A GREAT LOVE AND A FEW WORDS

---- A few more lines born out of the boring afternoons that I spend at my workplace----

"Tareef kar sakoon,teri bheegi palkoon ki,

Lafzoon mein itna dum kahan;

Bhool jaaon saath bitaye woh lamhe,
Duniya mein itna Ghum kahan.

Bhula sakoon tere pyar ko mein,
itni mohabbat kahan jahan mein;
Jahan tere saaye ki thandi chaoon ho,
Bita sakoon ek lamha wahan mein.
Bita sakoon ek lamha wahan mein........

ON LOVE

Here are a few random words as my tribute to the great lyricist 'Sahir Luhianvi' whose songs were a magical addiction to people who believe that there's prose behind every human emotion and who understand that words that can't strike the mind can never settle in the heart

"कद्मूं तले हमारे , एक ज़मीं भी न थी कभी ,

आस है एक आसमाँ की , मोहब्बत-ऐ खुदा से फीर भी .


जींदगी में मोहब्बत की कमीं तों न थी कभी ,


तर्सेगा तेरे प्यार को ये अकेला मॅन फीर भी .


यूँ तों कमीं न थी एक हमसफ़र के आंचल की कभी


तर्सेगा तेरे साथ को ये अकेला दील फीर भी .


याद करेंगे तन्हाई में बीते लम्हूं को जब हम कभी


रो दीया करेंगे चुपके से , बीन आँसू कभी-कभी
. "
