nanhe paon chandani ik roz aayi mere ghar
khushiyo ke tinko se angan diya mera bhar
magar sochte hi aaj aankh bhar aayi
karni padegi teri ik din vidaai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai

teri chahal kadmi teri muskurahat
chedne manane hasane wali aadat
tere thahake se gam ka bhag jana
kadmo ki aahat me khushi ka aashiyana
aaj tu hamari kal hogi parayi
magar sochte hi aaj aankh bhar aayi
karni padegi teri ik din vidaai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai

teri surat se din ka shubh mahurat
har bala se ladne ki aati mujhme himmat
tujhe dekhne se mujhe tazgi jo milti hai
phulo si shabnam pe sath sath rahti hai
lagti hai zindagi umido me nahayi
magar sochte hi aaj aankh bhar aayi
karni padegi teri ik din vidaai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai

rishte nate sare jazbat hai tumhi se
aur bhala kya chahu mai zindagi se
hansi ki fuljhadi aur chutkule aur patake
har sham diwali jaise ham hai manate
ik sath itne sare tohfe tu layi
magar sochte hi aaj aankh bhar aayi
karni padegi teri ik din vidaai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai

jab bhi kabhi mujhko hoti hai hararat
malish ke jaise lagti teri shararat
koi bhi dard ho ho jaye koso dur
ajab sa mile sukh anokhi si rahat
teri ik chuan ban jaye dawai
magar sochte hi aaj aankh bhar aayi
karni padegi teri ik din vidaai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai
mere khuda kaisi rasm ye banai

A moonbeam's footstep, one day, graced my door,
Filled my courtyard with joys to the core.
But pondering this truth, my eyes now overflow,
That one day, your farewell, I'll have to know.
My God, what custom have you set in play?
My God, what custom have you set in play?

Your lively dance, your smiling grace,
Teasing and charming, laughter's embrace.
Your hearty guffaws, banishing all woe,
Footfalls heralding where happiness will grow.
Today, you're ours; tomorrow, you'll depart,
But pondering this truth, my eyes now break apart,
That one day, your farewell, I'll have to know.
My God, what custom have you set in play?
My God, what custom have you set in play?

From your face, the day finds its auspicious start,
Within me, courage to fight every dart.
The freshness that comes from gazing at you,
Like dewdrops on flowers, forever true.
Life seems bathed in hope, a vibrant dye,
But pondering this truth, my eyes now cry,
That one day, your farewell, I'll have to know.
My God, what custom have you set in play?
My God, what custom have you set in play?

All ties and bonds, every feeling, springs from you,
What else could I ask life to imbue?
A cascade of laughter, jokes that burst and gleam,
Each evening, like Diwali, a joyful dream.
So many gifts you've brought in one array,
But pondering this truth, my eyes now sway,
That one day, your farewell, I'll have to know.
My God, what custom have you set in play?
My God, what custom have you set in play?

When fever grips, and heat begins to soar,
Your mischief feels like a comforting pour.
Whatever the pain, it swiftly takes flight,
An odd comfort, relief, pure and bright.
Your single touch, a healing balm to apply,
But pondering this truth, my eyes now sigh,
That one day, your farewell, I'll have to know.
My God, what custom have you set in play?
My God, what custom have you set in play?
My God, what custom have you set in play?
My God, what custom have you set in play?
