Paraayi hoon paraayi meri aarzoo na kar

I had heard this song many a times as a kid in late 1960s. I had no inkling which movie this song was from but that did not prevent me from liking this song. From the voice I could make out that this song was sung by Lata. Yes, I could make out the difference between various singers even in those days.
Recently,I stumbled upon this song again recently. It is only now that I have realised that this song was from “Kanyaadaan” (1968).
I was aware of “Kanyaadaan” (1968) and I knew about its popular song “Likhe jo khat tujhe”. The fact that the movie had another great song makes this movie a good source of nice songs from the titanium year of Bolywood movie music . Yes, I call 1968 the titanium year of Bollywood movie music.
This song is written by Hasrat Jaipuri and music is composed by Shankar Jaikishan. And the picturisation of this song on Asha Parekh is interesting too.

Lyrics
paraayi hoon paraayi haan haan
paraayi hoon paraayi meri aarzoo na kar
paraayi hoon paraayi meri aarzoo na kar
naa mil sakoongi tujhko meri justju na kar
naa mil sakoongi tujhko meri justju na kar
paraayi hoon paraayi meri aarzoo na kar
mere khayaal mein khone se faaydaa kyaa hai
mere khayaal mein khone se faayadaa kyaa hai
hansi ke parde mein rone se faaydaa kyaa hai
udaas dil ko dubone se faaydaa kyaa hai
udaas dil ko dubone se faaydaa kyaa hai
jo mujhpe bojh ho aisi tu guftagu na kar
paraayi hoon paraayi haan haan
paraayi hoon paraayi meri aarzoo na kar
naa mil sakoongi tujhko meri justaju na kar
paraayi hoon paraayi meri aarzoo na kar
tujhe khabar hai ke meri baaraat aayi thi
tujhe khabar hai ke meri baaraat aayi thi
har ek phool ne shahnaayi si bajaayi thi
haseen taaron ne doli meri sajaayi thi
haseen taaron ne doli meri sajaayi thi
kisi ki ho chuki badnaam aabru na kar
paraayi hoon paraayi haan haan
paraayi hoon paraayi meri aarzoo na kar
naa mil sakoongi tujhko meri justaju na kar
paraayi hoon paraayi meri aarzoo na kar
jo meraa farz thaa maine use nibhaayaa hai
jo meraa farz thaa maine use nibhaayaa hai
khushi samaaj ki rakhi ye dil mitaayaa hai
wafaa ki raah mein ek deep saa jalaayaa hai
wafaa ki raah mein ek deep saa jalaayaa hai
mere khayaal ko tu apne ru baru na kar
paraayi hoon paraayi haan haan
paraayi hoon paraayi meri aarzoo na kar
naa mil sakoongi tujhko meri justaju na kar
paraayi hoon paraayi meri aarzoo na kar
