"Di...bolo na vo..voo thik hai. Bolo na di," Ayesha asked her, but Niharika could not console her. "Bacha," Ayesha pulled her apart from Niharika and left for her room.

Aahir:- Dukhaaun main dil jaate jaate tera
Mera aisa koi iraada nahi

Chhupa lunga main hans ke aansu mere
Yeh teri khushi se toh zyada nahi
