ye dosti tere dam se hai, ye dosti tere dam se hai
ye dosti tere dam se hai, ye dosti tere dam se hai
ha ye dosti tere dam se hai, ye dosti tere dam se hai
tu zindagi, tu zindagi, tu zindagi kasam se hai
saari khushi tere dam se hai, saari khushi tere dam se hai
saari khushi tere dam se hai, saari khushi tere dam se hai
tu zindagi, tu zindagi, tu zindagi kasam se hai
ye dosti tere dam se hai, ye dosti tere dam se hai

main kitna tanha tha ai dost ek tere bina
tera dil bhi tha khali khali dekh mere bina
tu jo mila aaisa laga bikhra hua sapna saja
mohabbat ki baharon se ye daman bhar diya tune
ye daman bhar diya tune, ye daman bhar diya tune
meri viran raho me ujala kar diya tune
ujala kar diya tune
aa ye roshni tere dam se hai
saari khushi tere dam se hai, saari khushi tere dam se hai
ye dosti tere dam se hai, ye dosti tere dam se hai

koi puchhe jo mujhse ke wo rab kaisa hai
use bata du ke wo mere yaar jaisa hai
kasmon me tu vaado me tu, har pal rahe yaadon me tu
meri duniya mere armaan meri pehchaan tujhse hai
meri pehchan tujhse hai, meri pehchan tujhse hai
mere jeevan meri dhadkan meri toh jaan tujhse hai
meri toh jaan tujhse hai
aa ye saans bhi tere dam se hai
ye dosti tere dam se hai, ye dosti tere dam se hai
ho ye dosti tere dam se hai, ye dosti tere dam se hai
tu zindagi tu zindagi tu zindagi kasam se hai
saari khushi tere dam se hai, saari khushi tere dam se hai
ye dosti tere dam se hai, ye dosti tere dam se hai

This friendship breathes life through you, this friendship breathes life through you,
This friendship breathes life through you, this friendship breathes life through you,
Yes, this friendship breathes life through you, this friendship breathes life through you,
You are life, you are life, you are life, I swear it is true.
All joy springs forth because of you, all joy springs forth because of you,
All joy springs forth because of you, all joy springs forth because of you,
You are life, you are life, you are life, I swear it is true.
This friendship breathes life through you, this friendship breathes life through you.

How desolate I was, O friend, without your grace,
Your heart felt empty, too, bereft of my embrace.
But when you came, it felt as if a scattered dream took hold,
With love's warm spring, you filled my soul, your story to be told,
You filled my soul, you filled my soul.
You lit the path that once was cold, a guiding light you gave,
A guiding light you gave.
Oh, this light shines because of you,
All joy springs forth because of you, all joy springs forth because of you,
This friendship breathes life through you, this friendship breathes life through you.

If someone asks what God might be,
I'd say He is just like my friend, you see.
In oaths and vows, in every thought, in every memory, you reside,
My world, my hopes, my very core, with you, my heart will abide,
With you, my heart will abide, with you, my heart will abide.
My life, my pulse, the breath I take, my soul, it’s bound to you,
My soul, it's bound to you.
Oh, even this breath breathes because of you,
This friendship breathes life through you, this friendship breathes life through you,
Yes, this friendship breathes life through you, this friendship breathes life through you,
You are life, you are life, you are life, I swear it is true.
All joy springs forth because of you, all joy springs forth because of you,
This friendship breathes life through you, this friendship breathes life through you.
