In view of certain developlments, I find it pertinent to make a mention about \'aap\' aur \'tum\'.

Aap is an honorific substitute for you which is used for elders or persons who enjoy great social status in society whereas Tum (which also stands for you) is used for persons who are very close or younger to us. Since there is no room for formality in love, I have suggested \'tum\' in this context.

agree  jaswinder singh: In reference to the note, added as an afterthought. True- no formality in love, but in love, people are equal. Whereas our social setup or cultural psyche makes man more respectable. Female in Urdu poetics have got more respect then women in diff. lit.

If you are giving your phrase in urdu then you have to think twice.you have to avoid like tum/tumhe/tujhe words. you have to be very soft to translate in urdu.it should be soft in nature like love!!!

Let\'s close this chapter. Perhaps times have changed- Where love is explained through \'Aati kya Khandala\' or \'Karde mushkil jeena, Ishak kameena\', what difference does it make, whether you say \'aap\' or \'tum\'.

agree  Rajan Chopra: Solah aane kharA jawAb - Cent percent correct answer!

  -> Thanks for your big heart.
agree  Kamran Nadeem: The translation is perfect and altenate suggestions has been made. But this language looks too much formal. Actually In Urdu tum/tumhara represents intimacy , frankness and informality. So this does not sound natural in Perspective of Urdu culture

  -> I do agree that reality and literature are different fields. Urdu lit. esp. poetry take these expressions more softly and gives respect to femal. Male is always Muntazar of female's love. U know reality being part of culture, but we know lit/films only.
