an-ginat logo.N ne,  duniyaa me.N,  muhabbat kee hai,

COUNTLESS PEOPLE IN THE WORLD HAVE LOVED,

an-ginat logo.N ne, duniyaa me.N,  muhabbat kee hai,

COUNTLESS PEOPLE IN THE WORLD HAVE LOVED,

kaun kehtaa hai ke,  saadiq naa theh,  jazbe un ke,

WHO SAYS THAT THEIR FEELINGS WEREN’T SINCERE!

lekin un ke liye,  tashheer kaa,  saamaan nahee.N,

BUT FOR THEM THERE WAS  NO MEANS TO PUBLICIZE,

kyoo.N ke voh log bhee, apnee hee taraah,  muflis theh,

SINCE LIKE ME THEY TOO WERE A LOT DEPRIVED!

MY BELOVED, MEET ME SOMEWHERE ELSE!

meree mehboob…

MY BELOVED!

yeh chaman-zaar, yeh jamna kaa,  kinaaraa yeh mahal,

THE VERDANT MEADOW, THE BANK OF YAMUNA AND THIS PALACE!

yeh chaman-zaar, yeh jamna kaa,  kinaaraa yeh mahal,

THE VERDANT MEADOW, THE BANK OF YAMUNA AND THIS PALACE!

yeh munaqqash dar-o-deewar, yeh mehraab yeh taaq,

THE ORNATE DOORS AND WALLS, THE NICHE, THE CORNICE!   

ek shahanshaah ne,  daulat kaa sahaaraa lekar,  

WITH THE HELP OF WEALTH, AN EMPEROR

hamm Gareebo.N kee, muhabbat kaa,   u.Daayaa hai mazaaq,

HAS RIDICULED OUR – THE COMMONERS’ – LOVE!

meree mehboob…

MY BELOVED!

meree mehboob…

MY BELOVED!

meree mehboob kaheen,  aur,  milaa kar mujh se,

MY BELOVED, MEET ME SOMEWHERE ELSE!

meree mehboob,  kaheen aur,  milaa kar mujh se,

MY BELOVED, MEET ME SOMEWHERE ELSE!

meree mehboob.

MY BELOVED!
