✍️ Urdu Poetry
ہزاروں خواہشیں ایسی کہ ہر خواہش پہ دم نکلے؛ بہت نکلے میرے ارمان لیکن پھر بھی کم نکلے
Hazaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle; Bohat nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle.
Thousands of desires, each so intense that they could take my breath; Many of my dreams came true, yet they still felt too few.
