yahaa.n ha.nsnaa bhee mushkil hai,
TO LAUGH IS DIFFICULT HERE,


yahaa.n ronaa bhee mushkil hai,
TO WEEP IS ALSO DIFFICULT HERE,


yeh naadaano.n kee duniyaa, hai
‘TIS THE WORLD OF IGNORANTS,


yeh deewaano.n kee mehfil hai...
‘TIS THE GATHERING OF THE FOOLS!


tamaashaa bann gayaa hoo.n mai.n,
I’VE BECOME A SPECTACLE,


duniyaa hai tamaashaayee,
THE WORLD’S A SPECTATOR,


koee kehtaa hai deewaanaa,
SOME SAY, “CRAZY,”


koee kehtaa hai saudaayee,
SOME SAY “LOVER PROFOUND,”


udhar saaraa, zamaanaa hai,
THE WHOLE WORLD IS THERE,


udhar saaraa, zamaanaa hai,
THE WHOLE WORLD IS THERE,


idhar tanhaa meraa dil hai,
HERE IS MY LONELY HEART!


yahaa.n ha.nsnaa bhee mushkil hai,
TO LAUGH IS DIFFICULT HERE,


yahaa.n ronaa bhee mushkil hai,
TO WEEP IS ALSO DIFFICULT HERE,


yeh naadaano.n kee duniyaa, hai
'TIS THE WORLD OF IGNORANTS,


yeh deewaano.n kee mehfil hai...
‘TIS THE GATHERING OF THE FOOLS!

“ I pass by these walls, the walls of Laila
And I kiss this wall and that wall
It’s not Love of the houses that has taken my heart
But of the One who dwells in those houses.”
