Sher on Aarzoo

Our yearnings, or desires,

characterize us as human beings. In fact, we live most of our lives desiring, yearning, or pining for one thing or the other. There are many facets to this experience; some of them are sweet while others are sour. This selection will take you along and help you appreciate some of these conditions of our existence.

na bhar ke dekhā na kuchh baat

baḌī aarzū thī mulāqāt

na ji bhar ke dekha na kuchh baat ki

baDi aarzu thi mulaqat ki

Bashir Badr

hazāroñ ḳhvāhisheñ aisī ki har ḳhvāhish pe dam nikle

bahut nikle mire armān lekin phir bhī kam nikle

I have a thousand yearnings , each one afflicts me so

Many were fulfilled for sure, not enough although

hazaron KHwahishen aisi ki har KHwahish pe dam nikle

bahut nikle mere arman lekin phir bhi kam nikle

I have a thousand yearnings , each one afflicts me so

Many were fulfilled for sure, not enough although
