To whom, of all people, will we explain

Admittedly, our relationship (is)

mundane appearances, come
Let it be sorrow,
Come to inflict

Come, (if only)
to once again abandon me!
Come, let it be sorrow!
To inflict pain on my heart,
come, let it be sorrow!

ranjish hii sahii (Urdu: رنجش ہی سہی, Hindi: रंजिश ही सही) "Let there be sorrow!" is a ghazal originally written by the celebrated Urdu poet Ahmed Faraz, and its music was composed by Nisar Bazmi.
Later, Indo-Pakistani singer Mehdi Hasan
, known as "The King of Ghazal", added
a verse in his rendition "Maana ki Mohabbat ka". That verse is present in this Coke Studio rendition.
The poem, of incredible beauty, speaks about a person deeply in love, who doesn't resign himself to the end of a relationship. He asks his former lover to come to him, even for the sake of appearances, in order to retain any sort of contact.
The song in the video is skillfully rendered by Pakistani singer/songwriter Ali Sethi.
It contains arrangements to make the ghazal more suitable to modern taste, but it remains beautifully moving.
