A thousand desires such as these

the thought is so true.."har khwaish pe damm nikale" This beautiful poetry is part of the title song of the wonderful film, "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi". In the film, it is interspersed with the original Urdu shayari by Mirza Ghalib.

"A thousand desires such as these A thousand moments to set this night on fire Reach out and you can touch them You can touch them with your silences You can reach them with your lust Rivers, mountains, rain Rain against a torrid hillscape A thousand A thousand desires such as these I loved rain as a child As a lost young man Empty landscapes bleached by a tired sun And then And then Suddenly it came like a dark unknown woman Her eyes scorched my silences Her body wrapped itself around me like a summer without end Pause me Hold me Reach me where no man has gone Crossing the seven seas With the wings of fire I fly towards nowhere And you Rivers, mountains, rain Rain against the scorched landscape of pain A thousand desires such as these A thousand moments to set this night on fire Reach out and you can touch them You can touch them with your silences You can reach them with your lust Rivers, mountains, rain Rain against a torrid hillscape A thousand A thousand desires such as these"
