Cherish it while you fully understand and appreciate the metaphors used in every couplet explained in detail here, along with meanings of difficult words. 1. हम हों तेरे अश्कों में तो, हम हों ख़ुशियोँ की तरह, काश दिल में होते तुम भी, चाहे ज़ख़्मों की तरह, ham ho.n tere ashko.n me.n to, ham ho.n KHushiyo.n kii tarah, kaash dil me.n hote tum bhii, chaahe zaKHmo.n kii tarah, Tears are of two kinds, one of deep sorrow and the other one of immense happiness. She wishes to remain in his emotional world as tears of immense happiness, if at all she finds a place in that world. Essentially, she wants to be his happiness. But, in exchange, she goes far enough in sacrifice to accept his presence in her heart even if it were like wounds of their broken love affair as at least, he would still be there with her in her heart that way. 2. आज भी रहते हो दिल में, तुम बहारों की तरह, याद भी तेरी है मुझ को, अब सहारों की तरह, aaj bhii rahte ho dil me.n, tum bahaaro.n kii tarah, yaad bhii terii hai mujh ko, ab sahaaro.n kii tarah, She knows they are no more together, but he still resides in her heart like blossoming spring. Also, mere memory of him also serves to emotionally support her in her being. 3. है बहुत गर, बस जा मेरे तन में रूहों की तरह, छोड़ देना साथ फिर तुम, चाहे साँसों की तरह, hai bahut gar, bas jaa mere tan me.n ruuho.n kii tarah, chho.D denaa saath phir tum, chaahe saa.nso.n kii tarah, Now, she beseeches him to become a part of her entire existence and being like a soul is to a body, even if, he was to finally leave her like breaths leave us when we die. What a beautiful metaphoric way to tell him to stay with her as soul and breath till death. 4. तेरे बिन जाऊँ कहाँ मैं, तेरे बिन चाहूँ किसे, तू नहीं तो मैं हूँ वो, मुरझाए फूलों की तरह, tere bin jaa.uu.n kahaa.n mai.n, tere bin chaahuu.n kise, tuu nahii.n to mai.n huu.n vo, murjhaae phuulo.n kii tarah, Here is the climax of her feeling of vulnerability and helplessness in her love for him. She feels she has nowhere to go, no one to love other than him. If it were not for him, she would be like those withered flowers and buds. She repeats the hook with longings for his return to her and the song slowly fades away leaving the listener in a state of emotional humming of the song, haunted by the intoxicating melody and music.
