1/10: tamanna

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)

2/10: tamanna

har ik shikast-e-tamanna pe

muskuraate hain

woh kya karen jo

musalsal fareb khaate hain

at every broken dream

they smile

what can they do who

always suffer deceit

Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)

3/10: tamanna

abhi hain qurb ke

kuchh aur marhale baaqi

ke tujh ko pa ke hamen

phir teri tamanna hai

there are still stages

of closeness left

after attaining you

i still yearn for you

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

4/10: tamanna

aagahi karb vafaa

sabr tamanna ehsaas

mere hi seene mein

utre hain ye khanjar saare

awareness…pain…loyalty

patience…desire…feeling

in this my one chest

plunged have these daggers all

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)

5/10: tamanna

yeh kis ne phone pe di

saal-e-nau ki tahneeyat mujh ko

tamanna raqs karti hai

takhayyul gungunaata hai

when this someone called to

wish me a new year on the phone

desire dances around me

my imagination stars to sing

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

6/10: tamanna

ek khwaab ka khayaal hai

duniya kahen jise

hai is mein ek tilism

tamanna kahen jise

the thoughts of a dream

that which we call the world

in this there is a spell

that which we call desire

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

7/10: tamanna

hum na maanenge khamoshi hai

tamanna ka mizaaj

haan bhari bazm mein

woh bol na paayi hogi

i do not concede silence is

the temperament of desire

yes, maybe she couldn’t

speak out in a crowded gathering

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

8/10: tamanna

na sataish ki tamanna

na silay ki parwah

agar nahi hain mere ashar

mein maane na sahi

no craving for appreciation

nor a concern for reward

if my words makes no sense

it is what it is

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

9/10: tamanna

sarfaroshi ki tamanna

ab hamare dil mein hai

dekhna hai zor kitna

baazu-e-qaatil mein hai

the desire to sacrifice

is raging in my heart

we shall see how much power

there is the assassin's arms

Theme:Oppression, Rebellion & Freedom (38)

10/10: tamanna

aashiqui sabr-talab

aur tamanna betaab

dil ka kya rang karuun

khoon-e-jigar hote tak

love demands patience

but desire is restless

how shall i color my heart

until it is finally vanquished

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)
