thahro zara ek pal
thahro zara ek pal
ji bhar ke main dekh lu
shayad na mil paye kal
shayad na mil paye kal
ji bhar ke main dekh lu
thahro zara

ye balo me lipta chameli ka gazra
ye manthe ki bindiya ye aankho ka kajra
ye kano jhumke ye julfo ka pahra
ye gaalo ki lali ye khoya sa chahra
khoya sa chahra
thahro zara ek pal
thahro zara

ye madmati baahe ye komal kalai
ye mehndi ki rangat hatheli pe chaai
in hotho ki masti jo khilne na paai
main kis dil se mangunga inse vidaai
inse vidaai
thahro zara ek pal
thahro zara

ye ujla bana bandha roop jisme
hirakte badan ka kiya loch bas me
mohbbat ki yaado ka har raaz isme
nibhani hai ab mujko yaado ki rashme
yaado ki rashme
thahro zara ek pal
ji bhar ke main dekh lu
thahro zara

Just a moment, linger near,
Just a moment, let me see,
Before tomorrow disappears,
Before tomorrow sets us free.
Let me drink you in, my dear,
Just a moment, wait for me.

This jasmine garland in your hair,
The bindi's gleam, a mystic prayer,
The kohl that frames your eyes with care,
The earrings' dance, beyond compare,
The tresses that your beauty snare,
Your blushing cheeks, a visage rare,
A lost and dreamy face I share.
Just a moment, linger near,
Just a moment, wait for me.

Your arms that sway, so soft and light,
Your gentle wrists, a pure delight,
The henna blooms, a vibrant sight,
Upon your hands, both day and night,
The laughter held, that takes its flight,
How can I bid you my good night?
How can I take my leave, my light?
Just a moment, linger near,
Just a moment, wait for me.

This radiant form, a sacred dress,
That holds your grace, your tenderness,
Your body's curves, a sweet caress,
The secrets love will always bless.
In memories, I now possess,
I must fulfill love's sacred quest,
Love's ancient rites, I must confess.
Just a moment, linger near,
Let me drink you in, my dear,
Just a moment, wait for me.
