i don't know much of urdu, but then knowing hindi helps to understand what this is about. "Beet e Lamhaat" I guess is, "Beet e Lamhey" Or "Moments Gone by" in english. My interpretation is that this is a sad love poem, when the poet talks about his lover who is gone, and how time goes by and moments shared have also gone in real but they last in memory. Somebody who can understand urdu better, will be relishing the true beauty of this poetry.
And if somebody can translate this beautiful piece, I am sure it would be appreciated.
