As already said, the fieldLabel option will only apply in a form layout context (usually provided by the form panel).

As a quick fix, you can display your labels in BoxComponent:

Ext.onReady(function() {
    var panel = new Ext.FormPanel({
        title: "HBox Panel",
        layout: 'hbox',
        width: 300,
        height: 200,
        renderTo: document.body,
        items: [{
            xtype: 'box'
            ,html: '<label class="x-form-item-label" style="width: auto; margin: 0 5px;">'
                + 'Label 1:</label>'
            ,cls: 'x-form-item'
        },{
            xtype: "textfield"
        },{
            xtype: 'box'
            ,html: '<label class="x-form-item-label" style="width: auto; margin: 0 5px;">'
                + 'Label 2:</label>'
            ,cls: 'x-form-item'
        },{
            xtype: "textfield"
        }]
    });
});

Of course, it would be cleaner to create a CSS class for the custom styles, or even extend a new component from BoxComponent.

You can also generalize this logic in the parent panel's initComponent method, to create box components for the labels from the configured fieldLabel of the field (this way you could also set the for attribute of the label tag because you'll know the generated id of the field components at this time).
