इनको ज़रा देके हवा बन जाउँ मैं अगन
चिंगारियाँ ये जो मेरे सीने में है दफ़न
इनको ज़रा देके हवा बन जाउँ मैं अगन
दहक रहा है बनके शरारा देख मेरा बदन
सब कुछ मेरा करके फ़ना करता हूँ मैं हवन
नमहो नमः ओम
ओम देवा देवा ओम देवा देवा नमः
नमहो नमः ओम
महसूस खुद को मैने किया जब तू ने छुआ
ओम देवा देवा ओम देवा देवा नमः
नमहो नमः ओम
इश्क़ हमारा नही ये फितूर है
रिश्ता पुराना कोई तो ज़रूर है
आके मिले हैं उसी के तो वास्ते
ये रास्ते, ये रास्ते
तू है हवाओं का झोंका मैं आग हूँ
तू रागदारी है मेरी मैं राग हूँ
मैं जी रहा हूँ तेरे इंतेज़ार में
आवाज़ दे, आवाज़ दे
तेरी सराये ढूँढ रहा था
मेरा बंजारा मन
सब सच मेरा करके फ़ना
करता हूँ मैं हवन
ओम देवा देवा ओम देवा देवा नमः
नमहो नमः ओम
ओम देवा देवा ओम देवा देवा नमः
नमहो नमः ओम
महसूस खुद को मैने किया जब तू ने छुआ
ओम देवा देवा ओम देवा देवा नमः
नमहो नमः ओम

चिंगारियाँ ये जो मेरे सीने में है दफ़न
The sparks that are buried in my chest
इनको ज़रा देके हवा बन जाउँ मैं अगन
I can become a fire by blowing some air into them
दहक रहा है बनके शरारा देख मेरा बदन
My body is burning and glowing like embers

There is surely some connection from the past
आके मिले हैं उसी के तो वास्ते
We have met for the sake of that connection

महसूस खुद को मैने किया जब तू ने छुआ
I felt myself when you touched me
ओम देवा देवा ओम देवा देवा नमः
