is baar naheen aa paaoongaa
par nishchay hee yah hRday meraa
bechainee se akulaaegaa
kuchh neer nain bhar laaegaa
par jag ke kaaryakalaapon se
daaitvon ke anupaaton se
haaroongaa, jeet n paaoongaa
is baar naheen aa paaoongaa
jab sandhyaa kee antim laalee
neelaanbar par bichh jaaegee
nabh par chhitare ghanadal ke sang
jab sandhyaa raaginee gaaegee
man se kuchh kuchh sun to loongaa
par saath naheen gaa paaoongaa
is baar naheen aa paaoongaa
jab praatः kee manthar sameer
vRkShon ko sahalaa jaaegee
mandir kee ghanTee door kaheen
prabhu kee mahimaa ko gaaegee
tab joḌ yaheen se haathon ko
apanaa praNaam pahunchaaoongaa
is baar naheen aa paaoongaa
jab greeShm kaal kee hariyaalee
amaraaee par chhaa jaaegee
koohoo koohoo kar ke koyal
ras aamon men bhar jaaegee
ras ko peene kee jid karate
man ko kaise samajhaaoongaa
is baar naheen aa paaoongaa
jab iThalaate baadal ke dal
poorab se jal bhar laaenge
jab rang birange pankh khol
kar mor nRty itaraaenge
mere pag bhee kuchh thirakenge
par naach naheen main paaoongaa
is baar naheen aa paaoongaa
jab tyauhaaron ke aane kee
raunak hogee baajaaron men
khushaboo jaanee pahachaanee se
bikharegee ghar chaubaaron men
us khushaboo kee yaadon ko le
main sapanon men kho jaaoongaa
is baar naheen aa paaoongaa
