ek baar muskuraa do -4
hotho ki ek azaa se
hotho ki ek azaa se sau bijaliyaan giraa do
ek baar ek baar
ek baar muskuraa do

is dil kaa haal sun ke meraa sawaal sun ke -2
aanchal sambhaal ke tum sharmaa ke sar jhukaa do
ek baar ek baar
ek baar muskuraa do

haan naa ke bich me hun kyaa samajhun kyaa na samajhun -2
jo kah sako na munh se adaaz se bataa do -2

ye nanhi nanhi kaliyaan -2
ye phul aur ye kyaari
halki si ek hansi ki sabako hai itazaari
ghunghat hataa ke haan
ghunghat hataa ke inakaa aramaan bhi mitaa do
ek baar muskuraa do -2

Once, just once, bestow a smile,
From the lips, a fleeting style.
With a tender, whispered grace,
Unleash a hundred lightning's trace,
Once, just once,
Just once, bestow a smile.

Hearing the heart's lament, my plea,
As you gather your veil carefully,
With a blush, your head you bow,
Once, just once, right here and now,
Just once, bestow a smile.

Caught between a yes and no,
What to grasp, and what to let go?
If words are lost, a gentle art,
Tell me with your knowing heart,
Your meaning, softly impart.

These tender buds, so newly born,
The blooms that grace the summer morn,
The garden waits, in silent plea,
For a touch of levity,
A single laugh, wild and free.
Lift your veil, let it descend,
And the longings of all, transcend,
Once, just once, bestow a smile.
