sher ka husn ho
sher ka husn ho nagme ki jawani ho
tum ek dhadkti hui ek dhadkti hui
shadab kahani ho tum, sher ka husn ho

aankh aisi, aankh aisi ke kaval tumse nishani mange
zulf aisi, zulf aisi ke ghata sharam se pani mange
jis taraf se bhi
jis taraf se bhi, nazar dale suhani ho tum
sher ka husn ho

jism aisa, jism aisa ke ajanta ka amal yaad aaye
sangemarmar me dala
sangemarmar me dala, tajmahal yaad aaye
pighle pighle, pighle pighle huye
rango ki ravani ho tum
sher ka husn ho

dhadkne bunti hai jisko wo tarana ho tum
sach kaho kis ke mukaddar ka khajana ho tum
mujhpe mahir ho
mujhpe mahir ho, ke dushman ki diwani ho tum
sher ka husn ho nagme ki jawani ho tum
sher ka husn ho, sher ka husn ho

The lion's grace,
the song's young bloom,
you are a story,
pulsing, green,
the lion's grace.

Eyes that beg,
only for your mark,
locks that shame
the rain's dark spark,
wherever glance falls,
a lovely hue,
the lion's grace.

A form that wakes,
Ajanta's art,
a marble cast,
Taj Mahal's heart,
melted, flowing,
colors' tide,
the lion's grace.

The song the heart weaves, you are that tune,
tell me, whose fortune, is you, a boon?
Expert on me,
or foe's mad queen,
the lion's grace,
the song's young bloom,
the lion's grace,
the lion's grace.
