Lyrics by Rana Sahri

kabhi guncha kabhi shola kabhi shabnam kee tarah
log milte hain badalte huye mausam kee tarah

Guncha: Flower Bud
Shola: Blaze, Light
Shabnam: Dew

mere mehboob mere pyaar ko ilzaam na de
hijr mein eed manaayee hai moharrum ki tarah

Hijr: Separation, Absence From One’s Country
Eed: Festival of Fast Breaking (after the month of Ramzaan)
Moharram: The first month of the Islamic calendar; a period of mourning

maine khushboo kee tarah tujhko kiya hai mehsoos
dil ne chheda hai teri yaad ko shabnam ki tarah

Khushboo: Aroma, Scent, Fragrance
Mehsoos: Felt, Perceived, Sensible
Chhedna: To Tease

kaise ham-dard ho tum kaisee masihaayee hai
dil pe nashtar bhi lagaate ho to marham ki tarah

Ham-dard: Benefactor, Kindly, Partner In Adversity Sympathizer, Tender-Hearted
Masiihaa: Christ, One Who Can Give Life
Nashtar: Surgeon’s Knife
Marham: Cure, Liniment, Ointment, Salve
