[Intro - instrumental 8 bars: soft pad + nylon guitar] (hummed melody, no words)
[Verse 1 - soft, intimate - sing legato, small breaths "/" indicate inhale] Chhupke chhupke / dil tera le aayenge Raaton ki khamoshi / tera naam gaayenge (hold last "aayenge" 1.2s, small breath)
[Chorus - full - layered; lead strong, backing harmonies ooh-aaah] Chhupke chhupke dil tera le aayenge — (hold "aayenge" 1.5s) Khamoshi mein tere naam likh ke rakh aayenge — (short vibrato last syllable) Dheere se paas tere aa kar kah denge; Door jaake phir kabhi naa jaayenge. (Instrumental stinger: 2 bars, light tabla + guitar)
[Instrumental Break - 16 bars: flute solo then synth swell] (use this to add emotional swell)
[Verse 2 - softer, whispery at start] Teri muskaan mein / mera ghar hai Sapno ke is shehar mein / tera hi asar hai (leave 0.6s before pre-chorus)
[Pre-Chorus] (same as before, increase harmony)
[Chorus x2 — second time add ad-libs on final repeat] Chhupke chhupke... (lead improvises small runs 4 notes) (After final "jaaayenge" — pause 0.8s)
[Bridge - spoken-sung, intimate] Na poochho kyun / bas yun hi paas aana (keep voice very close-mic, half-sung half-spoken)
[Final Chorus - big, layered, full production] Chhupke chhupke dil tera le aayenge (repeat twice) (Last line: decrescendo; hold final vowel 2s then fade with pad)
