Urdu/Persian to English translation of a few words [Mehdi Hassan's Rafta Rafta]....?

I've cut short the ghazal to verses that I don't Fully understand, though I get the sense & emotion conveyed...

Rafta Rafta Wo Meri Hasti Ka Saman Ho Gaye

Pehle Jaan Phir Jaan-E-Jaan Phir Jaan-E-Jaana Ho Gaye

Rafta Rafta Wo Meri Hasti Ka Saman Ho Gaye

Deen-Ba-Deen Badhti Gayi Iss Husn Ki Ranaiya

Pehle Gul Phir Gulbadan Phir Gulbadama Ho Gaye

Rafta Rafta Wo Meri Hasti Ka Saman Ho Gaye

.......

Aapse Phir Tum Houe Phir Tu Ka Unwan Ho Gaye

Rafta Rafta Wo Meri Hasti Ka Saman Ho Gaye

Meaning/translation of only "Unwan" in these last 2 lines.

Thanks in advance :-)
