hame aitraj nahi hai kahi bhi
magar falsafa ye bighad jaata hai jo wo kehte hai
aalim ye kehta waha ishwar hai
fajil ye kehta waha allah hai
katil ye kehata wahaan isha hai
manjil ye kehti tab insan se ki
tumhaari hai tum hi sanbhaalo ye duniya
ujale huye chand baasi chirago
tumhare ye kale iraado ki duniya
ey o ri duniya o ri duniya o ri duniya

O, O, O, world,
O, O, O, world,
O, O, O, world,

O world of eyes, chalices of azure,
O world of eyes, chalices of azure,
O world of hues, of rainbows blooming,
O world of hues, of rainbows blooming,
Of slumbering beds, of flowers entwined,
Of pigeons stretching, a world defined.
O world of truths that turn in sleep,
Of a soul's yearning, secrets to keep,
Of needs enfolded in desires untold,
Of human dreams, a future to behold.

O, world, ah, ah, O, world,
O, world, ah, ah, O, world,
If this world were to be ours, what then?
If this world were to be ours, what then?
If this world were to be ours, what then?

O world of stories, scattered with care,
Of sisters' sighs, of youth's despair,
Of Adam's Eve, of bonds that bind,
O world of poets' words, left behind.

O, O, O, O,
The world of Ghalib's, Momin's dreams,
The world of Majaz's, revolutions gleam,
The world of Ghalib's, Momin's dreams,
The world of Majaz's, revolutions gleam,
Of Faiz, of Firaq, of Sahir, of Makhdoom,
Of the silent wounds, the sorrow's gloom.
If this world were to be ours, what then?
If this world were to be ours, what then?
If this world were to be ours, what then?

Moments fleeting, words take flight,
Moments passing, the fading night,
What lingers is the dawn we seek,
Shelter found in a burning bleak.

As it remains, so let it be,
Preserve this world, for you and me,
Embrace it, as our very own,
Lift it, though it stands alone,
In fleeting words, a fire starts,
Tend this world, with gentle hearts,
In remnants left, a new life grows,
Nurture this world, as it bestows.
O, world, ah, ah, O, world.

They say this world is not the whole,
Beyond the stars, a further scroll,
We are not alone, there are more,
Our every word, forevermore,
We do not object, in any place,
But the philosophy falls from grace,
The scholar says, there is a God,
The learned one, an Allah's nod,
The assassin says, there is Christ,
The destination says to mankind, that,
This world is yours, you must sustain,
Of light, of moon, of stale flames,
Of dark desires, in this world's name.
O, O, world, O, world, O, world.
