Urdu: 1.
ہزاروں خواہشیں ایسی کہ ہر خواہش پہ دم نکلے
بہت نکلے میرے ارمان لیکن پھر بھی کم نکلے
2.
دل ہی تو ہے نہ سنگ و خشت درد سے بھر نہ آئے کیوں
روئیں گے ہم ہزار بار، کوئی ہمیں ستائے کیوں
English: 1.
Thousands of desires, each one enough to take my breath away,
Many of my wishes were 😌😄😆Fulfilled, yet it still felt too few.
2.
It’s just a heart, not stone or brick—why shouldn't it fill with paiN?
We will Cry a thousand times, why should anyone hurt us again?
