ik pal mila kabhi khushnuma, ik pal mila kabhi gumzada
ik pal rahin kabhi khairyat, ik pal hua kabhi hadsa
mausam kuch anjane aise mile yahan
dil ko jo de gaye khamoshiyan
mausam kuch pehchane de gaye sargoshiyan
yun hi ratein dhalti hain yun hi hoti subah
rehmat zara kar de khuda
rehmat zara hum par tu kar de khuda

ik pal mila kabhi khushnuma, ik pal mila kabhi gumzada
ik pal rahin kabhi khairyat, ik pal hua kabhi hadsa

umre katati rehti hain, dhup kabhi barish mein
gum ki rut bhi ati hain, khushiyon ki khwaish mein
aksar lamhe katate hain, chahat ya ranjish mein
har dum kaliyan khilti hain, katon ki bandish mein
ik pal kabhi sukun hai, ik pal kabhi hai bekali
ik pal kabhi junoon hai, ik pal kabhi hai bebasi

ye hi azal se hota raha hai, yun hi jiya har ik insa
rehmat zara kar de khuda
rehmat zara hum par tu kar de khuda

mausam kuch anjane aise mile yahan
dil ko jo de gaye khamoshiyan
mausam kuch pehchane de gaye sargoshiyan
yun hi ratein dhalti hain, yun hi hoti subah
rehmat zara kar de khuda
rehmat zara hum par tu kar de khuda

A moment, touched with radiant grace, a moment steeped in sorrow's trace,
A moment blessed with gentle ease, a moment where disaster bleeds.
Seasons unknown, they whisper low,
Leaving silence where the heart would grow,
Seasons familiar, secrets they impart,
Whispering echoes within the heart.
Thus nights descend, the mornings rise,
Have mercy, Lord, on tear-filled eyes.
Have mercy, Lord, on all we bear,
A moment, joy, a moment, care,
A moment blessed, a moment's fall.

Life unfolds, a sun, then rain,
A shadowed grief, a joyful gain,
Moments lost in longing's hold,
In cherished wants, in stories told,
Each breath, a flower bloom so bright,
While thorns surround in shadowed plight.
A moment's peace, a restless plea,
A moment's fire, a helpless decree,
This cycle spins, since time began,
Such is the life of mortal man.
Have mercy, Lord, on all we pray,
Have mercy, Lord, this very day.

Seasons unknown, they whisper low,
Leaving silence where the heart would grow,
Seasons familiar, secrets they impart,
Whispering echoes within the heart.
Thus nights descend, the mornings rise,
Have mercy, Lord, on tear-filled eyes.
Have mercy, Lord, on all we bear.
