Lyrics
Hey tumne kabhee kisee se pyar kiya
Kabhee kisee ko dil diya, maine bhee diya
La la la la la la la la............. - (4)
Meree umar ke naujawano la la la la la la la la.....
Dil naa lagana o divano la la la la la la la la.....
Ai meree umar ke naujawano, dil naa lagana o divano
Maine pyar karke chain khoya, nind khoyee
Arre jhuth toh kehte nahee hai, kehte nahee hai log koyee
Ae pyar se badhkar nahee hai, badhkar nahee hai rog koyee
Chalta nahee hai dil deke yaro, iss dil pe jor koyee - (2)
Iss rog kaa nahee hai ilaj, duneeya me aur koyee
Toh gao om shantee om, shantee shantee om
Om shantee om, shantee shantee om - (3)
Hey maine kisiko dil deke kar lee rate kharab dekho - (2)
Aaya nahee abhee tak udhar se -2, koyee jawab dekho
Woh naa kahenge toh khudkashee bhee kar jaunga mai yaaro - (2)
Woh ha kahenge toh bhee khushee se, mar jaaonga mai yaaro
Toh gao om shantee om, shantee shantee om
Om shantee om, shantee shantee om
Jo chhup gaya hai pehalee najar kaa, pehla salam lekar - (2)
Har ek sans leta hu abb mai, (uska hee nam lekar -2)
Mere hajaro divane, abb mai khud ban gaya divana - (2)
Yeh wakt tumpe aa jaye pyar me, toh yeh git gana
Sing om shantee om, shantee shantee om
Om shantee om, shantee shantee om
Meree umar ke naujawano, dil naa lagana o divanon
Maine pyar karke chain khoya, nind khoyee
Arre jhuth toh kehte nahee hai, kehte nahee hai log koyee
Ae, pyar se badhkar nahee hai, badhkar nahee hai rog koyee
Chalta nahee hai dil deke yaaro, iss dil pe jor koyee
Iss rog kaa nahee hai ilaj, duneeya me aur koyee
Toh gao om shantee om, shantee shantee om
