The song "Mera Naam Nai Shabnam" by Asha Bhosle is a catchy tune about a woman named Shabnam who is known for her beauty and charm. The lyrics describe how people lovingly call her 'Shabbo' and how she reminisces about a night where she and someone else were present while the Shehnai played all night long. She says that her name is Shabnam and people can call her 'Shabbo' with love. The lyrics also suggest that she is not afraid of anything, and the person she met that night is a secret that she won't tell anyone. The song is a playful back and forth between Shabnam and the person asking what their names are, with Shabnam guessing various names like Rina, Mina, Anju, Manju, or Madhu.
Overall, the lyrics are straightforward, but the melody is catchy and stays in your head. The song has a nostalgic and whimsical feel that transports the listener back to a time where they too may have danced the night away to the sound of the Shehnai.
