hamne teri jafa ka wafa naam rakh diya
rakhna to naam aur tha kya naam rakh diya
hamne teri jafa ka wafa naam rakh diya
banda nawab bole kya naam rakh diya
hamne teri wafa ka jafa naam rakh diya

ab se na ham karenge hasino ka aitbar ab se
na ham karenge
hasino ka aitbar hasino ka aitbar
hamne to aashiqi ka saja naam rakh diya
rakhna to naam aur tha kya naam rakh diya
hamne teri jafa ka wafa naam rakh diya

ham khub jante hai
teri aahiqi hai kya ham khub jante hai
teri aahiqi hai kya teri aashiqi hai kya
choti si arzoo ka bada naam rakh diya
banda nawab bole kya naam rakh diya
hamne teri wafa ka jafa naam rakh diya

jab julf ki ghataye fiza me bikhar gayi
jab julf ki ghataye fiza me bikhar gayi
fiza me bikhar gayi hamne tumhara

We named your cruelty, "Fidelity,"
Though other names were meant, what else could we decree?
We named your cruelty, "Fidelity,"
Banda Nawab questioned, "What name did you agree?"
We named your cruelty, "Fidelity."

Henceforth, no trust for beauties will reside,
No trust, no trust, in loveliness's stride.
We christened love's embrace, "Punishment's tide,"
Though other names were meant, what else could we confide?
We named your cruelty, "Fidelity."

We know so well your love's deceptive guise,
We know so well, your love that never dies,
A fleeting wish, a name that magnifies,
Banda Nawab questioned, "What name did you surmise?"
We named your cruelty, "Fidelity."

When tresses like storm clouds in the wind did roam,
When tresses in the wind, a shadowed home,
We then bestowed...your name, forever known...
