जम के रखना कदम मेरे साथिया
आ देखें ज़रा किसमें कितना है दम
जम के रखना कदम मेरे साथिया
आ देखें ज़रा किसमें कितना है दम
जम के रखना कदम मेरे साथिया
जम के रखना कदम मेरे साथिया
आगे निकल आये हम वो पीछे रह गये
आगे निकल आये हम वो पीछे रह गये
ऊपर चले आये हम वो नीचे रह गये
ऊपर चले आये हम वो नीचे रह गये
वो हमसे हारेंगे, हम बाज़ी मारेंगे
हम उनसे क्या हैं कम, नाचेंगे ऐसे हम
नाचेंगे ऐसे हम नाचेंगे वो क्या
आ देखें ज़रा किसमें कितना है दम
जम के रखना कदम मेरे साथिया
आ देखें ज़रा किसमें कितना है दम
जम के रखना कदम मेरे साथिया
सारे शहर में हमीं हैं, हमसा कौन है
सारे शहर में हमीं हैं, हमसा कौन है
देखो इधर हम यहीं हैं, हमसा कौन है
देखो इधर हम यहीं हैं, हमसा कौन है
देखेंगे देखा है जादू क्या ऐसा है
यारों से जलने का, काँटों पे चलने का
काँटों पे चलने का क्या है फ़ायदा
आ देखें ज़रा किसमें कितना है दम
जम के रखना कदम मेरे साथिया
आ देखें ज़रा किसमें कितना है दम
जम के रखना कदम मेरे साथिया
