A cover of Atif Aslam's beautiful song from Batti Gul Meter Chalu, which itself is an adaption of a qawwali by Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The lyrics are beautiful, here is a brief selection:

Raj ke rulaya, raj ke hasaya.
Maine dil khoke, ishq kamaya.

Maanga jo usne ek sitara,
humne zameen pe, chaand bulaaya.

Wo jo aankhon se, pal bhar na ojhal hue.
Lapata ho gaye dekhte dekhte.

I cried to the fullest, I laughed to the fullest.
By losing my heart I earned her love.

She asked for a star,
and I called the moon down to earth.

She never got away from my eyes for even a moment.
And then she went missing, right before my eyes.
