(Slow Spiritual Intro — Tanpura drone, harmonium alaap, sparse tabla brushes, cinematic reverb)
Bismillah — har rang-e-ishq mein rooh ka ujala
Tanpura ki lehron pe, khushboo si mehfil mein chala
Harmonium ki raag se, saanson mein dua basi
Aasmaan se judta har lamha, noor-e-rah ka nishan si

(Verse 1 — Emotional imagery, harmonium motifs, tabla steady)
Lead: Kabhi to raat ke taare, teri mehfil mein roshan ho jaayen
Sannaton mein tera zikr, dil ki lakeeron pe noor ban jaayen

Jaan-e-mohabbat ki rehnuma, tere naam se hi roshan sari

(Emotional Peak — semi-tone lift, fuller tabla, timpani-like low strokes, vocal sargam/alaap)
Lead (ornamented): Aansoo tere husn ke, moti ban kar girte hain
Dil ke sunehre dhaage, teri rehmat se sajte hain
Har saans mein hai tera zikr, mehfil mein sitaron ke taar
Ishq ke darya mein dooba, mera dil tera pehchaan pyaar
(Bridge — short devotional, softer instrumentation for contrast)
Lead (soft): Maula mere, rehmat ki boondein baant de
Group (whisper echo): Rehmat...
Lead: Tere noor mein sab doob jaayein, har andhera door ho jaaye

(Soft Devotional Ending — strip back to tanpura + soft harmonium pad, long reverb on lead vocal)
Lead (gentle alaap): Allah hu, Allah hu — naam tera sajda hai
Roz yeh dil pukare, tere noor se zindagi ujala hai
Har dam tere naam pe, mere saath hai roshni
Rang-e-ishq mein doob kar, main jeeta hoon aaj bhi
(Outro — whispered group, tabla soft rolls fade, harmonium and tanpura sustain then resolve)
Group (soft, fading): Ya Ali... Ya Ali... Noor... Noor...
(Last hit: single harmonium chord with long cinematic reverb)
