Analysis of Hold Me Before
I dance, and I dance
In the way of Qalandari
I wait, and I wait for
The dream of hopes
As all lovers adopt that
I still stay alone,
Bearing the burden of loneliness,
Looking forward to your coming
Since I keep my words
As I promised with You
Even I have no idea
You were, and are real or fake
However, I risk all that
For only your sake
Whenever You realize
You will understand
The purity, sincerity
And the definition of true love
I am yours; I am yours
I stay yours only
Come and hold me, in your arms
Before I sink
In the sea of disappointment
