Lyrics
Yeh rishta naa tute
Chor jo kare choree toh pakada jaaye
Janjiro me jaalim woh jakada jaaye
Are woh jo dil churaaye phir kyon naa pakada jaaye
Jisako kahate hain toh chitchor
Ho koyee gavaah toh woh pakada jaaye
Janjiro me jaalim woh jakada jaaye
Are woh jo dil churaaye duniya ko najar naa aaye
Aise chor pe chale naa koyee jor
Chor jo kare choree toh.......
Kaise sunaau mai usakee kahaanee, achchha chain churaaya o ho
Nind churaayee chain churaaya chal ke koyee chal
Phir sapano me aata hoga woh divaana
Surat hai kaisee jara yeh toh bataana
Kya kaala hai woh naa naa phir gora hoga ha ha
Gora hoga lamba hoga bikhare honge baal
Ha bikhare bikhare baal
Ha aisee choree kar jaaye koyee, macha sake naa shor
Chor jo kare choree toh.......
Mai dil ke chor ko pakad liya hai
Pyaar kee janjiro me jakad liya hai
Jel bhej du naa naa sulee chadha du
Kya hai tumhe manjur
Mere dil ke chor ko mai dungee saja
Woh tadapega mai dekhungee phir aayega maja
Jo bolungee ha ha karana hoga achchha
Jo bolungee karana hoga jina hoga marana hoga
Toh umar kaid karava du dil se bhaag sake naa chor
Chor jo kare choree toh.......
