Tera Saath Hain Toh

Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar

teraa saath hain to, muze kyaa kamee hain

andhero se bhee, mil rahee roshanee hain

kuchh bhee naheen hain to, koee gam naheen hain

hye yek bebasee, ban gayee chaandanee hain



tootee hain kashtee, tej hain dhaaraa

kabhee naa kabhee to, milegaa kinaaraa

bahee jaa rahee, ye samay kee nadee hain

ise paar karane kee aashaa jagee hain



har ik mushkil saral lag rahee hain

muze zopadee bhee mahal lag rahee hain

in aakhon mein maanaa, namee hee namee hain

magar is namee par hee duniyaan thamee hain



mere saath tum muskuraa ke to dekho

udaasee kaa baadal hataa ke to dekho

kabhee hain ye aansoo, kabhee ye hasee hain

mere humasafar, bas yahee jindagee hain
