[Intro — whispered male vocal, piano, sarangi] Alvida… Bas nazron ki judaai hai… Rooh se rooh mil jaaye— Phir kaisi judaai hai? [Chorus — tabla enters, passionate melody] Jism bichhar bhi jaayein, Rooh juda hoti nahin! Tu jo dil mein bas gaya— Teri rukhsat hoti nahin! [Lead] Tu meri rooh ka ghar hai… [Choir] Tu yahin hai! Tu yahin hai! [Verse — flowing vocals, warm strings] Tere jaane pe laga tha, Har ujaala kho gaya, Raat chup si ho gayi thi, Chaand tanha ho gaya. Phir teri yaadon ne aakar Dil se mere yeh kaha— Jo mohabbat mein basa ho, Woh bichhar kar kab gaya? [Build — rising harmonium, rhythmic claps] Aankh dekhe faasle, Dil tera ehsaas hai, Tu nazar aaye na aaye— Rooh ke toh paas hai! [Lead — rising] Rooh se jab rooh mili— [Choir] Mit gayi har doori! Mit gayi har doori! [Qawwali Drop — explosive dholak, call and response] [Lead] Aankh se ojhal— [Choir] Dil mein samaaya! [Lead] Jab bhi pukaara— [Choir] Paas tujhe paaya! [Lead] Jism bichharte— [Choir] Rooh nahin! [Lead] Ishq mein koi— [Choir] Door nahin! [Lead] Umr dhal jaaye— [Choir] Ishq rahe! [Lead] Saans tham jaaye— [Choir] Ishq rahe! [Lead — soaring alaap] Meri rooh ne jisko Apna keh diya— [Choir] Woh juda kab hua? Woh juda kab hua? [Final Chorus — full band, soaring choir] Jism bichhar bhi jaayein, Rooh juda hoti nahin! Tu jo dil mein bas gaya— Teri rukhsat hoti nahin! Na alvida! Na alvida! Tu meri rooh mein basa— Kaisi judaai, kaisi alvida! [Outro — single piano note] [Male whisper] Jise rooh ne chaaha… Woh kabhi door nahin hota… [Distant whisper] Kabhi alvida nahin…
