Koi tujh sa ho tou naam bhi tujh sa rakhai...
Dil bhi pagal hai k uss shakhs sai wabasta hai...
Jo kisi ka honai dai naa apna rakhai...

Who here makes life long relationships?
Ohh the destroyer of my soul, may God preserve you,
I like it not when I see someone with your name,
If they were anything like you, than should they keep your name,
This heart is mad for it belongs to that person,
Who neither accepts you as their own nor lets you go to someone else,

-Ahmed Faraz
