushboo deta hai

Suraj na ban paaye to, banke deepak jalta chal – ( Repeat)

Phool mile ya angaare, sach ki raaho pe chalta chal – (Repeat)

Pyaar dilo ko deta hai, ashqo ko daaman deta hai

Jeena uska jeena hai, jo auro ko jeewan deta hai Madhuban khushboo deta hai saagar saawan deta hai Madhuban khushboo deta hai

Chalti hai lehraake pawan, ke saans sabhi ki chalti rahe -(Repeat)

Logo ne tyaag diye jeewan,  ke preet dilo mein palti rahe -(Repeat)

Dil woh dil hai jo auro ko, apni dhadhkan deta hai

Jeena uska jeena hai, jo auro ko jeewan deta hai

Madhuban khushboo deta hai

saagar saawan deta hai

Madhuban khushboo deta hai
