Quiz: Ye shaam aur tera naam...

Most of us have probably heard the famous old song by Alamgir:

*ye shaam aur tera naam
donon kitne milte julte hein

tera naam nahin loon ga
bus tujh ko shaam kahoon ga
*

So what do you think could be her name?

Thumbs up to Khalil and madz. :slight_smile:

I heard this song when I was a kid. At that time I thought that the name would be something that rhymes with the word shaam.
But yesterday this song came in my mind for some reason. And I thought that poet is saying something deeper.

For someone in love:

  • Shaam is enchanting. So her name could be ‘Saahira’.
  • Shaam is music. So her name could be ‘Tarannum’.
  • Shaam is colorful. So her name could be … ‘Bibi Gul’ or ‘Gulabo’?!
  • Shaam is beautiful. So her name could be ‘Maah-rukh’.

Re: Quiz: Ye shaam aur tera naam…

I second Shafaq. So it’s decided. It would be Shafaq. :slight_smile:

Re: Quiz: Ye shaam aur tera naam…

hehe.
Well, in that case, he would be singing this:

tera naam nahin loon ga
bus tujh se baaz rahoon ga

Re: Quiz: Ye shaam aur tera naam…

:rotfl: so whats the name of that girl?

Re: Quiz: Ye shaam aur tera naam…

Well, we have sort of agreement here that it was Shafaq who did that.
