Lyrics
jab tum hi chale pardes lagaa kar thes
o preetam pyaaraa
duniyaa mein kaun hamaaraa
jab tum hi chale pardes lagaa kar thes
o preetam pyaaraa
duniyaa mein kaun hamaaraa
jab baadal ghir ghir aayenge
beete din yaad dilaayenge
jab baadal ghir ghir aayenge
beete din yaad dilaayenge
phir tum hi kaho kit jaaye naseeb hamaaraa
duniyaa mein kaun hamaaraa
phir tum hi kaho kit jaaye naseeb hamaaraa
duniyaa mein kaun hamaaraa
jab tum hi chale parades lagaa kar thes
o preetam pyaaraa
duniyaa mein kaun hamaaraa
aankhon se paani bahtaa hai
dil ro ro kar ye kahtaa hai
aankhon se paani bahtaa hai
dil ro ro kar ye kahtaa hai
jab tum hi ne saajan hamse kiyaa kinaaraa
duniyaa mein kaun hamaaraa
jab tum hi ne saajan hamse kiyaa kinaaraa
duniyaa mein kaun hamaaraa
jab tum hi chale pardes lagaa kar thes
o preetam pyaaraa
duniyaa mein kaun hamaaraa
jab tum hi chale pardes lagaa kar thes
o preetam pyaaraa
duniyaa mein kaun hamaaraa
