Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai
Kishore Kumar* · Kati Patang
Director: R.D.Burman
Lyricist: Anand Bakshi
Singers: Kishore Kumar*
Yeh jo mohabbat hai, yeh unka hai kaam
Mehboob ka jo bas lete hue naam
Mar jaaye, mit jaaye, ho jaaye badnaam
Rehne do chodo bhi jaane do yaar
Hum na karenge pyar... -- (2)
Toote agar sagar, naya sagar koi lele
Mere khuda dil se koi kisi se na khele
Dil toot jaaye to kya ho anjaam
Ankhen kisi se na ulajh jaye mai darta hoon
Yaaron haseenon ki gali se main guzarta hoon
Bas door hi se karke main salaam....
