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!
