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 !!
