sometimes fearing hell
sometimes desiring heaven

4 / 4: khwaahish
hazaaron khwaahishen aisi ki
har khwaahish pe dum nikle
bahut nikle mere armaan
lekin phir bhi kam nikle
thousands of aspirations
each would consume a life
many desires came true
but still just not enough
thousands
desires
desire, aspiration
breath, life
emerge, come out
too much or many
wish, hope
