xvaahishoN kaa chehraa kyuuN
dhuNdhlaa saa lagtaa hai

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?
har moR par
phir se muR jaatii haiN
khilte hue pal meN murjhaatii haiN
haiN beshram
phir bhii sharmaatii
haiN xvaahisheN
At every twist (of the road)
they turn around
In a blossoming moment, they wither
They are shameless
but still shy
They are desires
zindagii ko dhiire dhiire
Dastii haiN xvaahisheN
aaNsuu ko piite piite
haNstii haiN xvaahisheN
Desires slowly/gradually,
bite/sting life
Desires smile
while they drink/supress tears
uljhii huii kashamakash meN
umr kaT jaatii hai
In tangled confusion
the lifetime is passed
aaNkheN mich jaae
jo ujaaloN meN
kis kaam kii aisii raushnii
o o bhaTkaa ke na
laae jo kinaaroN pe
kis kaam kii aisii kashtii
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?
aaNdhii har dhiire se laatii hai
vaadaa kar dhokhaa de jaatii hai
muNh pher haNs ke
chiRhaatii hai xvaahisheN
They gradually bring each storm
Having made promises, they keep on breaking them
After turning their faces and laughing,
desires tease.
zindagii ko dhiire dhiire
Dastii haiN xvaahisheN
aaNsuoN ko piite piite
haNstii hai xvaahisheN
Desires slowly/gradually,
bite/sting life
Desires smile
while they drink/supress tears
uljhii huii kashamakash
meN umr kaT jaatii hai .
In tangled confusion
the lifetime is passed
