Yeh Dosti Hum Nahin song lyrics
Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge dam magar tera saath na chhodenge… (x2)
Ae meri jeet teri jeet, teri haar meri haar
Sun ae mere yaar
Tera gham mera gham, meri jaan teri jaan
Aisa apna pyaar
Jaan pe bhi khelenge, tere liye le lenge
Jaan pe bhi khelenge, tere liye le lenge
Sab se dushmani
Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge dam magar
Tera saath na chhodenge
Logon ko aate hain do nazar hum magar
Dekho do nahin
Arre ho judaa ya khafa ae khuda hai dua
Aisa ho nahin
Khaana peena saath hai
Marna jeena saath hai
Khaana peena saath hai
Marna jeena saath hai
Saari zindagi
Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge dam magar tera saath na chhodenge… (x2)
