garche kab dekhte ho par dekho
aarzu hain ke tum idhar dekho
ishq kya kya humein dikhata hain
aah tum bhi to ek nazar dekho
pahunche hain hum kareeb marne ke
yaani jaate hain door, agar dekho

aarzue hazaar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain
to bhi hum dil ko maar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain
to bhi hum dil ko maar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain

na nigaah, na e paiyaam, na wada
na nigaah, na e paiyaam, na wada
naam ko hum bhi yaar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain

gair hi mooride inayat hain
gair hi mooride inayat hain
hum bhi to tumse pyaar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain

phir bhi karte hain meer shababe ishq
phir bhi karte hain meer shababe ishq
hain jawa ikhtiyaar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain
to bhi hum dil ko maar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain
aarzue hazaar rakhte hain

Though you never truly see, still gaze,
My heart's desire, you turn your face.
Love unveils a thousand scenes,
Ah, look, and understand, this maze.
We near the brink, the final shore,
Departing far, if you but trace.

A thousand longings in my breast,
A thousand longings I possess,
Yet, still, I quell the heart's unrest,
A thousand longings I confess,
A thousand longings I profess,
Yet, still, I quell the heart's duress,
A thousand longings, nonetheless.

No glance, no word, no vow you keep,
No glance, no word, from slumber deep,
Yet, in name alone, my love I steep,
A thousand longings, where secrets sleep,
A thousand longings, vows to reap.

Another finds your grace, your light,
Another finds your day, your night,
Yet, from afar, I hold you tight,
A thousand longings, burning bright,
A thousand longings, shining light.

Though I, Mir, still embrace this fire,
Though I, Mir, in love aspire,
Still, I choose, with burning pyre,
A thousand longings, fueled desire,
A thousand longings, rising higher,
Yet, still, I quell the heart's attire,
A thousand longings I require,
A thousand longings, ever higher.
