Just like the North Star You guide me to places near and far And how lovingly you call me "Nisar" How I wish to fall in your arms I got no hints from above And I'm not sure that I deserve That unreliable thing which we call love In my dreams I've idealized your face Hey Jaana Meri jaan, meri dilruba Jab se tum se pyaar hua I've forgotten who I am Hey Jaana My sweetheart, my North Star Ever since I fell in love with ya I've forgotten where I stand I still haven't told you that I love you I just don't have the courage to Hear back that you don't love me to I'd die rather than face rejection But if you do love me too I swear that I will love you Like the night sky loves the moon I'd live rather than embrace depression Hey Jaana Meri jaan, meri dilruba Jab se tum se pyaar hua I've forgotten who I am Hey Jaana My sweetheart, my North Star Ever since I fell in love with ya I've forgotten where I stand.

I don't know since when I had stopped dreaming of reuniting with you All this time where have you been? My hopes died with you Even when you are far away I am close to you Now being without you has become a habit Yet I continue to miss you In my life I used to have regrets Now being without you has become a habit Still your memory I shall never forget You're gone forever, will I ever be able to face it? My longing for you cannot be measured And in words it cannot be expressed My attachment to you cannot be untethered For countless days and nights I used to be depressed In my life I have no purpose I am simple alive underneath this blue sky I often shudder when I mistake the wind for your footsteps By others I am seen as a corpse even though I'm alive Your love for me was so deep I had become submerged in it Yet I do not see you when I fall asleep Now that being without you has become a habit.

Goodbye, faithless world I'll dedicate to you verses of love Bound by hate And written in blood Your gorgeous eyes make you out to be a Pisces Were you born to deceive? Or are you a Sagittarius? Please share some luck with me Stars will shine With the light of a Leo's pride Count to twelve And I'll be your zodiac killer The night will be alight By a Cancer's heart and a Gemini's lies Count to twelve And I'll be your zodiac killer Wherever you go, I'll obsessively follow Like a Scorpio Oh darling, could you match my lust? If I was an Aries or a Taurus? Stop criticizing me Like a Virgo Always undermining me Like a Capricorn Stars will shine With the allure of a Libra Count to twelve And I'll be your zodiac killer For love we long But like an Aquarius we are too arrogant Count to twelve And I'll be your zodiac killer.

She's the epitome of unfaithful Always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth Her actions are always shameful And she never keeps her vows I have been betrayed by the women of Karachi I have tried them all But none of them have deceived me Like the whore of Lahore Anarkali is her role model She wishes to be buried near her tomb So many times her victims have made her pregnant But no babies have ever been delivered from her womb Her each promise, a lie Her every word is filled with deceit She wouldn't even feel sorry if you’d died She never does anything for free I have been betrayed by the ladies of Peshawar I have tried them all But none have betrayed my heart Like the whore of Lahore.

To our love I dedicate a shrine Which shall receive its blessings from the divine I fell in love with you at first glance My head had spun around like a dervish's dance Hold me Like you've held on to purity And never let anything keep us apart Love me Like you loved Rumi Inflaming my desire for your Sufi heart With you I'm never who I ain't For you I'll commit good deeds forever like a saint When I'm without you I'm the loneliest philosopher I start visualizing the world like Iqbal Hold me Like you've held on to purity And never let anything keep us apart Love me Like you loved Rumi Inflaming my desire for your Sufi heart.

We might be estranged But you're in my thoughts even when you're miles away (Doorie) Living without you has not become a habit (Aadat) I said I hated you but would you take me now back if I hadn't Oh, where did I go wrong? I'm living my life like an Atif Aslam song Listening to "Woh Lamhe" on the radio Makes me wanna cry but I still turn up the stereo Would you let your eyelashes meet mine? (Kuch Is Tarah) Because without you (Tere Bin) I'll never be fine I wonder which path we are taking? (Hum Kis Gali) All that time were we faking? Oh, where did I go wrong? I'm living my life like an Atif Aslam song It's unbelievable It's inconceivable That you're not in my arms where you belong As I live my life like an Atif Aslam song.

This forced attraction To be with you With you, all I have is disenchantment All this time you thought I was lost in you My parents forced me To elope Now all I wish to do is escape Is there any hope? This marriage of convenience Is a sham It is actually a marriage of inconvenience When a person is pressured to love someone My thoughts still linger In the direction of whom I actually adore If I stay married to you I shall suffer forevermore.

I wish to propose to you Like it's the Mughal era Come to you on a white horse And make you my lover Are you hiding in Lahore Fort? You won't stay concealed for long I can sense the beat of your heart You're somewhere near Badshaahi Mosque Lift the veil off your gorgeous face In the Walled City We drift along these renovated ruins Just to feel free Mash'Allah, your eternal beauty Mash'Allah, my ethereal poetry In the Walled City We are free Now I'm following your trail to Delhi Gate Which points towards India And towards my ancestors' graves Where are you now, my inamorata? Are you near the Gurdwara of Dera Sahib? Or at the Samadhi of Ranjit Singh? Will you not throw me a hint? Loving you is like dying over and over again Lift the veil off your gorgeous face In the Walled City We drift along these renovated ruins Just to feel free Mash'Allah, your eternal beauty Mash'Allah, my ethereal poetry In the Walled City We are free.
