What "Humdard" means

The overall mood is deeply emotional, heartfelt, and expresses an intense longing for eternal togetherness and unconditional love.

पल-दो-पल की ही क्यूँ है ज़िंदगी?
Why is this life only for a fleeting moment?
इस प्यार को हैं सदियाँ काफ़ी नहीं
Even centuries are not enough for this love
तो ख़ुदा से माँग लूँ मोहलत मैं एक नई
So I would ask God for a brand new lease on time
रहना है बस यहाँ, अब दूर तुझ से जाना नहीं
I just want to stay right here, I never want to leave you now
