You dissolve in the wind,
You appear in dreams,
Why this game of hide-and-seek? Hoo...
You dissolve in the wind,
You appear in dreams,
Why this game of hide-and-seek?
In the name of Allah, I summon you!
Stop this game of yours!
Your spells and dark tricks,
Drop them and come out!
Your illusions and magic,
Drop them and come out!
No more jumping from body to body,
Drop it and come out!
Come out, come out, come out!
You dissolve in the wind,
You appear in dreams,
Why this game of hide-and-seek?
In the name of Allah, I summon you!
Stop this game of yours!
(Humming...)
If you try to steal a life,
You will lie dead with your own life severed!
I will put an end to your hatred!
Are you an ally of death?
Are you an enemy of God?
I will settle your score!
Even if you run in all eight directions,
I will not let you escape!
Whatever form you take,
I will not turn my eyes away!
Not a single more soul,
Will I let you touch!
Your wicked grudges,
I will not let win!
Pain cannot be allowed,
Listen to me!
Hatred will not survive,
Just watch!
You must not cross your limits!
Nature will never allow it!
Why bring uncalled-for curses with your wicked rage?
You dissolve in the wind,
You appear in dreams,
Why this game of hide-and-seek?
In the name of Allah, I summon you!
Stop this game of yours!
Why do you need a borrowed body,
To live even after death?
You will have no place even in the afterlife!
Draw your sword and step outside!
Come fight me one-on-one!
Try to win on an honest path!
A monster and a protector,
Are never equal here!
Treachery and deceit,
Have never survived here!
To face your final reckoning,
Come and stand before me!
Evil will only reap evil deeds,
Kneel right here!
I am going to end your savage rage!
I am coming to set fire to your breath!
Come with your hands tied under my command!
Today is your final day, so face me!
Just to destroy you,
I have taken this form!
You dissolve in the wind,
You appear in dreams,
Why this game of hide-and-seek?
In the name of Allah, I summon you!
Stop this game of yours!
Your spells and dark tricks,
Drop them and come out!
Your illusions and magic,
Drop them and come out!
No more jumping from body to body,
Drop it and come out!
Come out, come out, come out!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This track is an intense, exorcism-style battle chant where the protagonist addresses a malignant spirit or demonic entity hiding in the shadows. Invoking divine power and righteousness (specifically calling upon the divine name of Allah), the protagonist commands the malevolent force to stop playing mind games, spirit-jumping, and using dark magic. The lyricist emphasizes that evil deeds never flourish, and boundary-crossing supernatural torment violates the laws of nature. The song builds into a fierce declaration of war, warning the evil spirit that its time is up and that the protagonist has taken a formidable stance specifically to vanquish it once and for all.

Trivia

Composed by 'Thenisai Thendral' Deva for the horror-thriller film P2 (2024), this song combines traditional Islamic spiritual exorcism themes with heavy acoustic and percussion arrangements. Lyricist Snehan uses classical Tamil terminology such as 'Koodu vitu koodu paaya' (astral projection/spirit displacement) alongside divine chants.
