o mere shaah-e-khubaan, o meri jaan-e-janaana 

tum mere paas hote ho, koi doosra nahi hota 

tum mere paas hote ho, koi doosra nahi hota 

o mere shaah-e-khubaan, o meri jaan-e-janaana 

tum mere paas hote ho, koi doosra nahi hota 

<shah-e-khubaan: Beautiful King/Queen>

kab khayaalon ki dhoop dhalti hai 

har kadam pe shamaa si jalti hai 

mera saaya jidhar bhi jaata hai 

teri tasveer saath chalti hai 

o mere shaah-e-khubaan, o meri jaan-e-janaana 

tum mere paas hote ho, koi doosra nahi hota 

tum mere paas hote ho, koi doosra nahi hota 

<shamaa- Lamp,Candle>

tum ho sehra mein, tum gulistaan mein 

tum ho zarron mein, tum bhi aaba mein 

maine tum ko kahaan kahaan dekha 

chhup ke rehte ho tum rag-e-jaan mein 

o mere shaah-e-khubaan, o meri jaan-e-janaana 

tum mere paas hote ho, koi doosra nahi hota 

tum mere paas hote ho, koi doosra nahi hota 

<sehra -desert; gulistan-garden ;

zarron- particles,granules ;aaba-Light

rag-e-jaan- veins of life >

meri aankhon ki justaju tum ho 

iltaza tum ho aarzu tum ho 

main kisi aur ko to kya jaanu 

meri ulfat ki aabaru tum ho 

o mere shaah-e-khubaan, o meri jaan-e-janaana 

tum mere paas hote ho, koi doosra nahi hota 

tum mere paas hote ho, koi doosra nahi hota 

<justaju-search,quest

iltaza-request; aarzu-wish

ulfat-love; aabru-honour,respect>
