English Transliteration/Translation of the original lyrics:








O Mere Shaah-e-Khoobaa.n
O MY FAIREST OF THE FAIR,

O Meri Jaan-e-Jaanaana
O MY SOUL OF SOULS,

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST..

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST...


Kab Khayaalo.n ki Dhoop Dhalti Hai
WHEN THE SUNLIGHT OF THOUGHTS DECLINES,

Har Qadam Par Shama Si Jalti Hai,
EVERY STEP LITS UP LIKE THE LAMP,

Mere Saaya Jidhar Bhi Jaata Hai
WHEREVER GOES MY SHADOW,

Teri Tasveer Saath Chalti Hai
YOUR PICTURE IT ACCOMPANIES.


O Mere Shaah-e-Khoobaa.n
O MY FAIREST OF THE FAIR,

O Meri Jaan-e-Jaanaana
O MY SOUL OF SOULS,

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST.

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST...



Tum Ho Sehraa mei.n Tum Ho Gulistaa.n mei.n
IN THE DESERT YOU ARE, IN THE ROSE-GARDENS YOU EXIST,

Tum Ho Zarro.n mei.n, Tum Biyaabaa.n mei.n
IN THE ATOMS YOU ARE, IN THE WILDERNESS YOU EXIST,

Maine Tum Ko Kahaa.n Kahaa.n Dekha
ALL OVER I LOOKED FOR YOU,

Chhup Ke Rehte Ho Tum Rag-e-Jaa.n mei.n
STAYING HIDDEN IN THE JUGULAR VEIN YOU EXIST.


O Mere Shaah-e-Khoobaa.n
O MY FAIREST OF THE FAIR,

O Meri Jaan-e-Jaanaana
O MY SOUL OF SOULS,

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST..

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST...


Meri Aankho.n ki Justajoo Tum Ho,
THE QUEST OF MY EYES YOU’RE

Iltaja Tum Ho, Arzoo Tum Ho
REQUEST YOU’RE, DESIRE YOU’RE,

Mai.n Kisi Aur ko Toh Kyaa Jaanu.n
WHAT DO I CARE TO KNOW ABOUT ANOTHER,

Meri Ulfat ki Aabru Tum Ho.
THE DIGNITY OF MY LOVE YOU’RE.


O Mere Shaah-e-Khoobaa.n
O MY FAIREST OF THE FAIR,

O Meri Jaan-e-Jaanaana
O MY SOUL OF SOULS,

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST..

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST...
