aankh ki ye ek hasrat thi
ki bas poori hui
aansuon mein bheeg jaane ki
havas poori hui
the eye held a longing
that is now fulfilled
the craving to bathe in tears
is now quenched
Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)
bhari hai dil mein jo hasrat
kahoon to kis se kahoon
sune hai kaun museebat
the longings of my heart
with whom shall i share
who listens to my travails
to whom shall i recount
Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
ab dil ki tamanna hai to
aye kaash yahi ho
aansu ki jagah
aankh se hasrat nikal aaye
if there is just one desire of the heart
maybe...it's just this
instead of tears
dreams flow from my eyes
Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)
aarzoo hasrat aur
ummeed shikaayat aansu
ek tera zikr tha aur
beech mein kya kya nikla
wishes, desires, and
hopes, complaints, tears
thinking of you
what all have turned out
Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)
aata hai daag-e-hasrat-e-dil
ka shumaar yaad
mujh se mere gunah ka hisaab
aye khuda, na maang
the painful scars of unmet desires
keep coming to my mind
don't from me also ask, oh god,
an account of my sins
baad marne ki bhi na chhoDi
rifaaqat meri
meri turbat se lagi baithi hai
hasrat meri
even after my death
my love did not leave me
my desires stay shackled
to my grave
Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
hasrat ye us
musaafir-e-bekas ke roye
jo thak ke baith jaata
ho manzil ke saamne
shed tears for the unfulfilled
desires of that helpless traveler
who sits tired by the road
with his destination in sight
Theme:Quest, Journey & Destination (44)
chal saath ki hasrat
dil-e-marhoom se nikle
aashiq ka janaaza hai
zara dhoom se nikle
let’s walk along…as wishes
spring from the heart of the dead
it’s a lover’s funeral procession
let it be with pomp and celebration
gham mujhe, hasrat mujhe
vahshat mujhe, saudaa mujhe
ek dil de kar khuda ne
de diya kya kya mujhe
sorrow, unfulfilled desires
craziness, passion, and frenzy
by giving me a heart, o god,
what all have you set me up with?
kuchh qafas ki teeliyon se
chhan rahaa hai noor sa
kuchh faza kuchh
hasrat-e-parvaaz ki baaten karo
through the bars of the cage
some light is seeping through
speak of the expanse
speak of the desire to fly
