rahne ko ek ghar hoga khane ko halwa hoga
bistar kapde pankha sab hoga
rahne ko ek ghar hoga khane ko halwa hoga
bistar kapde pankha sab hoga

hath mere fir maile na honge
jeb me cham cham paise jab honge honge
maa ko bhi wapis hum lekar aayenge
rahne ko ek ghar hoga reshmi aachal me lipti lipti
chandani rato me simti simti saj dhaj kar tam tam par
cinema jayenge rahne ko ek ghar hoga

sare mohalle ki rani ban kar
chalungi sadko pe main to tan kar
ek hukum pe mere sab jhuk jayenge
rahne ko ek ghar hoga khane ko halwa hoga

A house of haven, a sweet of solace,
A silken sheet, a gentle fan's embrace.
A house of haven, a sweet of solace,
A silken sheet, a gentle fan's embrace.

My hands shall know no stain, no grime,
When jingling coins fill pockets' time.
My mother's form, I'll bring her near,
A house of haven, banishing all fear.
Wrapped in silk, her presence bright,
Shrunken, in moon-kissed, silent night.
Adorned we'll go, a shimmering gleam,
To cinema's dream, a house of dream.

Queen of the lane, I'll walk with pride,
My head held high, my spirit wide.
At my command, all knees shall bend,
A house of haven, a sweet to send.
