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.

tirī aarzū tirī justujū meñ bhaTak rahā thā galī galī
mirī dāstāñ tirī zulf hai jo bikhar bikhar ke sañvar ga.ī

khul gaya un ki aarzu mein ye raaz
zist apni nahin parai hai

kisī ko ham na mile aur ham ko tū na milā
yahan kisi ko bhi kuchh hasb-e-arzu na mila
kisi ko hum na mile aur hum ko tu na mila

lutf duna ho jo donon ghar mere aabaad hon

I'm fearful when I see this heart so hopeless and forlorn
why shouldn't this home be desolate, as the guest has gone
Darta hun dekh kar dil-e-be-arzu ko main
