1/7: qayaamat
raahzan hai mera rahbar
munsif hai mera qaatil
sehlu toh qayaamat hai
kehdu toh bhagaawat hai
the bandit is my guide
the judge is my assassin
if i endure, calamity
if i speak out, mutiny

2/7: qayaamat
har qayaamat se
ba-khabar hona
ek qayaamat hai
deedawar hona
to be always aware
of every possible calamity
it is indeed a calamity
to be so aware (and fearful)

3/7: qayaamat
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

4/7: qayaamat
koi kya jaane ki hai
roz-e-qayaamat kya cheez
doosra naam hai
meri shab-e-tanhai ka
what does anyone know
about the day of apocalypse
it is another name for
my night of loneliness

khud se
guzre to
qayaamat se
guzar jayenge hum

through myself
i can get through
any calamity

6/7: qayaamat
teri adaaon ki saadgi mein
kisi ko mehsoos bhi na hoga
abhi qayaamat ka ik karishma
haya ke daaman mein pal rahaa hai
in the simplicity of your manners
no one can even sense
the miracle of an apocalypse being
nurtured in the lap of your modesty
Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)
7/7: qayaamat
ham ne to dareechon pe
saja rakkhe hain parde
baahar hai qayaamat ka
jo manzar to hamen kya
i have decorated my windows
with curtains
the sights of apocalypse outside
how do they matter to me?
