[Verse 1] (Em C G D)
Ghar jaane par darwaze pe
Raah takti baithti thi
Dadi meri puchhti thi,
"Aa gayi shehar se?"
Shaam ko jab main dadi ke paas
Bethi, shehron ka haal sunaya karti thi
Hansi mein teri chhoti si fikr
Aur tera dupatta kursi pe sajaa karti thi
[Pre-Chorus] (C G D Em)
Maine kaha, "Bas kuch din aur, aa jaungi"
Woh bolti, "Kya rakha hai shehar mein?"
"Ab gaav bhi aa jaa, kab tak akeli rahogi wahaan?"
Uski awaaz mein darr aur pyaar dono the
[Chorus] (G D Em C)
Darwaze pe ab bhi koi tera intezaar karta hai
Har aawaaz mein tera naam hi pukarta hai
Jahan se tu hans ke awaaze lagati thi
Ab vo kona khali sa, teri khamoshi pukarta hai
[Verse 2] (Em C G D)
Katori mein chai ki woh purani khushboo
Tere haathon ka haala, raaton ka chhota sa nasha
Tu kehti thi, "Paise se zyada, ghar ki baatein yaad rakhna"
Main hans kar keh deti, "Bas jaldi aaungi, dadi"
Par aaj wahi kehne wala koi nahin hai
Sochti hoon, ghar jaungi to kaun poochega, "Kab aayi?"
Vo darwaze pe baithne wali ungli ab kisko dikhaye gi?
Jahan se tu pukarti thi, vo jagah khali si lagti hai
[Pre-Chorus] (C G D Em)
Vo awaazein jo kabhi mere naam se pukarti thi
Kahan kho gayin? Dil ab unhein dhoondhta rehta hai
[Chorus] (G D Em C)
Darwaze pe ab bhi koi tera intezaar karta hai
Har aawaaz mein tera naam hi pukarta hai
Jahan se tu hans ke awaaze lagati thi
Ab vo kona khali sa, teri khamoshi pukarta hai
[Bridge] (Am Em C G)
Har kone mein teri yaadein basi hain — chai ki sittele ki seeti,
Dupatta kursi par parda jaise tera asar chhod gaya
(Spoken — Dadi, warm & rough): "Kya rakha hai shehar mein? Main mar jaungi tab aayengi kya?"
(Short pause; lead vocal returns, softer)
Us ek seeti ne, us ek dupatte ne mujhko phir se jagaya
Main samjhi — ghar ka har awaaz mera naam pukarta hai
[Chorus — Final] (G D Em C)
Darwaze pe ab bhi koi tera intezaar karta hai
Har aawaaz mein tera naam hi pukarta hai
Jahan se tu hans ke awaaze lagati thi
Ab vo kona khali sa, par teri yaad awaaz ban kar pukarta hai
[Outro] (Em C G D)
(Soft harmonies, cello pad, distant chimes)
Darwaze pe tera intezaar — mera dil ussi raah dekhega
Teri khamoshi mein ab bhi tera naam main sunungi
