hazaaron Khvaahishen aisii

1, hazaaron Khvaahishen aisii ki har Khvaahish pe dam nikale
bahut nikale mere armaan lekin phir bhii kam nikale

KHvaahish ख़्वाहिश خواہش = wish, request, inclination, will
Dam = breath, life, vitality, moment
Armaan अरमान ارمان = Desire

(A thousand yearnings have I, each one to die for
Many a desire have I fulfilled yet many more remain)

koii is dil kaa haal kyaa jaane
ek KHvaahish hazaar tah-KHaane*
(*basements/ underground layers) #Shakeb Jalali

jaane tab kyo.n suuraj kii Khvaahish karate hain log
jab baarish mein sab diivaaren girane lagatii hain
#Salim Kauser

2. nikalnaa Khuld se Aadam kaa sunte aaye hain lekin
bahut be-aabaru hokar tere kuuche se ham nikale

KHuld ख़ुल्द خلد = paradise, heaven =
be-aabaru=disgrace, dishonourable
kuuchaa=street

(Am familiar with stories of Adam’s expulsion from Paradise yet,
Very dishonourable was my exit from your street)

ham Khuld se nikal to gaye hain par ai Khuda
itane se vaaqaye* kaa fasaanaa^ bahut huaa
#Faraz

*incident
^ story, tale, fiction

3. muhabbat mein nahiin hai farq jeene aur marne kaa
usii ko dekh kar jeete hain jis kaafir pe dam nikale

farq फ़र्क़ فرق = difference,
kafir = here beloved

(In love the difference between life and death is blurred
The sight of the same beloved gives me life, for whom I want to die)

Khudaa ke vaaste pardaa na kaabe se uThaa zaalim
Kahiin aisaa na ho yaa.N bhii vahii kaafir sanam nikale
