Aflatoon Meaning
Aflatoon today is a word that is used for an eccentric, sometimes even a mad person.
As such, the word is a distorted form of Plato, which cannot be spoken in Arabic due to absence of 'P' sound and ended up becoming Aflatoon, and was picked up in Urdu and subsequently by some Hindi speakers, also because of the interesting sound the word makes.
As for the meaning, it probably comes from the questioning, curious nature of Plato, which is considered strange by common people.

Ishq Shava Lyrics Translation (Jab Tak Hai Jaan)
Movie: Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Ishq shava.. mushq shava..
khushamdeed-e-Marhaba..
Love is cure, fragrance is cure,

Mila mila mila mila ankh milaa
Laga laga laga laga aag lagaa
Zara zara zara zara paas to aa

begin a fire.. (prov: Do something passionate)
come close a little..
Welcome, Welcome..

Ishq Shava Meaning
It seems the lines Ishq Shava, Mushq Shava, Khushamadeed-e-Marahaba are a mix of Urdu and Persian.
Going by that, Shavaa would mean a cure, a recovery, and so the lines Ishq Shavaa, Mushq Shavaa, Khushamadeed-e-Marhaba would mean 'Love is there, fragrance is there, Welcome (them), welcome (them)'.
Basically the meaning here is that contrary to the proverb 'Ishq aur mushq chhupaye nahi chhupte', which means Love and Fragrance cannot be hidden, the poet here says that we should welcome, enjoy and rejoice love and fragrances, say, instead of even trying to hide them.

Kun Fayakun Meaning (Context: Rockstar song)
If you Google for the meaning of Kun Fayakun, you would somewhere find the words 'Be! And it is' and probably the detail that it's from Arabic.
