Tere Pyar Ki Tamanna English Translation

Tere Pyar Ki Tamanna, translates to English as, my wish for your love... It was a 1985 Hindi song from the film Twaif, and sung by Mahendra kapoor. The music composer was Ravi Shankar, and the lyrics were by Hasan Kamal. Rishi Kapoor was the actor in the movie. Tamanna approximates to a wish or longing within a heart.

At first he sounds as if he is saying sadness (gamm) remains with him like a shadow (saaye), however he also describes it as life’s shadow. He describes the darkness being so strong that it can even extinguish a flame (chiragh), which represents his hopes. Faza approximates to lamentation or a type of sorrow, which is not in his control (bus).

Hope is something we all live with because nobody yet knows how to destroy it. Sometimes we hope that the people who did wrong to us will set things right again, however they never do. Perhaps it is better to fix things yourself -- if it is within your control -- and keep moving forward.
