Kisne kaha… Ke baal safed ho jaayein toh khwaab bhi safed ho jaate hain? [pause] Saaath Baras… khaatma nahin hota… Kabhi kabhi… Yahin se insaan khud ko pehchanna shuru karta hai. [harmonium breathes] ⸻ [OPENING ALAAP] Hooooooo… Ya Maulaaaa… Hooooooo… Abhi dil mein tera noor baqi hai… Abhi safar baqi hai… ⸻ [VERSE 1 — LIFE HAS NOT ENDED] Umr ke patte rang badlein, Ped magar zinda rehta hai, Shaam agar dhal bhi jaaye, Aasmaan roshan rehta hai. Chehre par kuch lakeerein hain, Har lakeer ek kahaani hai, Jo kuch duniya se seekha humne, Woh bhi teri meherbaani hai. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] Na kal ka gham, Na kal ka darr, Jo saans mili… Woh tera karam. Jab tak seene mein dil dhadke… Tera zikr baqi hai! ⸻ [CHORUS — MAIN HOOK] Abhi safar baqi hai! Abhi safar baqi hai! Dil mein Maula ka naam hai toh Abhi asar baqi hai! Abhi safar baqi hai! Abhi safar baqi hai! Umr dhali toh kya hua— Dil mein Khuda baqi hai! [Chorus] Dil mein Khuda baqi hai! Dil mein Khuda baqi hai! ⸻ [VERSE 2 — THE REAL WEALTH] Duniya bhar ki daulat dekhi, Aakhir sab reh jaati hai, Jo daulat dil mein noor jagaye, Woh hi saath mein jaati hai. Apne haathon se dete rehna, Apnon par barsaana pyaar, Lekin apni khud-dari ko Kabhi na karna tum bazaar. Sar jhukta ho sirf Khuda ke aage, Yeh andaaz zaroori hai, Mohabbat sabse karna lekin Khud-dari bhi zaroori hai. ⸻ [QAWWALI RESPONSE] Lead: Kiske aage sar ko jhukayein? Chorus: MAULA KE AAGE! Lead: Dil ka rishta kis se lagayein? Chorus: MAULA SE LAGAYEIN! Lead: Duniya chhoote, kaun rahega? Chorus: ALLAH RAHEGA! Lead: Sab kuch chhoote, kaun rahega? Chorus: ALLAH RAHEGA! ⸻ [VERSE 3 — THE BEAUTY OF AGE] Jawaani ek mausam thi, Woh mausam bhi guzar gaya, Lekin ishq ka dariya dekho, Aur bhi gehra utar gaya. Pehle duniya maangte the, Ab bas tera deedar maangein, Pehle sau armaan the Maula, Ab bas tera pyaar maangein. Kal tak khud ko dhoond rahe the Duniya ke bazaaron mein, Aaj tera hi naam mila hai Dil ke khaali taaron mein. ⸻ [BRIDGE — INTIMATE] [music falls almost silent] Male Lead: Saath baras… Sattar baras… Assi baras… Yeh sirf ginti hai. Rooh ki koi umr nahin hoti. [pause] Jis din banda apne Rab ko pehchaan le… Us din… Zindagi nayi ho jaati hai. ⸻ [ALAAP] Aaaaaah… Maulaaaa… Tere dar pe umr kya… Tere ishq mein waqt kya… Hooooooo… ⸻ [QAWWALI BUILD] [tabla intensifies] [dholak enters] [hand claps] Lead: Jab dil mein tera naam rahe— Chorus: TOH UMR KA KYA KAAM RAHE! Lead: Jab Maula apne saath rahe— Chorus: TOH KIS BAAT KA GHAM RAHE! Lead: Jab dil tera ghar ban jaaye— Chorus: TOH HAR DIN NAYA PAIGHAM RAHE! ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS — MASSIVE] Abhi safar baqi hai! Abhi safar baqi hai! Dil mein Maula ka naam hai toh Abhi asar baqi hai! Abhi safar baqi hai! Abhi safar baqi hai! Saans chale toh shukar karo— Abhi zikr baqi hai! Abhi ishq baqi hai! Abhi noor baqi hai! Umr dhali toh kya hua— DIL MEIN KHUDA BAQI HAI! ⸻ [ECSTATIC FINALE] [full qawwali ensemble] Lead + Chorus: Dil mein Khuda baqi hai! Dil mein Khuda baqi hai! Saans mein zikr baqi hai! Rooh mein ishq baqi hai! Abhi safar baqi hai! Haqq! Abhi safar baqi hai! Haqq! Abhi safar baqi hai! Haqq! DIL MEIN KHUDA BAQI HAI! ⸻ [OUTRO] [instruments gradually fall away] [sarangi + harmonium] Male Lead — whisper: Umr ko mat gino… Uski di hui saanson ko gino… Aur har saans par keh do… Shukar Alhamdulillah. [distant chorus] Alhamdulillah… Alhamdulillah… Abhi safar… Baqi hai…
