hazaron KHwahishen aisi ki har KHwahish par dam nikle
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
Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
The couplet captures the endlessness of human wanting: desires are so overpowering that each seems life-draining. Even when some dreams are fulfilled, satisfaction remains out of reach, because the heart keeps multiplying new demands. The metaphor of “breath leaving” intensifies the emotional weight of longing and exhaustion.
