mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam
salaam, salaam, salaam
mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam
mushqil mein jaan aayi, aaya honthon pe tera naam
mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam
tera jalwa hu tera parda hu
kya parada kya jalava, ye dil tujhase hai mansub
mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam
salaam, salaam, salaam
mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam

mera habib tu hai, mera nasib tu hai
mera habib tu hai, mera nasib tu hai
dar ka faqir hun, main banda asir hun main
tujhape meri nazar hai, mujhase tu bekabar hai
tujhape meri nazar hai, mujhase tu bekabar hai
main apane meharabaan se, ab kya kahun zubaan se
aahon se ishq mein lete hain, aashiq zubaan ka kaam
mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam
salaam, salaam
mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam

hai intazaar mushqil, suni hai dil ki mahafil
kab teri did hogi, maston ki id hogi
kab teri did hogi, maston ki id hogi
chilaman se aa nikal kar, mere hasin dilabar
jo kuchh bhi daramiyaan hai, ud jaayega dhuwan hai
parade utha raha hai, saare shaayar ka ye qalaam
mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam
salaam, salaam, salaam
mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam

nazaron mein tu hi tu hai, bas teri aarazu hai
ye beruki hai kaisi, ye bekudi hai kaisi
ye beruki hai kaisi, ye bekudi hai kaisi
pahachaan ye nigaahe, ye aansu aur ye aahe
pahachaan ye nigaahe, ye aansu aur ye aahe
shauq-e-vishaal ye hai, is dil ka haal ye hai
le ke bagair nagama, jaise may ke bagair jaam
mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam
salaam, salaam, salaam
mere mahabub tujhe salaam, mere mahabub tujhe salaam

My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you
Greetings, greetings, greetings
My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you
Life returns in hardship, your name graces my lips
My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you
Your radiance, and your veil, are one
What veil, what radiance, this heart belongs to you
My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you
Greetings, greetings, greetings
My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you

You are my love, you are my destiny
You are my love, you are my destiny
I am a beggar at your door, a captive in your thrall
My gaze is fixed on you, while you are unaware of me
My gaze is fixed on you, while you are unaware of me
What can I say to my compassionate one with my tongue?
In love's fire, lovers speak with their sighs instead
My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you
Greetings, greetings, greetings
My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you

Waiting is difficult, the heart's gathering is empty
When will your face be seen, when will the intoxicated ones celebrate Eid?
When will your face be seen, when will the intoxicated ones celebrate Eid?
Come forth from behind the curtain, my beautiful beloved
Whatever exists between us, will vanish like smoke
This poem of the poet, is lifting all veils
My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you
Greetings, greetings, greetings
My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you

In my sight, you alone exist, only your desire remains
What is this indifference, what is this self-forgetfulness?
What is this indifference, what is this self-forgetfulness?
Recognize these eyes, these tears, and these sighs
Recognize these eyes, these tears, and these sighs
This is the longing for union, this is the state of this heart
Like a cup without wine, without a song's refrain
My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you
Greetings, greetings, greetings
My beloved, I greet you, my beloved, I greet you
