The mood is intimate, passionate, and yearning, driven by memories of the beloved and a strong desire to eliminate all distance and be held in their arms forever.

जागी-जागी, सोई ना मैं सारी रात तेरे लिए
I stayed awake all night, unable to sleep, all for you.
भीगी-भीगी पलकें मेरी उदास तेरे लिए
My eyelashes are wet with tears and my heart is sad for you.
अखियाँ बिछाईं मैंने तेरे लिए, दुनिया भुलाई मैंने तेरे लिए
I laid down my eyes in anticipation for you, and I forgot the whole world for you.
जन्नतें सजाईं मैंने तेरे लिए, छोड़ दी ख़ुदाई मैंने तेरे लिए
I adorned heavens just for you, and I even let go of divinity itself for you.
