Song Synopsis:

Log tootthe taron se

Vachan lete hain

Khud vachan karte hain

Aur tod dete hain

Bevafaon ki toh

Aadat hi aisi hai

Mohabbat karke bhi

Muh mod lete hain.

Log tootthe taron se

Vachan lete hain

Khud vachan karte hain

Aur tod dete hain

Bevafaon ki toh

Aadat hi aisi hai

Mohabbat karke bhi

Muh mod lete hain.

Yeh chulbuli baten

Chanchal si najren

Nakhrali adaayain

Yeh manchali chalen

Pyar Karne valo

Samhalna seekho

Bada dard hota hai

Tootthe jee ko.

Log tootthe taron se

Vachan lete hain

Khud vachan karte hain

Aur tod dete hain

Bevafaon ki toh

Aadat hi aisi hai

Mohabbat karke bhi

Muh mod lete hain.

Log tootthe taron se

Vachan lete hain

Khud vachan karte hain

Aur tod dete hain

Bevafaon ki toh

Aadat hi aisi hai

Mohabbat karke bhi

Muh mod lete hain.

Log tootthe taron se

Vachan lete hain

Khud vachan karte hain

Aur tod dete hain.

Meaning of the song:

Promise once made is to be kept...only those who've suffered deceit in love know its value! Very few people make promises and keep them; as world is largely filled with those, who don't.

Breaking someone's faith in love is the worst of all broken promises, as the heart that is beating in love, is living off this beautiful feeling and its various moments, while some hearts may move on smoothly after calling it quits...there are some hearts that continue to bleed in pain!
