Friends,
I am having some difficulty understanding the 2 starting lines of the song "Dost". (Sung by Abida Parveen in Coke Studio Season 7)
kahuuN dost se dost kii baat kyaa kyaa
rahii dushmanoN se mulaaqaat kyaa kyaa
I understand the individual words, and I understand this is perhaps mystic poetry and highly interpretative, but no way on earth they can become what is offered as a translation:
What wondrous secrets should I speak of to the Friend who lives in His friend’s heart?
What moment was spent in the thought of anything but Him?
My attempt would be:
How should I speak (at all) to a friend of friend's matters?
What encounter was left (at all), with the enemies?
... which, admittedly, doesn't make great sense either.
Please help me interpret this.

Thanks in advance
