The second line uses beautiful and deeply meaningful metaphor of breath that is unfaithful as it finally leaves us. So, the boy tells the girl, who has become equivalent of his breath due to his deep love for her, to recall him sometimes by singing his poems like words scattered by his breath when they were together, even as she slips away from him like our breath finally leaves us. 2. बो'द इतना बीच अपने कि ना मिल पाए ना, दे सुनाई ये सदा, मिटती उम्मीदों की तरह, bo'd itnaa biich apne ki naa mil pa.e naa, de sunaa.ii ye sadaa, miTtii ummiido.n kii tarah, बो'द – distance, remoteness सदा – call for help The guy painfully expresses that their differences have created huge distance between them that neither they can be together anymore nor can they hear each other’s call like our dying, failing unfulfilled wishes that can’t pay heed to our inner voices anymore. 3. तेरे घर में, ना ही आँगन में, दे तू मुझ को जगह, दिल में दे दो गज़ ज़मीं, इन मज़ारों की तरह, tere ghar me.n, naa hii aa.ngan me.n, de tuu mujh ko jagah, dil me.n de do gaz zamii.n, in mazaaro.n kii tarah, मज़ारों – tombs The guy sadly tells his girl that even if she neither gave him any place in her home nor did she welcome him at the entrance of her home, should at least bury him deep in her heart giving him enough space like one gets in tomb when buried. Here the metaphor of tomb used for her heart intensifies emotions of pains of separation. 4. वो ख़फ़ा है मुझ से, हाथों की लकीरों की तरह, उस ने ठुकराया क्यूँ, मुझ को, ख़ुदाओं की तरह, vo KHafaa hai mujh se, haatho.n kii lakiiro.n kii tarah, us ne Thukraayaa kyu.n, mujh ko, KHudaao.n kii tarah, The metaphor of lines in our palm, considered as indicative of our destiny, is used here to describe that she is as unhappy with him as his destiny described by the lines in his palm. The guy wonders why she rejected him like God himself. The guy keeps reciting the hook with immense pain and hope, requesting her not to forget him completely but to enshrine him in her heart forever even as she separates from him. The hook is repeated in so many ways with the song slowly fading away leaving a deep effect in listener’s mind and heart that makes the melodious song keep haunting.
