man ki bat jab hotho pe aane ko ho
aur ji koi geet gane ko ho
kya ho man aise me jo kah de
abhi nahi abhi nahi fir kabhi
man ki bat jab hotho pe aane ko ho

aisa sayam bhi sath jo sapno ke bhi paw rok de
aaye koi pathik do naino ke
dware hi tok de lal sa jo kuch
lal sa jo kuch khone pane ko ho
tinke chun chun ke ghar banane ko ho
kya ho man aise me jo kah de
abhi nahi abhi nahi fir kabhi
man ki bat jab hotho pe aane ko ho

bandhano se pare andekhe bandhan
prem preet ke jinpe bandhke haridya
kabhi parshan karega har jeet ke
jab koi khushi jab koi khushi paas aane ko ho
koi apna sab kuch lutane ko ho
kya ho man aise me jo kah de
abhi nahi abhi nahi fir kabhi
man ki bat jab hotho pe aane ko ho

When the heart's whisper seeks the lip,
And the soul yearns to sing a song,
What if the heart itself should say,
Not now, not now, some other day?
When the heart's whisper seeks the lip.

When time itself would halt the dream's ascent,
And a traveler knocks upon the eyes' door,
Red as the loss, red as the gain,
Striving to build a home of straw,
What if the heart itself should say,
Not now, not now, some other day?
When the heart's whisper seeks the lip.

Beyond all bonds, unseen are these,
Where love and longing bind the heart,
To test the victory and defeat,
When joy draws near, when happiness arrives,
And one’s own gives all away,
What if the heart itself should say,
Not now, not now, some other day?
When the heart's whisper seeks the lip.
