ek pal dhoop hai, ek pal hai dhuan
ek pal mein hawa, ek pal ka jahaan
ek pal saans hai, ek pal hai jalan
ek pal mein laga, chaar pal ka jatan
zara zara muththi khuli, muththi khuli
zara zara zara zara zara
aankhein dhuli, aankhein dhuli, zara

duniya ko sapna, kehta hai ye
saanson ko apna, kehta hai ye
sheharo ke jungle ko bhool ke
khud mein hi chhup ke rehta hai ye

ek pal yaad hai, ek pal hai safar
ek pal mein khatam, saans ka ye safar
ek pal neend hai, ek pal hai bharam
ek pal kar gaya, chahato ko naram
zara zara muththi khuli, muththi khuli
zara zara zara zara zara
aankhein dhuli, aankhein dhuli, zara

duniya ko sapna, kehta hai ye
saanson ko apna, kehta hai ye
sheharo ke jungle ko bhool ke
khud mein hi chhup ke rehta hai ye

wo pal kahan se laye
wo pal kahan se aaye khyalo me
sab jisme bhul jaye
wo pal kahan se
makdi ke jaalo ne jisko basaya hai

khoya hai, khoya hai, khoya hai jo
khoya hai, khoya hai, khoya hai jo

duniya ko sapna, kehta hai ye
saanson ko apna, kehta hai ye
sheharo ke jungle ko bhool ke
khud mein hi chhup ke rehta hai ye

A sunbeam’s dance, a wisp of smoke,
A breath of air, a world invoked.
A moment breathes, a burning sting,
Four efforts spent, in one brief swing.
Slowly, slowly, the fist uncurls,
Slowly, slowly, the world unfurls,
Eyes now open, eyes now wide,
The world a dream, it softly sighed.
To breaths it clings, a lover true,
Forgetting jungles, cities through,
Within itself, it finds its keep,
In shadows deep, where secrets sleep.

A memory's gleam, a journey's thread,
A breath that ends, the living fled.
A moment's sleep, a hazy haze,
Desires softened, in a daze.
Slowly, slowly, the fist uncurls,
Slowly, slowly, the world unfurls,
Eyes now open, eyes now wide,
The world a dream, it softly sighed.
To breaths it clings, a lover true,
Forgetting jungles, cities through,
Within itself, it finds its keep,
In shadows deep, where secrets sleep.

Where can that moment reside?
Where can it drift in thought’s tide?
Where all is lost, and shadows loom,
Where spider webs weave a silent room?
Lost it is, lost it is, gone from sight,
Lost it is, lost it is, in endless night.
The world a dream, it softly sighed.
To breaths it clings, a lover true,
Forgetting jungles, cities through,
Within itself, it finds its keep,
In shadows deep, where secrets sleep.
