ab dil ki tamanna hai to

1 / 1: Couplet

ab dil ki tamanna hai to aye kaash yahi ho

aansu ki jagah

aankh se hasrat nikal aaye

if there is just one desire of the heart

maybe...it's just this

instead of tears

dreams flow from my eyes

Ahmad Faraz (21)

dil (101)

heart

wish, desire

if only

tears

place

aankh (11)

eyes, eye

desire, mostly unmet

come out, emerge
