یہ دُنیا اَگَر مِل بھی
Touch on each word to display its meaning
Even if One Gains This World
…
یہ مَحَلّوں ، یہ تَخْتوں ، یہ تاجوں کی دُنیا
یہ اِنْسان کے دُشمن سماجوں کی دُنیا
[ both lines x2 ]
یہ دَولت کے بُھوکے رَواجوں کی دُنیا
یہ دُنیا اَگَر مِل بھی جائے تو کْیا ہے
[ both lines x2 ]
…
This world of palaces, thrones, and crowns
This community of enemies of mankind
[both lines x2]
This world of mores of thirst for wealth
Even if you gain this world, what of it?
[both lines x2]
ہر اِک جِسم گھائِل ، ہر اِک رُوح پیاسی
نگاہوں میں اُلجھن ، دِلوں میں اُداسی
یہ دُنیا ہے یا عالَمِ بَدْحَوَاسی
یہ دُنیا اَگَر مِل بھی جائے تو کْیا ہے [ x2 ]
Each and every body stricken, each and every soul thirsty
Confusion in the glances, despondency in the hearts
Is this a world or a "world of confusion"?
Even if you gain this world, what of it? [x2]
یہاں اِک کِھلونا ہے اِنْسان کی ہستی
یہ بستی ہے مُردَہ پَرَست کی بستی
یہاں پَر تو جِیون سے ہے مَوت سَسْتی
یہ دُنیا اَگَر مِل بھی جائے تو کْیا ہے [ x2 ]
Here, man's existence is a plaything,
it is a settlement of worshipers of the dead.
Because over here, death is cheaper than life.
Even if you gain this world, what of it? [x2]
جوانی بھٹکتی ہے بَد کار بَن کَر
جَوان جِسم سَجْتے ہَیں بازار بَن کَر
یہاں پیار ہوتا ہے بِیوپار بَن کَر
یہ دُنیا اَگَر مِل بھی جائے تو کْیا ہے [ x2 ]
Youth becomes wicked and goes astray,
young bodies become a bazaar, embellished.
Here, love has been turned into a trade.
Even if you gain this world, what of it? [x2]
یہ دُنیا جہاں آدْمی کُچھ نَہِیں ہے
وفا کُچھ نَہِیں ، دوسْتی کُچھ نَہِیں ہے
[ both lines x2 ]
جہاں پیار کی قَدْر ہی کُچھ نَہِیں ہے
یہ دُنیا اَگَر مِل بھی جائے تو کْیا ہے [ x2 ]
This world where man is nothing
Faithfulness is nothing, friendship is nothing
[both lines x2]
Where love's worth itself is nothing
Even if you gain this world, what of it? [x2]
جلا دو اِسے پھونک ڈالو یہ دُنیا
جلا دو ، جلا دو ، جلا دو
جلا دو اِسے پھونک ڈالو یہ دُنیا
میرے سامْنے سے ہٹا لو یہ دُنیا
تُمْہاری ہے تُم ہی سنبھالی یہ دُنیا
یہ دُنیا اَگَر مِل بھی جائے تو کْیا ہے
…
Torch it, set this world on fire,
Torch, torch it, torch it!
Torch it, set this world on fire,
remove this world from my sight (in front of me)!
This world is yours only, you fix it!
Even if you gain this world, what of it? [x2]

ye duniyaa agar mil bhii (Hindi: यह दुनिया अगर मिल भी, Urdu: یہ دُنیا اگر مِل بھی) "Even if You Gain/Meet/Conform to This World", is a song featured in the 1957 Bollywood film Pyaasa.
The song's lyrics, written by Sahir Ludhianvi, are a plea and a renunciation against the materialistic character of the world.
In the movie, the song is played when the protagonist, a struggling poet called Vijay (Guru Dutt), breaks into an auditorium where the antagonist, the evil Mr. Ghosh (played by Rehman) is trying to take advantage of his poems.
The other protagonist, Gulabo (Waheeda Rehman), a kind-hearted prostitute who helps Vijay, is also in the audience.
As people start noticing Vijay, and recognizing him as the author of the poem, the poem gets more dramatic ("Burn the world, torch it!") and Mr. Ghosh, trying to conceal his embarrassment, has Vijay forcibly removed from the auditorium.
The music of this song, along with the others in the film, was composed by S.D. Burman.
The playback singer was Mohammed Rafi.
