Paidal ho tum, manzil hai door
Hamadardi hai tumse, huzur
Maine kahaa, "mohataram
Ruke hue kyun hain qadam?"
Maine kahaa, "mohataram
Ruke hue kyun hain qadam?"
Kaahe ka hai intazaar?"
Maanaa ki hai lanbaa safar
Par tumhein kaahe ka dar?
Chadhati javanee hai, rut bhee suhaani hai
Manzil bhee rahee pukaar, oe-hoe
Maine kahaa, "mohataram
Ruke hue kyun hain qadam?"
Chalne mein paanv thak jaaen jo tumhaare
Le lenaa dam kaheen baith ke, pyaare
Chalne mein paanv thak jaaen jo tumhaare
Le lenaa dam kaheen baith ke, pyaare
Raahee ko hai thandi chhaanv zaroori
Banhon mein ho ya nadi ke kinaare
Jaanaa abhee hai tumko door
Mera kahaa karnaa zarur, haay
Maine kahaa, "mohataram
Ruke hue kyun hain qadam?"
Maine kahaa, "mohataram
Ruke hue kyun hain qadam?"
Dekho, kisi be-khataa kee
Aise hansee naa udaao
Oe, oe, oe, oe, oe
Lagtaa hai, ye bhee kahoge
"allaah, hamein naa satao"
Chalo re, sakhiyon, chunar utaaro
Ise to lat mein fasaa ke maaro
Dekho, kisi be-khataa kee
Aise hansee naa udaao
Oe, oe, oe, oe, oe
Lagtaa hai, ye bhee kahoge
"allaah, hamein naa satao"
Kar do muaaf mera qusur
Had ho gayi ab to, huzur, hoe
Maine kahaa, "mohataram
Ruke hue kyun hain qadam?"
Samjhe naa mohataram
Ruke hue kyun hain qadam?"
Kaahe ka hai intazaar?"
Maanaa ki hai lanbaa safar
Par tumhein kaahe ka dar?
Chadhati javanee hai, rut bhee suhaani hai
Manzil bhee rahee pukaar, oe-hoe
Maine kahaa, "mohataram
Sun liya, mohataram
Maine kahaa, "mohataram
Are, sun liya, mohataram
