YE DUNIYA..YE MEHFIL
This world, this gathering
is of no use to be
to whom shall I announce the state of my restless heart?
I am the fading flame of my own mausoleum
I wish I could forget, but I am unable to forget
with such pomp marched the funeral of Spring
This world, this gathering
is of no use to be
I know neither my own whereabouts nor have I heard news from friends
Even enemies do not receive such a punishment for love
Those who found God are those who search for God
Let me just have one glimpse of my beloved
This world, this gathering
is of no use to be
Even as I enter the wilderness, I found no shelter
I found no excuses (or pretense) to erase the memory of my sadness
What do I understand of the world in which my heart remains longing for love?
Upon losing a winning gamble, I must search for my lost friend
This world, this gathering
is of no use to be
Far from my gaze, someone is shedding tears
How can I resist going when someone calls to me?
Either let me mend this broken heart or let me break all ties
Oh mountain give me the path! Oh thorns, let go of your embrace!
This world, this gathering
is of no use to be
