hazaron khvahishen aisi ki har khvahish pe dam nikle bahut nikle mire arman lekin phir bhi kam nikle

i have a thousand yearnings , each one afflicts me so many were fulfilled for sure, not enough although the couplet captures the endlessness of human wanting: desires are so overpowering that each seems life-draining. even when some dreams are fulfilled, satisfaction remains out of reach, because the heart keeps multiplying new demands. the metaphor of “breath leaving” intensifies the emotional weight of longing and exhaustion.

in hasraton se kah do kahin aur ja basen itni jagah kahan hai dil-e-daghh-dar men

tell all my desires to go find another place in this scarred heart alas there isn't enough space the speaker addresses their own “hasratein” (unfulfilled desires) as if they were people occupying space. the heart is portrayed as already stained with pain—so full of wounds that it cannot hold any new cravings. the emotional core is exhaustion: sorrow has crowded the inner world, leaving no capacity for further yearning.

insan ki khvahishon ki koi intiha nahin do gaz zamin bhi chahiye do gaz kafan ke baad

aarzu hai ki tu yahan aae aur phir umr bhar na jaae kahin

kuchh nazar aata nahin us ke tasavvur ke siva hasrat-e-didar ne ankhon ko andha kar diya

save visions of her, nothing comes to mind the longing for her sight surely turned me blind

aarzu hasrat aur ummid shikayat aansu ik tira zikr tha aur biich men kya kya nikla

kis kis tarah ki dil men guzarti hain hasraten hai vasl se ziyada maza intizar ka

katti hai aarzu ke sahare pe zindagi kaise kahun kisi ki tamanna na chahiye

dil men vo bhiid hai ki zara bhi nahin jagah aap aaiye magar koi arman nikal ke

arman vasl ka miri nazron se taad ke pahle hi se vo baith gae munh bigad ke

zindagi ki zaruraton ka yahan hasraton men shumar hota hai

hasraton ka ho gaya hai is qadar dil men hujum saans rasta dhundhti hai aane jaane ke liye

ek bhi khvahish ke hathon men na mehndi lag saki mere jazbon men na dulha ban saka ab tak koi

jiine valon se kaho koi tamanna dhunden ham to asuda-e-manzil hain hamara kya hai

mai-kade ko ja ke dekh aauun ye hasrat dil men hai zahid us mitti ki ulfat meri ab-o-gil men hai

mahaz khvabon khayalon men tira didar ho kab tak haqiqat men bhi tujh se ashnai chahte hain ham

ajiib vaqt hai ab doston ke chaqu ko mire qalam ki nahin ungliyon ki hasrat hai

dubta huun to mujhe haath kai milte hain kitni hasrat se kinaron ki taraf dekhta huun

apne angan men parinde dekh kar jism ki tahni se ud jaate hain ham

sab khvahishen puuri hon 'faraz' aisa nahin hai jaise kai ashar mukammal nahin hote

hazaron khvahishen aisi ki har khvahish pe dam nikle bahut nikle mire arman lekin phir bhi kam nikle

khvab, ummid, tamannaen, taalluq, rishte jaan le lete hain akhir ye sahare saare

kis kis tarah ki dil men guzarti hain hasraten hai vasl se ziyada maza intizar ka

aarzu vasl ki rakhti hai pareshan kya kya kya bataun ki mere dil men hai arman kya kya

dil men vo bhiid hai ki zara bhi nahin jagah aap aaiye magar koi arman nikal ke

baad marne ke bhi chhodi na rifaqat meri meri turbat se lagi baithi hai hasrat meri

even after death my love did not forsake at my grave my desires kept a steady wake

zindagi ki zaruraton ka yahan hasraton men shumar hota hai

khvahishon ne dubo diya dil ko varna ye bahr-e-be-karan hota

yaar pahlu men hai tanhai hai kah do nikle aaj kyuun dil men chhupi baithi hai hasrat meri

my love beside me, solitude, tell them to play a part why do my desires cower hidden in my heart

jiine valon se kaho koi tamanna dhunden ham to asuda-e-manzil hain hamara kya hai

dekhna hasrat-e-didar ise kahte hain phir gaya munh tiri janib dam-e-murdan apna

mahaz khvabon khayalon men tira didar ho kab tak haqiqat men bhi tujh se ashnai chahte hain ham

faqat ankhen charaghhon ki tarah se jal rahi hain kisi ki dastaras men hai kahan koi sitara

dubta huun to mujhe haath kai milte hain kitni hasrat se kinaron ki taraf dekhta huun

kab alam aur hasraten apni kahen ai dostan raat ko bulbul hain ham aur din ko parvane hain ham
