1/4: aalam

is aalam-e-veeraan mein

kya anjuman-aaraai

do roz ki mehfil hai

ik umr ki tanhaayi

what festivity is this

in a ruined realm

two days of celebration

a lifetime of loneliness

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

2/4: aalam

jo dekhte tere

zanjeer-e-zulf ka aalam

asir hone ki

aazaad aarzoo karte

should they see the world of

shackles of your tresses

even free men would

desire to be held hostage

Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)

3/4: aalam

ye ehtiyat ka aalam bhi

kya qayaamat hai

pukaar bhi na sake tujhko

tere naam se hum

this state of caution

how calamitous it was

i could not even

call out to you by your name

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

4/4: aalam

khud ko paaya to

gham-e-aalam mein bhi khushi paayi

tanhaayi mein bhi

apni hi mehfil sajaayi

when I found myself

i found joy even in worldly sorrows

even in solitude

i arranged my own gathering
