Ek Din Bahaar Ka

[Intro — Soft piano, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, slow and lonely]

Hmmmm… aaahhh…
Ae zindagiiii…
Ooooo… aaahhh…

Verse 1 — Deep, soulful male vocal

Ae gham-e-zindagiiii, mujhko zaraa ye bataaaa…
Kya mere hisse mein likha hai bas dard ka raastaaa…
Kya tere paas mere liye khizaaaaan hi khizaaaaan…
Kya kabhi khilne na dega mere khwaabon ka jahaaaaan…

Har roz ek naya gham, har roz nayi udaasiii…
Har subah kyun le aati hai dard ki ek kahaaniiii…
Jis taraf bhi nazar karoon, tanhaaiyaan milti hain…
Meri khamosh dhadkan bhi mujhse sawaal karti hai…

Long alaap
Aaaaaah… kyun aisaa haiiiii…
Kyun aisaa haiiiii…

Verse 2 — Piano and soft guitar continue

Koi gham ko mitaane ka raasta nazar nahin aata…
Is thake hue dil ko ab kuch bhi raas nahin aata…
Na koi poochhe haal mera, na koi samjhe zubaan…
Main hansta hoon zamaane mein, magar rota hai jahaan…

Koi poochhe mujhse aakar, tujhe aakhir chaahiye kya…
Main sochta hoon der tak, magar keh paaun kya…
Khushi ka naam suna hai, magar dekhi kabhi nahin…
Mere labon pe hansi hai, magar dil mein roshni nahin…

Khushi kya haiiiii…
Mujhe pataa hi nahiiii…
Khushi kya haiiiii…
Mujhe pataa hi nahiiii…

[Chorus — Strings rise, emotional male vocal]

Ae gham-e-zindagiiii, ek din bahaaaaaar ka de…
Meri veeraan aankhon ko koi khwaab pyaar ka de…
Uske badle meri saari zindagiiii le le…
Bas ek din mere hisse ki khushi mujhe de de…

Ek din bahaaaaaar ka udhaaaaaar de de…
Phir meri har saans ka qarz utaaar le le…
Main umr bhar ke gham tere naam kar doongaaaa…
Bas ek din muskuraane ka inaam de deeeee…

Long alaap — Piano, guitar and strings

Bahaaaaaar… aaahhh…
Mere hisse ki bahaaaaaar…
Kab aayegiiiiii…

Verse 3 — Soft, intimate delivery

Jab dil bhar jaaye toh chupke se aansu bahaana…
Apne hi dard ko apni nazron se chhupaana…
Raaton ki khamoshi mein khud se baatein karna…
Apni tooti umeedon ko seene mein rakhna…

Ye chup-chup ke aahein, ye aankhon ke ashk…
Ye dil pe lage zakhm, ye yaadon ki tapish…
Meri aankhon mein thehre hue paani ki tarah…
Meri har khamoshi hai ek adhuri dua…

Koi dekhe toh samjhe ke main theek hoon yahaan…
Kaun padhta hai chehre ke peeche ka dhuan…
Main bataaun bhi toh aakhir kise apna malaal…
Meri apni hi sadaa laut ke poochhe mera haal…

[Instrumental — Melancholic acoustic guitar solo, soft piano]

Verse 4 — Vocal slowly builds

Kabhi khwaabon ke aangan mein bhi jugnu toh jalein…
Meri sookhi hui aankhon mein kuch aansu khushi ke dhalein…
Koi lamha toh aaye jo mera apna lage…
Koi chehra toh ho jisko mera hona achha lage…

Main bhi chaahoon ke ek shaam sukoon se guzre…
Mere dil ke dar-o-deewaar pe umeed utare…
Koi keh de ke abhi khatm nahin teri kahaani…
Abhi baaqi hai tere naam ki ek subah suhaani…

Ae khudaaa… agar sunta hai meri sadaa…
Mujhe gham se nahin, thodi khushi se bhi milaa…
Meri qismat ke safhe pe zaraa rang bhar de…
Meri aankhon ko bhi jeene ka hunar de…

[Climax — Powerful strings, long sustained notes]

Ae gham-e-zindagiiii, ab toh bataa de mujhe…
Kya kabhi mil sakega mera khoya hua sukoon mujhe…
Main thak gaya hoon har roz khud ko manaate hue…
Apne hi aansuon ko palkon mein chhupaate hue…

Ek din bahaaaaaar ka udhaaaaaar de de…
Meri veeraan zindagi ko gulzaaar kar de…
Uske badle meri saari zindagiiii le le…
Bas woh ek din, woh ek din mujhe de de…

Bahaaaaaar… bahaaaaaar…
Mere hisse mein bhi bahaaaaaar…

Final Chorus — Highest emotional point

Ae gham-e-zindagiiii, ek din bahaaaaaar ka de…
Mere dil ko bhi jeene ka koi aitbaar de…
Uske badle meri saari zindagiiii le le…
Bas ek din mere hisse ki khushi mujhe de de…

Ek din bahaaaaaar ka udhaaaaaar de de…
Phir meri har saans ka qarz utaaar le le…
Meri aankhon mein ek khwaab sajaa de…
Mere veeraan jahaan ko zaraa muskuraane de…

[Outro — Piano and guitar fade, almost whispered]

Khushi kya haiiiii…
Mujhe pataa hi nahiiii…

Ae gham-e-zindagiiii…
Kya kabhi bahaaaaaar aayegiiii…

Bahaaaaaar…
Mere hisse ki bahaaaaaar…

Aaaaaah… zindagiiiiii…

[Long fading alaap — Solo piano, final soft guitar notes, silence]
