maana mere hasi sanam, tu rashqe maahtaab hai
par tu hai laajawab to, mera kahan jawab hai
maana mere hasi sanam, tu rashqe maahtaab hai
par tu hai laajawab to, mera kahan jawab hai
maana mere hasi sanam

hairat se yu na dekhiye, zarra hua to kya hua
hairat se yu na dekhiye, zarra hua to kya hua
zarra hua to kya hua
apni jagah pe janeman, zarra bhi aaftab hai
par tu hai laajawab to, mera kahan jawab hai
maana mere hasi sanam

tere shabab ka surur chhaya jo do jahan par
tere shabab ka surur chhaya jo do jahan par
chhaya jo do jahan par
meri nigaahe shauk se aaya ye inqalab hai
par tu hai laajawab to, mera kahan jawab hai
maana mere hasi sanam, tu rashqe maahtaab hai
par tu hai laajawab to, mera kahan jawab hai
maana mere hasi sanam

My beautiful beloved, you are moonlight's envy,

Yet in your perfection, where is my reply?

Your youth's intoxicating bliss, it casts its spell on all,
Your youth's intoxicating bliss, it casts its spell on all,
It casts its spell on all…
My longing gaze, it finds in this, a revolution's call,
Yet in your perfection, where is my reply?

Yet in your perfection, where is my reply?
My beautiful beloved…
