Lalach badi kubsoorat bala hai
Hey dekho na, kiski duwa hai
Aasman chune jo uska dura hai
Rooz naya khwaab dete zindagi
Aaise hasin sazza de eee…
Jannat jahan aaa… Jannat yehan
Jannat jahan aaa… Jannat yehan
Yeh suno na, duniya ko kya hai
Hum ne jo chaha, hum ne woh kiya hai
Hey dehko na, jadu yeh kya hai
Patar ko chu ke mein ne sona kiya hai
Rooz naya khwaab dete zindagi
Aaise hasin sazza de eee…
Jannat jahan aaa… Jannat yehan
Jannat jahan aaa… Jannat yehan
Paisa jeene ki duwa
Paisa marne ka sama
Paisa ka jadoo ajab
Rooz naya khwaab dete zindagi
Aaise hasin sazza de eee…
Jannat jahan aaa… Jannat yehan
Jannat jahan aaa… Jannat yehan
Jannat jahan aaa… Jannat yehan
Hey suno na, aankho mein kya hai
Dil ne jo chaha dil ko sab mil gaya hai
yeh…
The lyrics to Rupam Islam's song Jannat Jahan are an inquiry into the nature of desire, and the ways in which it can lead us away from our spiritual goals. The song begins by urging the listener to "listen" to the heart, which is saying that greed is a beautiful temptation. The singer next urges the listener to "look" at whose prayer this is - indicating that the spiritual path is one that cannot be discerned by exterior gestures, but only by deep inner work.
The chorus of the song, "Jannat jahan," which means "heaven is here," reinforces this idea, suggesting that the spiritual treasures we seek are already present in the here and now if we are only able to attune ourselves to their frequency. The middle of the song takes a more explicitly materialistic turn, acknowledging the power and allure of money, but ultimately the emphasis is on finding the beauty and pleasure of life in simpler things.
The lyrics to Jannat Jahan are beautiful and poetic, but they are also deeply thought-provoking, asking listeners to reflect on their own relationship to desire, material wealth, and spiritual fulfillment. With its lush arrangements and haunting melodies, the song is a powerful reminder of the beauty and mystery of life, and the quest we all undertake to find meaning and purpose in our journey through it.

Hey suno na, dil keh raha hai
Listen, my heart is saying
Lalach badi kubsoorat bala hai
Greed is a beautiful affliction
Hey dekho na, kiski duwa hai
Look, whose prayer is it
Aasman chune jo uska dura hai
Whose aim is to touch the sky
Rooz naya khwaab dete zindagi
Life gives a new dream every day
Aaise hasin sazza de eee…
And such a beautiful punishment it is
Jannat jahan aaa… Jannat yehan
Heaven is here
Yeh suno na, duniya ko kya hai
Listen, what is the world
Hum ne jo chaha, hum ne woh kiya hai
What we desired, we achieved
Hey dehko na, jadu yeh kya hai
Look, what magic is this
Patar ko chu ke mein ne sona kiya hai
I touched a stone and it turned into gold
Paisa jeene ki duwa
Prayer for earning money
Paisa marne ka sama
The occasion of dying for money
Paisa ka jadoo ajab
Money has a strange magic
Hey suno na, aankho mein kya hai
Listen, what is in the eyes
Dil ne jo chaha dil ko sab mil gaya hai
What the heart desired, it got it all
