حروف شو يعني ماتقول لو تكتب وتبوح ما تزيد عليا
ب هالغنيه حنيه ماعاد تأثر فيا
القصه هي خلصت من زمان
ه الغنيه البدائيه ماعاد تحرك فيا الانسانيه خلصت من زمان
The lyrics of "Kalam" by Tarabband express the singer's confusion and frustration with the meaning behind another person's words. The singer wonders why the other person's voice is concealed, making it even more difficult to understand what they are trying to say. The singer finds it strange and frustrating, and can't help but feel that the other person is intentionally withholding information or keeping secrets from them.
Despite this frustration, the singer has come to a realization that the situation has already been resolved long ago. The singer expresses their disappointment that this basic human connection, the ability to communicate and understand each other, has been lost. The singer feels as though they have been left behind, unable to move forward or connect with others. The simple melody and emotive vocals add to the melancholic feeling of the song.
Overall, "Kalam" is a song about the difficulties of human communication and the feeling of being left behind by those who can't or won't connect with us. It is a poignant expression of the universal struggle to understand each other and the emotional toll it can take.

لا آني الذي عالهوه صاير حرب لاله
چالطفل ذبني أبمهد وأبنغمته لاله
وظل گلبي يتناوبه أنهاره وسَهر لاله
أولا منفذ الــــيــــنــفــــتـح ويطل يَره بالطل
الطل يذوب أوصرت أرسم صور بالطل
گلما صحت يا گلب أترگ ولگ بالطل
يا خذله خفگه خفگتين أوصرخ لاله
