Ghazal fnord

These are some of the lyrics to an Indian Ghazal, Mera Kuch Samaan from the movie Izazat, where some poor girl is demanding her romantic baggage back. Apparently her guy pwned her and now she pwns him back with this mindfuck of a song, with an ending on fatalistic lines.
Ek akeli chhatri mein aadhe aadhe bheeg rahe thhe
Aadhe sookhe
Aaadhe geele
Sookhaa to main le aayee thee
Geelaa mann shayad bistar ke paas pada ho
Woh bhijwaa do
Mera woh samaan lauta do.

116 Chaand ki raatein
Ek tumhare kaan ki kaaten
Geeli mehndi ki khushboo
Jhooth mooth ke shikwe
Jhooth mooth ke waade bhi sab yaad kara do
Sab bhijwa do
Mera woh samaan lauta do
