ek bar ek bar nigahe milti hai
ek bar mohabbat hoti hai
hoti hai ek bar ek bar ummido ki rani
phulo ki sej pe soti hai soti hai ek bar

ek baar shola uthta hai
ek bar ye jadu chalta hai
ek baar shola uthta hai
ek bar ye jadu chalta hai
ek baar sauda hota hai
ek baar paudha falta hai ek bar
ek bar nigahe milti hai
ek bar mohabbat hoti hai hoti hai ek bar

kitna bhi ghul mil jaye koi
begane hai phir begane
kitna bhi ghul mil jaye koi
begane hai phir begane
is bhed ko dunia kya samjhe
is raaz ko dunia kya jane ek bar
ek bar nigahe milti hai
ek bar mohabbat hoti hai
hoti hai ek bar ek bar ummido ki rani
phulo ki sej pe soti hai soti hai ek bar

Once, just once, eyes meet in a gaze,
Once, just once, love ignites its blaze.
Once, just once, hope’s queen takes flight,
On a bed of blooms, she sleeps through the night.

Once, a flame leaps into the air,
Once, this magic casts its snare.
Once, a flame leaps from the ground,
Once, this magic spins around.
Once, a bargain is struck and made,
Once, a sapling grows in the glade.
Once, just once, eyes meet in a gaze,
Once, just once, love ignites its blaze.

No matter how deeply one may blend,
Strangers remain, until the end.
No matter how deeply one may blend,
Strangers remain, beyond amend.
What can this crowd ever comprehend?
This secret's truth, what can they extend?
Once, just once, eyes meet in a gaze,
Once, just once, love ignites its blaze.
Once, just once, hope’s queen takes flight,
On a bed of blooms, she sleeps through the night.
