Greetings and best wishes to all readers for the festival of Raksha Bandhan today.
This song is from the 1985 film ‘Ghar Dwaar’. The film is produced by Mohan ji Prasad and SK Jain, and is directed by Kalptaru. The star cast of this film is impressive and includes Shriram Lagoo, Tanuja, Sachin, Raj Kiran, Shoma Anand, Kadar Khan, Ashok Saraf, Ashalata etc. The music for this film is composed by Chitragupt. Checking through the available articles on Chitragupt ji, he passed away in 1991. This film could well be one of the last films that he composed for. I am unable to locate the name of the lyricist, and would request other knowledgeable readers to please add this information.
As per online resources, the singing voices in this song are Manhar, Mohammed Aziz and Suresh Wadkar. On screen, this song is performed by Shriram Lagoo, lip syncing for Manhar; Raj Kiran lip syncing for Mohammed Aziz and Sachin performing on the voice of Suresh Wadkar. Also visible in the video clip are Tanuja, who apparent plays the role of Shriram Lagoo’s wife in the film. And the young sister’s role is played by Shoma AnandShradda Verma.
This song may qualify as one of the songs which is performed by an unlikely, unexpected actor. I do not recall having seen Dr. Shriram Lagoo lip syncing a song on screen. This song is the first such song in my experience.
Best wishes, once again, to all. Enjoy this wonderful composition by Chitragupt.

Lyrics
meri behnaa
ye raakhi ki laaj
tera bhaiyyaa nibhaayegaa
meri behnaa
ye raakhi ki laaj
tera bhaiyyaa nibhaayegaa
tujhe dil se
kabhi na bhulaayegaa
meri behnaa ye raakhi ki laaj
tera bhaiyyaa nibhaayegaa
din raat dekhe
man ek sapna
jab teri baaraat aayegi angnaa
din raat dekhe
man ek sapna
jab teri baaraat aayegi angnaa
heere moti tujh pe lutaa ke
heere moti tujh pe lutaa ke
chaand taaron se doli sajaayegaa
meri behnaa ye raakhi ki laaj
tera bhaiyyaa nibhaayegaa
hum ek daal ke
phool hain saare
ek dooje ko
jaan se pyaare
ho hum ek daal ke
phool hain saare
ek dooje ko
jaan se pyaare
pyaar ka bandhan
preet ki dori
pyaar ka bandhan
preet ki dori
koi kaise kabhi tod paayegaa
meri behnaa ye raakhi ki laaj
tera bhaiyyaa nibhaayegaa
tu paas ho ya
door kahin jaaye
saari umar tu
yoon hi muskuraaye
tu paas ho ya
door kahin jaaye
saari umar tu
yoon hi muskuraaye
tujh pe kabhi jo koi aanch aaye
tujh pe kabhi jo koi aanch aaye
jaan teri khushi pe lutaayegaa
meri behnaa ye raakhi ki laaj
tera bhaiyyaa nibhaayegaa
tujhe dil se
kabhi na bhulaayegaa
meri behnaa ye raakhi ki laaj
tera bhaiyyaa nibhaayegaa
o meri behnaa ye raakhi ki laaj
tera bhaiyyaa nibhaayegaa

Atul ji,
Thanks for updating the name of the lyricist in the post.
Incidentally, when I opened my mailbox a few minutes ago, I found an email from Harish ji already in there, with the information about the lyricist if this song.
Thanks again to both of you.
