Sher on Tamanna

Our wishes, desires,

and yearning keep us on move all the time. After all, what is man if not propelled by desires? The fulfillment of desire brings our journey to an end but the unfulfilled ones afford us a chance to understand life philosophically. Here is a small collection of verses around this theme. Hope you enjoy this.

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

insāñ ḳhvāhishoñ koī intihā nahīñ

āshiqī sabr-talab aur tamannā betāb

dil kyā rañg karūñ ḳhūn-e-jigar hote tak

Love has a need for patience, desires are a strain

as long my ache persists, how shall my heart sustain
