ek bar jhalak dikhal ke hame kismat ka sitara dub gaya
kashti to bechari kashti thi, pani me kinara dub gaya
isi ka nam dunia hai
isi ka nam dunia hai to dunia dekh li maine
isi ka nam dunia hai

kisi ki aarazu ka khun karke kya mila mujhko
kya mila mujhko
kisi ki aarazu ka khun karke kya mila mujhko
kya mila mujhko
ki apne dil ki dunia bhi ujadte dekh li maine
ki apne dil ki dunia bhi ujadte dekh li maine
isi ka nam dunia hai

meri aankho ke aage lut raha tha qafila dil ka
qafila dil ka
meri aankho ke aage lut raha tha qafila dil ka
qafila dil ka
qayamat hai ki jite ji qayamat dekh li maine
qayamat hai ki jite ji qayamat dekh li maine
isi ka nam dunia hai

meri andhi javani ne mujhe barbad kar dala
barbad kar dala
meri andhi javani ne mujhe barbad kar dala
barbad kar dala
kisi ki bevafai par luta di zindagi maine
kisi ki bevafai par luta di zindagi maine
isi ka nam dunia hai to dunia dekh li maine
isi ka nam dunia hai

A fleeting glimpse, then fortune's star descended,
The fragile boat, a boat it was, its shore surrendered.
This is the world's embrace, they say,
And I, I've seen the world today,
This is the world.

To spill the blood of longing, what reward was found?
What recompense?
To spill the blood of longing, what reward was found?
What recompense?
My heart's own world, I watched it crumble, ground to dust,
My heart's own world, I watched it crumble, ground to dust,
This is the world's embrace.

Before my eyes, the caravan of heart was plundered,
The caravan,
Before my eyes, the caravan of heart was plundered,
The caravan,
A judgment day, alive, I witnessed,
A judgment day, alive, I witnessed,
This is the world.

My blinded youth, it brought me to despair,
To ruin.
My blinded youth, it brought me to despair,
To ruin.
For infidelity, I squandered life's sweet grace,
For infidelity, I squandered life's sweet grace,
This is the world's embrace, and I, I've seen the world today,
This is the world.
