1/10: jahaan

jahaan par sarhaden

dair-o-haram ki khatm hoti hain

wahin par noor-e-imaan hai

wahin raah-e-yaqeen nikli

where the borders of

temples and mosques end

radiance of belief shines forth

the road to conviction begins

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)

2/10: jahaan

rah gayi hai kuch kami to

kya shikaayat hai 'faheem'?

is jahaan mein sab adhuure hain

mukammal kaun hai?

if you are lacking something

why complain so much, faheem?

in this world, everyone is partly done

who is ever fully complete?

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

3/10: jahaan

izn sooraj ki kiran ko

naheen jaane ka jahaan

meri takheel ka shaheen

wahaan bhi pahuncha

where the rays of the sun

do not have permission to enter

the falcon of my imagination

has found its way there

4/10: jahaan

jahaan mein hone ko, ai dost

yuun to sab hoga

tere labon pe mere lab hon

aisa kab hoga

in this world, my beloved,

everything can happen

but my lips on yours

when will that happen?

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

5/10: jahaan

ye mujhe chain

kyun nahin paDta

ek hi shakhs tha

jahaan mein kya

why can't i

find peace ever

why, was she the only

person in this whole world?

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

6/10: jahaan

ye to naheen ki tum sa

jahaan mein haseen naheen

is dil ko kya karoon

ye bahaltaa kaheen naheen

it isn’t that there aren’t in this world

others more beautiful than you

but what to do with this heart

it is not pacified anywhere else

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

7/10: jahaan

khudi ka raazdaan ho kar

khudi ki daastaan ho jaa

jahaan se kya gharaz tujh ko

tuu aap apnaa jahaan ho jaa

by being your own confidant

you become your own story

why so obsessed with this world

you become your own universe

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

8/10: jahaan

kabhi kisi ko mukammal

jahaan nahi milta

kahin zameen

kahin aasmaan nahi milta

nobody ever

gets the entire world

sometimes the earth

sometimes the sky…you don’t get

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

9/10: jahaan

haasil-e-kun hai

yeh jahaan-e-kharaab

yeh hi mumkin tha

itni ujlat me

the result of creation

is this ruined world

this was all that was possible

in such haste

Theme:Nature, World & Universe (44)

10/10: jahaan

mamnuun huun jahaan ke

nasheb-o-faraaz ka

aksar bigaD ke khud

meri haalat sambhal gayi

i am grateful for

the ups and downs of the world

often, my situation goes awry

before it corrects itself

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
