kya jaane use wahm hai kya meri taraf se jo khwab mein bhi raat ko tanha nahin aata i wonder to what misgivings she is prone that even in my dreams she's not alone the poet humorously exaggerates the beloved's cautiousness and lack of trust. the beloved is so guarded that even in the lover's dream—a realm usually controlled by one's own subconscious desire for intimacy—he brings a companion (likely a rival or guard) to avoid being alone with the poet.

dard ho to dawa bhi mumkin hai wahm ki kya dawa kare koi

kab tak najat paenge wahm o yaqin se hum uljhe hue hain aaj bhi duniya o din se hum

wahm ye tujh ko ajab hai ai jamal-e-kam-numa jaise sab kuchh ho magar tu did ke qabil na ho

log be-mehr na hote honge wahm sa dil ko hua tha shayad

hum jaur-paraston pe guman tark-e-wafa ka ye wahm kahin tum ko gunahgar na kar de
