'Pauna 6' (Urdu, for 'quarter-to-6') does not refer to time by the clock; but to the time signature/rhythmic cycle count of this song.
With an eclectic overlap of musical instruments, 'Pauna 6' is lyrically comprised of the 'Tarana' form of song ('Taum ta na na' being the syllables of Tarana), and an English poetry verse as spoken word, in the Dhamaal outro.

The symbolic translation of the song lyrics for 'Pauna 6', and its music video, conceptually speak about a mystical quest followed by liberation: a battle with the self, between the material and the spiritual selves within one person: concluding in a beautiful integratiomn of these.
