havaa : 'Air, atmosphere, ether, the space between heaven and earth; —air, wind, gentle gale; —a gas; —flight; ... —rumour, report; —credit, good name; —affection, favour, love, mind, desire, passionate fondness; lust, carnal desire, concupiscence;—an empty or worthless thing'. (Platts p.1239)
havaa ho jaanaa : 'To fly with the velocity of the wind; to run with the wind; -- to scamper off, to vanish, disappear'. (Platts pp.1239-40)

MOTIFS == DREAMS; SCRIPT EFFECTS

TERMS == AMBIGUITYThe second line also offers the enjoyable script effect of the havaa hu))aa , which could perfectly well be read, on a first encounter, as hu))aa hu))aa , since the second verb might go on to apply to a following clause.
Our sleep has 'vanished' [havaa ho jaanaa]-- or else it has turned into havaa , with its rich array of possible meanings (see the definition above). Then the rest of the second line takes elegant advantage of the possibilities of the future subjunctive. Here are some ways in which it could be read:
='Our sleep/dream would not be like the sleep/dream of [other] people'-- because we can't sleep at all, or because our dreams have a special visionary efficacy.
='Our [idea of] sleep/dream might not be like the [idea of] sleep/dream of [other] people'-- because we might have a special notion of what it means to 'sleep/dream', and other people might have no sense of such an inner reality at all.
='May our sleep/dream not be like the sleep/dream of [other] people'!-- may they not sleep the way we do! Because no one would wish such dire sleeplessness on others; or else because the lover wouldn't wish others to share his vision of the beloved.
='May our sleep/dream not be like the sleep/dream of [other] people'!-- may we not sleep the way they do! Because we revel in our visionary dreams, or even in our sleeplessness, since it's all a part of our grand passion.
