کالی کالی رات میں کالے چَشْمَے پہن کے آتا ہوُں
ہر پارْٹی کی جان بَن جاتا ہوُں
گِٹار بے تار بجاتا ہوُں
طَبْلَے پہ سب کو نچاتا ہوُں
اُلْٹے سِیدھے گانے مَیں گَاتا ہوُں
In the dark, dark night, I come with dark glasses
I become the soul of every party
I play air guitar
I make everyone dance to my tambourine
I sing nonsensical songs
او مَیں نَہِیں سنتا اپْنے باپ کی
نَئِیں کوئی ٹی شرْٹ میرے ناپ کی
یہ میری بوڈی ، یہ ڈولے
[ I move ] ہَولے ہَولے
تُو گوگلز کَر لے یار
I don't pay heed to my own father
There isn't any T-shirt my size
This body of mine, these biceps
I move smoothly
‘Googlez’ me, mate!

On the surface, I am straightforward
But on the inside, I am a big thing
I manage to become a hit every season
او میری چَھنّو میں ہے اِک نشہ
مدھوبالا میں اَیسا مزہ
یہ میرا یہ ریشَم ، یہ کِم کارْڈیشن
اِن سب کا ہوُں مَیں یار
Oh, there is an excitement in my "Channo"
"Madhubala" is such a joy!
This Meera, this Resham, this Kim Kardashian
I am friends with them all!

There is a golden embroidery on it
and there is a low-neck banyan under it
Oy! Don't give me the tale
of the tattered jeans, friend!

raksTaar (Hindi: रॉकस्टार, Urdu: روکْسٹار), but normally transcribed in English, is a song written, composed, and sung by the Pakistani singer-songwriter Ali Zafar.
It was played in 2015 at season 4 of the Pakistani musical TV show Coke Studio
The song is some sort of humorous biopic where Zafar, the author, portrays himself as vain, boastful, and insecure womanizer.
In the lyrics, he praises his own charm and physical appearance, and he mentions 2 famous songs that he has interpreted: "Channo" and Madhubala (both happen to be women's names).
Also, he refers to himself as "AZ" (his initials), and he claims to be friends with "Resham" and "Meera" (Irtiza Rubab), both renowned Pakistani actresses who are his friends in real life.
The "I am allowed four" part of the lyrics is a joking reference to the maximum number of wives allowed to a man in Islam.
The song is mostly in Urdu, with numerous lines wholly in English, and some Punjabi.
