ख़्वाहिशें
Desires
ख़्वाहिशों का चेहरा क्यूँ
धुँधला सा लगता है
क्यूँ अनगिनत ख़्वाहिशें हैं
ख़्वाहिशों का पहरा
क्यूँ ठहरा सा लगता है
क्यूँ ये ग़लत ख़्वाहिशें हैं
Why does the face of desires
seem like blurred?
Why are there countless desires?
Why does the guard of desires
seem to be stand still?
Why are these desires wrong?
हर मोड़ पर
फिर से मुड़ जाती हैं
खिलते हुए पल में मुरझाती हैं
हैं बेशरम
फिर भी शर्माती
हैं ख़्वाहिशें
At every twist (of the road)
they turn around
In a blossoming moment, they wither
They are shameless
but still shy
They are desires
ज़िन्दगी को धीरे धीरे
डसती हैं ख़्वाहिशें
आँसू को पीते पीते
हँसती हैं ख़्वाहिशें
Desires slowly/gradually,
bite/sting life
Desires smile
while they drink/supress tears
उलझी हुई कशमकश में
उम्र कट जाती है
In tangled confusion
the lifetime is passed
आँखें मिच जाए
जो उजालों में
किस काम की ऐसी रौशनी
ओ ओ भटका के न
लाए जो किनारों पे
किस काम की ऐसी कश्ती
Eyes which are shut
in brightness
What's the use of such a light?
Oh, oh! What led you astray
and doesn't bring you ashore
What's the use of such a boat?
आँधी हर धीरे से लाती है
वादा कर धोखा दे जाती है
मुँह फेर हंस के
चिढ़ाती है ख़्वाहिशें
They gradually bring each storm
Having made promises, they keep on breaking them
After turning their faces and laughing,
desires tease.
ज़िन्दगी को धीरे धीरे
डसती हैं ख़्वाहिशें
आँसुओं को पीते पीते
हँसती है ख़्वाहिशें
Desires slowly/gradually,
bite/sting life
Desires smile
while they drink/supress tears
उलझी हुई कशमकश
में उम्र कट जाती है .
In tangled confusion
the lifetime is passed
