1/4: aashna

bulbul ki tarah

shor machaate hain raat din

jo aashna-e-lazzat-e-

dard-e-nihaan nahin

like birds, they

make noise, night and day

those who are not familiar

with the sweet pangs of separation

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

2/4: aashna

khuda tujhe kisi

toofan se aashna kar de

ki tere bahr ki maujon

mein izteraab naheen

may god familiarize

you with some storms

the waves of your sea

seem a little too calm

Theme:Grit, Resilience & Courage (36)

3/4: aashna

koi aisi dava de,

chaaragar

bhool jaaun main

aashna chehre ko

give me a medicine,

my healer

that let's me forget

my beloved’s face

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)

4/4: aashna

agar dard-e-mohabbat se

na insaan aashna hota

na kuchh marne ka gham hota

na jeene ka maza hota

if one is not familiar

with the pain of love

he feels neither the sadness

of death nor the joy of life

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
