Koi jaane koi na jaane ye parwaane hote hain deewane
Koi jaane koi na jaane ye parwaane hote hain deewane
Dekho ye do parwaane hain dono hi deewane
Jab se mili hai aankhein hosh hain dono hi ke gum
Kaisa ghumaar hai allah allah
Kaisa ye pyaar hai allah allah
Dekho ye do parwaane hain dono hi deewane Jab se mili hai aankhein hosh hain dono hi ke gum
Kaisa ghumaar hai allah allah
Kaisa ye pyaar hai allah allah
Duniya ko humne bhulaaya jo tumko hai paaya
Pyaar ka naazuk dhaaga humein kahan le aaya
Pyaar ka naazuk dhaaga humein kahan le aaya
Lekin suno to duniya mein ye kya afsaane hain
Kehte hain duniya waale ki hum deewane hain
Kehte hain duniya waale ki hum deewane hain
Dil ki baatein ye dil hi jaane
Kab samjhi hain ye baatein duniya ne
To phir mashoor hai jo
Humko manzoor hai vo
Jab se mili hai aankhein hosh hain dono hi ke gum
Kaisa ikraar hai allah allah
Kaisa ye pyaar hai allah allah
Aa...
Dekho to ye lagta hai ki aasaan hai manzil
Socho to dil kehta hai ki aayegi mushkil
Socho to dil kehta hai ki aayegi mushkil
Ho dekhne sochna kaisa jo dil hi de daala
Jogi ne to hai pehen li prem ki ye maala
Jogi ne to hai pehen li prem ki ye maala
Dil ki baatein ye dil hi jaane
Kab samjhi hain ye baatein duniya ne
To phir mashoor hai jo
Humko manzoor hai vo
Jab se mili hai aankhein hosh hain dono hi ke gum
Kaisa dildaar hai allah allah
Kaisa ye pyaar hai allah allah
Kaisa ghumaar hai allah allah
Kaisa ye pyaar hai allah allah
Sun le zameen sun le aasmaan
Dono ki pyaar ki ye daastaan
Dono mein hain kaisi deewangi
Dono dilon ne kahe hain kahaan
Sun le zameen sun le aasmaan
Dono ki pyaar ki ye daastaan
Man mein umang leke tan mein tarang leke
Chhod chale dono duniya ki galiyaan
Inko junoon hai inki sukoon hai
Jab se mili hai aankhein hosh hain dono hi ke gum
Kaisa karaar hai allah allah
Kaisa ye pyaar hai allah allah
Kaisa ikraar hai allah allah
Kaisa ye pyaar hai allah allah
Kaisa ikraar hai allah allah
Kaisa ye pyaar hai allah allah
Kaisa ghumaar hai allah allah
Kaisa ye pyaar hai allah allah

Overall Meaning:
The lyrics of the song Koi Jane Koi Na Jane by the legendary qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan are about two lovers who are simply crazy for each other. They are like two moths attracted to a flame, heedless of the dangers around them. The chorus of the song, "Koi jaane koi na jaane ye parwaane hote hain deewane," which can be translated as "Some know, some do not know, these are the moths, they are insane," sums up the theme of the song. The singer observes that since they met, the two lovers have lost their minds, and they are now enchanted by this passion that they cannot resist. The refrain "Kaisa ghumaar hai Allah Allah," meaning "What kind of intoxication is this, oh God," conveys how their love has rendered them unable to think logically.
The song also touches upon the attitudes that society has towards such love, suggesting that people often ridicule lovers and don't understand the true nature of their love. The part "Kehte hain duniya waale ki hum deewane hain," which translates to "The world says that we are insane," shows how people generally do not understand the depth of the connection the two lovers share. The lyrics then suggest that love is something that only the heart truly comprehends, while the world merely sees it as folly.
