Dost kya khoob wafaoan ka sila dete hain
Dost kya khoob wafaoan ka sila dete hain
Har naye moad par ek zakhm naya dete hain
Dost kya khoob wafaoan ka sila dete hain
Har naye moad par ek zakhm naya dete hain
Dost kya khoob wafaoan ka sila dete hain
Tum se toh khair ghadi bharki mulaqaat rahi Tum se toh khair ghadi bharki mulaqaat rahi
Log sadiyon ki rafaqat ko bhooladete hain
Har naye moad par ek zakhm naya dete hain
Dost kya khoob wafaoan ka sila dete hain
Kaise mumkin hai dhuwaan bhi na ho aur dil bhi jale
Kaise mumkin hai dhuwaan bhi na ho aur dil bhi jale
Choat parti hai toh patthar bhi sadaa dete hai
Har naye moad par ek zakhm naya dete hain
Dost kya khoob wafaoan ka sila dete hain
Koan hota hai museebat mein kisi ka hai dost
Koan hota hai museebat mein kisi ka hai dost
Aag lagti hai to pattay bhi hawa dete hain
Har naye moad par ek zakhm naya dete hain
Dost kya khoob wafaoan ka sila dete hain
Kaise mumkin hai dhuwan bhi na ho aru dil bhi jalay
Kaise mumkin hai dhuwan bhi na ho aru dil bhi jalay
Choot parti hai to pathar bhi sada dete hain
Har naye moad par ek zakhm naya dete hain
Dost kya khoob wafaoan ka sila dete hain
Jin pay hota hai bohot dil ko bharosa tabish
Jin pay hota hai bohot dil ko bharosa tabish
Waqt parnay pay wohee loag dagha dete hain
Har naye moad par ek zakhm naya dete hain
Dost kya khoob wafaoan ka sila dete hain
Har naye moad par ek zakhm naya dete hain
Dost kya khoob wafaoan ka sila dete hain.
