hasino mere pass aao
mai gaata hu tum muskurao
mere raho mai aankhe bichao
are tum me se koi banegi meri mahbuba
mahbuba mahbuba mahbuba mahbuba
mahbuba mahbuba mahbuba mahbuba

jiski jhil si gahri aakho main mera dil duba
jiski jhil si gahri aakho main mera dil duba
mai uska mahbub banu wo meri mahbuba
mahbuba mahbuba mahbuba mahbuba
jiski jhil si gahri aakho me mera dil duba
main uska mahbub banu wo meri mahbuba
mahbuba mahbuba mahbuba mahbuba
mahbuba mahbuba mahbuba mahbuba

jha dekhi maine koi hasi najni mehjmi
mere dil me aayi vahi khi ye meri mahbuba to nahi
he hi he hi hi hi hi hi
jha dekhi maine koi hasi najni mehjmi
mere dil me aayi vahi khi ye meri mahbuba to nahi
ye meri mahbuba to nahi

Come, lovelies, gather near,
As I sing, and you shall cheer.
Lay your eyes upon my path,
Tell me, from you, who stirs my wrath,
And love, my love, my only love,
Mahbooba, Mahbooba, soaring above.
Mahbooba, Mahbooba, love, my dove.

In eyes, where lakes of longing lie,
My heart descends, where shadows sigh.
I shall become her beloved's gleam,
She, my love, my waking dream,
Mahbooba, Mahbooba, pure and true,
In eyes where longing shadows grew.
I shall become her beloved's hue,
Mahbooba, Mahbooba, through and through.

Where I glimpse a beauty's grace,
A vision of a smiling face,
My heart within, it takes a leap,
Whispering, "Could this be, the love so deep?"
He, He, He, He, a hopeful plea,
Where I glimpse a beauty, wild and free,
My heart within, it turns the key,
"Could this be, this Mahbooba, for me?"
My Mahbooba, could this truly be?
