Meri arzi maan le maula
Tu hai sab kuch jaanne waala
Main hoon tera maanne waala
Mujhko bhi to lift kara de
Thodi si to lift kara de

Meri arzi maan le maula
Main hoon tera maanne waala
Bangla motor car dila de
Ek nahin do chaar dila de
Mujhko aeroplane dila de
Duniya bhar ki sair kara de
Kaise kaison ko diya hai

The lyrics of Adnan Sami's Lift Karadey (Lift Me Up) are a request from the singer to God, asking for blessings in the form of material possessions. He begins by acknowledging God's greatness and seeks his attention before making his request. He asks for a lift, making it clear that even a small gesture would suffice. The next verse is filled with requests for luxury items- a mansion, a car or even an airplane. He mentions currencies from around the world, asking for cash, checks and coins- whatever God may give him.
Towards the end of the song, he asks for precious metals like gold and silver, and even asks for a shower of money. In the final verse, he reminds God that he has been asking for a long time and pleads for his wish to be granted. The song has a playful tone, and the lyrics are a reflection of the common desire for material wealth and comfort.

Aajkal KE Bache Kya jaane songs sun ne ka sangarsh. Aajkal toh jab YouTube kholo tabhi jo jee chahe wahi gaana sunlo. Ek humara daur hua karta tha Kahi ek line school, tution ya kisiki Shaadi main sun lete the toh Ghar aake tv par channel Badal Badal ke gaane dhoonda karte the. Etc channel Se V channel aur B4U channel Se Mtv channel Tak. Tab bhi mushkil se kabhi hafte ya mahine main dobara sunane ko milta tha. Lekin woh din ache the 💕
