Crowded, oh World

Crowded, the world is crowded

Crowded, and the lovers are lost

Crowded, and mercy never comes

A Mulid (prophet's festival) without its leader

I come from here

Crowded

I go here

Crowded

Here or there

Crowded

Crowded, the world is crowded

Crowded and I am going to her

And I am in the midst of the crowd

She wants to hear me and I tell her

But the words don't reach her

And we have an appointment

We're going to miss our appointment

Crowded, and it's cutting me off

And if you go and do not find him there

I'll be scared to go to her again

On time for my appointment and not find her there

The people will become plenty

And I'll want to ride and fly
