Essentially, they are unable to move on, still love each other and yearn to be together. 3. हम तुझे जा मिले, ख़ुद भी हम मिट गए, फिर भी ये दूरी क्यूँ, ना कभी ये मिटी, ham tujhe jaa mile, KHud bhii ham miT ga.e, phir bhii ye duurii kyuu.n, naa kabhii ye miTii, The guy wonders why, even after he surrenders and sacrifices himself completely to her, the distance between them never fades. 4. तू क्यूँ ग़म दे गया, दिल में ग़म रह गया, हम ना ख़ुद के रहे, ना किसीके हुए, तू किसी का हुआ, क्यूँ ना मेरा बना, वक़्त के मोड़ पे, क्यूँ रुके रह गए, तू क्यूँ सपना रहा, तू ना अपना बना, हम तेरे इश्क़ में, फिर भी होंगे फना, tuu kyuu.n Gam de gayaa, dil me.n Gam rah gayaa, ham naa KHud ke rahe, naa kisii ke hu.e, tuu kisii ka hu.aa, kyuu.n naa meraa banaa, vaqt ke moD pe, kyuu.n ruke rah ga.e, tuu kyuu.n sapnaa rahaa, tuu naa apnaa banaa, ham tere 'ishq me.n, phir bhii honge fanaa, She painfully asks that why he inflicted on her so much pain that stayed in her heart forever, preventing her from belonging to herself or belonging to someone else. She further complains with aching heart that why he became someone else’s but not hers. At least, for her the time remains frozen in the moment of their togetherness. The guy also complains why she remained a dream for him and never became his. Nevertheless, he will completely give himself away to her love. 5. तू बना रहनुमा, फिर भी ये ज़ीस्त को, रहगुज़र ना मिली, खो गई सब दिशा, ये कहानी मेरी, वो ये साहिल पे ही, रेत पे थी लिखी, लिख के यूँ रह गई, मौज से मिट गई, रेत फिर रह गई, tuu banaa rahnumaa, phir bhii ye ziist ko, rahguzar naa milii, kho ga.ii sab dishaa, ye kahaanii merii, vo ye saahil pe hii, ret pe thii likhii, likh ke yuu.n rah ga.ii, mauj se miT ga.ii, ret phir rah ga.ii, रहनुमा – guide ज़ीस्त – life रहगुज़र – road or favoured path The girl states he became the guide for her life’s journey, but still, she struggles to find right direction for her path in life. Leading to conclusion, she says her story is inscribed on the seashore sand metaphorically her heart. While the guy concludes by saying that their story got washed away by waves metaphorically representing adverse circumstances surrounding their love relationship, leaving behind only seashore sand metaphorically their barren, desolate, dejected hearts.
