And now it’s time for the 2nd song of the album “Ekk Deewana Tha”, and the one I like the most (in this album, that is) – Dost Hai Hum Toh (Girl I Loved You). It’s really an English song, with only 2 Hindi lines thrown in between; just like A R Rahman's song Mahiya from SuperHeavy. I like this song mostly 'coz of the groovy music and the lyrics is cool; totally fits someone I knew.
Though very difficult to understand at one or two points. I did a google and was baffled to find that every single lyrics site has got most of the lines wrong. Everyone is hearing "pain i've got" as "made of god"...!! Com'on, that line was pretty clear. At least use some common sense. Nonethless, I too have some confusions in other few lines. (It's in italics in the lyrics box).

All in all, this is the most accurate lyrics of the song Dost hai hum from Ekk Deewana Tha.
"Dost hai hum toh" - ye bahana kyun?
Pyaar hai humko ye chhupana kyun?
(Heyyyy....)
You just left me all alone in the Dark (No..)
When you had to leave me, why'd you give me all that's whack.
(Heyyyy....)
Yeah yeah I’m shattered now.
Feeling so battered now.
I’m tryin’ to move, tryin’ to find the groove
But this ain't workin’ somehow.
Used to be a hustler
Shooting guns, making dollars.
Used to be a guzzler
Smokin’ pots sippin hollow
Now all this money ain't helping me to forget
all this pain I've got
(pain I've got)
