1/6: wasl

woh aur vaada wasl ka

qaasid naheen naheen

sach sach bata ye lafz

unhi ki zubaan ke hain

she and the promise of union

o messenger, it is not possible

tell me honestly, if these words

truly flowed from her tongue

2/6: wasl

kis se ab

aarzoo-e-wasl karen

is kharabe mein

koyi mard kahan

with whom

should i wish to meet

in these wastelands

are there any men left?

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

3/6: wasl

ho kabhi to

sharaab-e-wasl naseeb

peeye jaoon main

khoon hee kab tak

hope i’ll be fortunate to

enjoy the wine of union

for how long do i

keep drinking blood

4/6: wasl

thi wasl mein bhi

fikr-e-judaai tamaam shab

vo aaye to bhi neend

na aayi tamaam shab

even in union

the fear of separation all night

when my beloved comes

sleep escapes me all night

Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)

5/6: wasl

aur bhi dukh hain zamaane mein

mohabbat ke siva

rahatein aur bhi hain

wasl ki raahat ke siva

there are other sorrows

in this life than love’s longing

there are other comforts too

than the union with the beloved

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

6/6: wasl

kis kis tarah ki dil mein

guzarti hai hasratein

hai wasl se zyaada

mazaa intezaar ka

so many kinds of unmet desires

keep coursing through the heart

but there is more fun in the waiting

than there is in the getting
