Nostalgia and sheer poetry !!!
Today as I was riding to class in the morning there was a soft drizzle accompanying me as I went and out of nowhere this song came into my mind.. this song brings back memories old and new and always makes me do into deep introspection when I listen to it or think about it....
MERA KUCH SAMAN TUMHARE PAAS PADHE HAI
MERA KUCH SAMAN TUMHARE PAAS PADHE HAI
O SAWAN KE KUCH BHEEGE BHEEGE DIN RAKHE HAI
AUR MERE EK KHAT MEIN LIPTI RAAT PADI HAI
YEH RAAT BHULA DO MERA WOH SAMAN LAUTA DO
YEH RAAT BHULA DO MERA WOH SAMAN LAUTA DO
MERA KUCH SAMAN TUMHARE PAAS PADHE HAI
MERA KUCH SAMAN TUMHARE PAAS PADHE HAI
PATAJHAD HAI KUCH.... HAI NA?
O PATAJHAD MEIN KUCH PATION KI.. GIRNE KE AAHAT,
KANO MEIN EK BAAR PAHAN KE LAUT AAYI THI,
PATAJHAD KE WOH SHAAKH ABHI TAK KAAP RAHI HAI,
WOH SHAAKH GIRA DO,MERA WOH SAMAN LAUTA DO,
WOH SHAAKH GIRA DO, MERA WOH SAMAN LAUTA DO
EK AKELI CHAATARE MEIN JAB AADHE AADHE BHEEG RAHE THE, EK AKELI CHAATARE MEIN JAB AADHE AADHE BHEEG REHA THE
AADHE SUKHE AADHE GEELE, SUKHA THO MEIN LE AAYI THI
GEELA MAIN SHAYAD BISTAR KE PAAS PADHA HON
WOH BHIJWADO, MERA WOH SAMAN LAUTA DO
EK SAU SOLA CHAAND KI RAATEIN, EK TUMHARE KAANDHE KA TIL, EK SAU SOLA CHAAND KI RAATEIN, EK TUMHARE KAANDHE KA TIL
GEELI MEHNDI KI KHUSHBOO, JHOOT MOOTH KE SHIKWE KUCH
JHOOTH MOOTH KE WADE SAAB YAAD KARA DO
SAB BHIJWADO, MERA WOH SAMAN LAUTA DO
SAB BHIJWADO, MERA WOH SAMAN LAUTA DO
EK IJJAZAT DE DO BAS, JAB ISKO DAFANAOGE
MAIN BHI WAHI SOO JAUNGEE
MAIN BHI WAHI SOO JAUNGEE
The poetry is so soft yet so strong in what it tries to convey... I always am moved when thinking about the pain of the woman who is asking her lost lover to return her things... things which can be only felt and burnt unto memories... and never be returned...
SIGH and this is what rainy days does for me... I guess I need pakodas now .... will have to make do with tea !!! hehe !!
