tham ja jindgi tham ja, tham ja jindgi tham ja
yehi lamha hai manjil meri
tham ja jindgi tham ja, tham ja jindgi tham ja
yehi lamha hai manjil meri
tham ja jindgi tham ja ho o tham ja

sanso kee garmi me honto kee narmi me
milne kee aas me chahat kee pyas me
aarju si ek machali hai
machali huyi ik aarju, aarju me thehra ek lamha
yahi lamha hai manjil meri, tham ja jindgi tham ja
tham ja jindgi tham ja
yehi lamha hai manjil meri, tham ja ho o o o tham ja

baadal intzar ke aakhir baras gaye
fasalo ke pathar bhi ret se bikhar gaye
bundo se pighali hai duriya
pighali huyi yeh duriya, duriyo me thehra ik lamha
yahi lamha hai manjil meri, tham ja jindgi tham ja
tham ja jindgi tham ja
yehi lamha hai manjil meri, tham ja ho o o tham ja, ho tham ja

Halt, life, halt, and linger now,
Halt, life, halt, and linger now,
This moment, my destined bow.
Halt, life, halt, oh, halt now.

In breath's warm dance, in lips' soft grace,
In meeting's hope, in love's embrace,
A yearning stirs, a whispered plea,
A yearning's heart, a moment free,
This moment, my destined decree,
Halt, life, halt, and linger now,
Halt, life, halt, and linger now,
This moment, my destined bow,
Halt, life, oh, oh, halt now.

The clouds of wait, at last, release,
The stones of space, to sand decrease,
The drops descend, and melt the miles,
Melted space, a moment smiles,
This moment, my destined bow,
Halt, life, halt, and linger now,
Halt, life, halt, and linger now,
This moment, my destined bow,
Halt, life, oh, oh, halt now.
