एक बार तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
एक बार सिर्फ एक बार
एक बार तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
सौ जनम की प्यास तू मिटा दे
कब से कर रही हू इंतजार इंतजार
एक बार सिर्फ एक बार
एक बार तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
तेरे रात दीन जगमगाऊँगी
तेरा घर तेरी गलियां सजाऊंगी
तेरे रात दीन जगमगाऊँगी
तेरा घर तेरी गलियां सजाऊंगी
दीप अपने प्यार के जलाऊँगी
फूल रंग रूप के खिलाउंगी
देखो मुझपे करके ऐतबार
ऐतबार ऐतबार
एक बार सिर्फ एक बार
एक बार तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
प्यार कोई प्यार की कसम तो नहीं
बेखबर है हम बेवफा तो नहीं
प्यार कोई प्यार की कसम तो नहीं
बेखबर है हम बेवफा तो नहीं
तेरी बेरुखी भी यार
कुछ कम नहीं
उम्र भर जुदा रहे तो घम नहीं
काश एक रात
तो गुजार तो गुजार तो गुजार
एक बार सिर्फ एक बार
एक बार तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
आ आ आ
आ आ आ
आ आ आ
आ आ आ आ आ आ
तेरे साथ मैं मुस्कुराऊँगी
पास आके दूर चली जाउंगी
तेरे साथ मैं मुस्कुराऊँगी
पास आके दूर चली जाउंगी
फिर तुझे कभी नहीं सताऊँगी
इस ख़ुशी से मैं तो मर ही जाऊंगी
मेरे नाम ले के तू पुकार
तू पुकार तू पुकार
एक बार सिर्फ एक बार
एक बार तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
तू जो मुस्कुरा दे

सौ जनम की प्यास तू मिटा दे
Quench the thirst of a hundred births
कब से कर रही हू इंतजार इंतजार
How long have I been waiting
तू जो मुस्कुरा दे
Once you smile
तेरे रात दीन जगमगाऊँगी
I will light up your nights and days

I will decorate your home and your streets
दीप अपने प्यार के जलाऊँगी
I will light lamps of love

I will make flowers bloom in color and form

Trust, trust
प्यार कोई प्यार की कसम तो नहीं
Love is not a promise of love
बेखबर है हम बेवफा तो नहीं
We are not unaware, nor faithless
तेरी बेरुखी भी यार
Your coldness is also dear
कुछ कम नहीं
No less
उम्र भर जुदा रहे तो घम नहीं
If we remain separated for a lifetime, it's fine
काश एक रात
If only one night
तो गुजार तो गुजार तो गुजार
Then let it pass, let it pass, let it pass
आ आ आ
Come, come, come
आ आ आ आ आ आ
Come, come, come, come, come, come
तेरे साथ मैं मुस्कुराऊँगी
I will smile with you
पास आके दूर चली जाउंगी
I will come close and then go far
फिर तुझे कभी नहीं सताऊँगी
Then I will never torment you
इस ख़ुशी से मैं तो मर ही जाऊंगी
With this happiness I will die
मेरे नाम ले के तू पुकार
Call out my name
तू पुकार तू पुकार तू पुकार
Call out, call out, call out
