[Intro - Instrumental alap with sarangi and tanpura] Aa… aa… aa… [Verse 1] Mehfil mein baitha tha, khamoshi saath liye Haathon ki lakeeron ko dheere se padh liye Naam tera aaya toh saans ruk si gayi Jaise kisi ne dil par dastak rakh di [Pre-Chorus] Raat gehri hoti gayi, baat adhuri reh gayi Aankhon mein ek sawal tha, zubaan pe na aa saki [Chorus] Dil ko kya samjhaun main, tu hi toh zaroori tha Har ek khushi ke baad tera gham hi zaroori tha Mehfil bhi sooni lage, jab tu nazar na aaye Is dil ke darbaar mein bas tera hi noor tha [Instrumental Break - Sarangi phrase] [Verse 2] Sheeshe ke jaise the, vaade jo toot gaye Haathon se phisle kyun, lamhe jo chhoot gaye Ek pal ki khushi mein sau dard chhup gaye Hum muskura bhi na sake, aansu hi ruk gaye [Pre-Chorus] Raat phir se poochhti, kyun dil udaas hai Naam tera likh diya, phir bhi pyaas hai [Chorus] Dil ko kya samjhaun main, tu hi toh zaroori tha Har ek khushi ke baad tera gham hi zaroori tha Mehfil bhi sooni lage, jab tu nazar na aaye Is dil ke darbaar mein bas tera hi noor tha [Bridge - Slow, expressive] Awaaz teri jaise door kahin se aaye Jaise purani yaadon ka dariya beh jaaye Main rok na paaya khud ko us mod par Jahan se tu laut ke kabhi na aaye [Chorus] Dil ko kya samjhaun main, tu hi toh zaroori tha Har ek khushi ke baad tera gham hi zaroori tha Mehfil bhi sooni lage, jab tu nazar na aaye Is dil ke darbaar mein bas tera hi noor tha [Outro - Fade Out with alaap] Aa… aa… dil ke darbaar mein… Aa… tera hi noor tha…
