For all songs in this series, go here

This song is from the 1970 Indian Hindi-language thriller film The Train. It is a remake of the 1967 Malayalam film Cochin Express.

Music was composed by R. D. Burman to the Lyrics penned by Anand Bakhsi. Sung by Mohammad Rafi. I always wondered how one can love a girl who has rose eyes. If I think they are rosy red, how would someone likes one with constant red eyes constantly. If we think the eyes are rose shaped, how can a girl have rose shaped eyes, the person must have very big eyes then. It just cracks me up a lot

Lyrics transliterated:

Gulabi Aankhen Jo Teri Dekhi; Sharabi Ye Dil Ho Gaya

Sambhalo Mujhko O Mere Yaaron; Sambhalna Mushkil Ho Gaya

Dil Mein Mere Khwab Tere; Tasveer Jaise Ho Deewar Pe

Tujhpe Fidaa Main Kyun Hua; Aata Hai Gussa Mujhe Pyaar Pe

Main Lut Gayaaa; Mann Ke Dil Ka Kaha

Main Kahi Ka Na Rahaa; Kya Kahu Main Dil Rooba

Bura Yeh Jaadu Teri Aankhon Ka; Yeh Mera Katil Ho Gaya

Gulabi Aankhen Jo Teri Dekhi; Sharabi Yeh Dil Ho Gaya

Maine Sadaa Chaha Yahi; Daaman Bacha Lun Haseeno Se Main

Teri Kasamn Khwabon Mein Bhi; Bachta Firaa Nazneeno Se Main

Tauba Magar Mil Gayi Tujhse Nazar; Mil Gaya Darde Jigar Sun Zara O Bekhabar

Zara Sa Haaske Jo Dekha Thune; Main Tera Bismil Hogaya

Gulabi Aankhen Jo Teri Dekhi; Sharabi Yeh Dil Ho Gaya

Sambhalo Mujhko O Mere Yaaron; Sambhalna Mushkil Ho Gaya
