Desires so many that I will die but my desires wont.

Hazaaro Khvaahishe asii ki har khvaahish pe dam nikle

bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhii kam nikle

 

 

Meaning: I have a thousand desires, all desires worth dying for

Though many of my desires were fulfilled, majority remained unfullfilled

Khvaahish: Desire

 

Poem By Mirza Ghalib

 

 

This is one of my favorite poems as this kinda sums up the existance of human life which  is all about desires.We have a million desires everyday from the time we born till the day we die. Some of our desires get fulfilled while others don't. With passage of time many more desires add to the long list. Even after the fulfillment of a lot of our desires we are never completely satisfied as there are still a lot of our unfulfilled desires.So we always greeding for more and more. There is no end to this, you get one thing and you already looking forward to another. As human nature we forget about the desires we got and always run after what we didn't get. In journey of life we always look at thing we didn't get instead of being thankful for what we got. Even when we raise our hands to pray to God we might forget to ask for forgiveness but we never forget to desire for prosperity, desire for love, desire for faith etc. Everyday we living is spend in desire and this lust of desire only increases and there doesnt seem  to be an end to it until the day we die and we burried with our thousands of unfulfilled desires.
