Talaak to de rahe ho Nazare kahar ke saath
Jawani bhi mere lauta do Mehar ke saath

    Does it still work if translated into English, or is the essence lost?

    Yes, I daren’t translate poetry…

    Meena Kumari was an actress in 60s.. And a poet.
    These lines would mean something like: You are divorcing me, but give me back my youth along with the Mehar(dowry).

    Of course said in a very poetic and pleasing(and sad) way.
