mera naam shola, jidhar dekh lun ek najar
bijliyaan gir pade aag bhadke udhar
muskura ke jidhar dekh lun ek najar
ji jhum uthe phul hans de udhar
phul hans de udhar

o mera naam shola, na ban itna bhola
ke mujhse jo khela vo jal jaayega
o mera naam shola

meri julfe sada chum kar ye ghata
aise bahke sanam jaise gahra nasha
meri julfe sada chum kar ye ghata
aise bahke sanam jaise gahra nasha
meri julfe sada chum kar ye hawa
aise mahke sanam jaise baad-e-saba
aise mahke sanam jaise baad-e-saba

mera naam shabnam main phulo ki humdam
ke muhjse jo khela vo khil jaayega
mera naam shabnam

mere aanchal tale shaam jab jab dhale
husn ke naam se sari mahfil saje
mere aanchal tale shaam jab jab dhale
husn ke naam se sari mahfil saje
mere aanchal tale shaam jab jab dhale
ishq ke naam se ek shamma jale
ishq ke naam se ek shamma jale

o mera naam shola, na ban itna bhola
ke mujhse jo khela vo jal jaayega
mujhse jo khela vo jal jaayega, jal jaayega
mera naam shabnam main phulo ki humdam
ke muhjse jo khela vo khil jaayega
muhjse jo khela vo khil jaayega, khil jaayega
mera naam shabnam

I am Shola, a gaze from me, a spark,
And lightning strikes, and fires mark
The very ground. A smile, a glance,
And hearts ignite, flowers dance.
Flowers dance.
Oh, I am Shola, do not feign,
For those who play with me feel pain.
Oh, I am Shola.

My tresses kiss the clouds that weep,
And lovers reel, in slumber deep.
My tresses kiss the winds that sigh,
And lovers bloom, as breezes fly,
As morning's breath drifts softly by.
I am Shabnam, a flower's friend,
And those who play with me transcend,
Will bloom anew.
I am Shabnam.

Beneath my veil, as twilight falls,
Beauty's name on high enthralls,
As evening's cloak descends the sky,
In love's sweet name, a candle nigh,
In love's sweet name, a flame on high.

Oh, I am Shola, do not feign,
For those who play with me feel pain.
Who play with me will feel the flame, the flame.
I am Shabnam, a flower's friend,
And those who play with me transcend,
Who play with me will bloom again, again.
I am Shabnam.
