اس کو جدا ہوئے بھی زمانہ بہت ہوا
اب کیا کہیں یہ قصہ پرانا بہت ہوا(Usko juda hue bhi zamana bohat hua
Ab kya kahein yeh kissa puraana bohat hua)"Acha overreact nahi karo. Ammi se mil aaun main, Zaim tum betho!"
(Okay don't over react! I'll go meet her. Zaim you sit!)
Murtaza went to his mother's room, leaving them all alone.
Zaim casually sat on their sofa, immersed in his mobile, completely ignoring her.
He didn't feel good ignoring her, but he had to.
"Kuch khaaoge?"
(Do you want something?)Mahrosh asked in formality. To which he only nodded his head in no, without looking at her.
Mahrosh left, sensing his disinterest.

They were sitting in Murtaza's room, which was quite lavish, playing chess.
Nusrat's qawwali in the background made the game more engrossing.ذکر اک بے وفا اور سِتَم گَر کا تھا
آپ کا ایسی باتوں سے کیا واسطہ
آپ تو بے وفا اور سِتَم گَر نہیں
آپ نے کس لیے منہ اُدھر کر لیاZikr ek bewafa aur sitamgar ka tha
Aap ka aisi baato se kya waasta
Aap toh bewafa aur sitam gar nahi
Aap ne kis liye mun udhar karliya?(The mention was of an unfaithful and cruel one,
What connection do such words have with you?
You are not unfaithful and cruel,
Why did you take offense at this?)بے قراری ملے گی لٹے گا سکون
چین چھن جائے گا نیند اُڑ جائے گی
اپنا انجام سب ہم کو معلوم تھا
آپ سے دل کا سودا مگر کر لیاBeqarari mile gi lutega sakoon
Chain chinn jaayega neend ud jaayegi
Apna anjaam sab hamko maaloom tha
Aap se dil ka soda magr karliya.(Restlessness will be found, peace will be robbed,
Tranquility will be shattered, sleep will flee.
I knew my fate all along,
Yet, I made the deal of the heart with you.)"Yaara shaadi karle! Teri shaadi per main nusrat (sahab) ki woh gaana nahi dulhe ka sehraa suhaana lagta hai, us gaane per dance karunga. I badly want to dance on someone's wedding!"
(Dude, get married! At your wedding, I'll dance to that song by Nusrat (Sahab). "Dulhe ka sehra suhana lagta hai" - I badly want to dance at someone's wedding.)
Murtaza said, out of nowhere.
"Khud karlo agar zyada shouq chadh raha hai! Right now i think i wouldn't be able to fulfil any commitment. Yah phir Faris ki shaadi aarahi hai do teen hafto mein,usper karlena dance"
(Do it yourself if you're so eager! Right now, I don't think I'll be able to fulfill any commitment. Or Faris's wedding is coming up in a couple of weeks, you can dance at his wedding)
Zaim said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Nah chehdo hamein ham sataye hue hain. Bohatt zakhm seene per khaaye hue hain. Sitamgar ho tum khoob phenchaante hain!"
