" She is in deep love with him. She fought with the society for him, but now she feels so fragile. With the fear of losing him, she is afraid to convey her love. He has given her a good living, but never expressed his love. In anguish, she is dreaming about his positive response. When he comes to visit her, she is surprised and she becomes angst-ridden on his departure. She does not understand her own tormented mental condition".

The Lyrics with probable meanings are:

ہر چند سہارا ہے تیرے پیار کا دل کو

Har chaNd sahara hai tere pyar ka dil ko ! 

(Although my heart has the backing of your love, 

رہتا ہے مگر اک عجب خوف سا دل کو

Rehta hai magar ik ajab khauf sa dil ko!.. 

But, a mysterious feeling of fear is always engrossing my heart!)

وہ خواب کہ دیکھا نا کبھی ۔۔ لے گیا نیدیں  

Woh khawab ke dekha na kabhi; ley uRa neendaiN !.. 

(The dream which never realized; took away my sleeps

وہ درد کہ اٹھا نا کبھی ؛ کھا گیا دل کو

Woh dard ke utha na kabhi; khaa gaya dil ko !..

The anguish which never felt, have deeply possessed my heart!)

یہ سانس کا لینا بھی گزر جانا ہے جی سے

Ya saans ka lena bhi guzzar jana hai ji sey !.. 

(Now, taking a breath is like dying bit by bit for me,

یا مارکہ اے عشق بھی اک کھیل تھا دل کو

Ya marka-e-ishq bhi ik khel tha dil ko !.. 

Where as, at a time; the fight-for-love was just like a play for me..!)

وہ آیں تو حیراں ۔۔ وہ جایؑں پریشاں 

Woh aayeiN to heyraN woh jaayeiN to pareshaN!.. 

(When he comes, I am astonished; when he leaves, I am anguished..!)

یا رب کوییؑ سمجھاےؑ کیا ہو گیا دل کو

Yaa Rab koi samjaye yeh keya ho gya dil ko !..

O God! let someone explain, what has gone wrong with my heart..!
