LIGHTING A FIRE I’LL SIT OVER IT AT YOUR DOOR-STEPS,
tohre duwaari pe dhoonee ramaeebe,
LIGHTING A FIRE I’LL SIT OVER IT AT YOUR DOOR-STEPS,

Nice song!!! Very romantic and I really like songs in Bhojpuri flavour
ReplyDeleteAnd excellent style and composition. Hearing the Bhojpuri songs from Mohammed Rafi is really a great treat. Learning this song for singing in a Mahfil of friends will surely impress the gathering.
