Throwing aside my unfinished book revus, I thought why I don?t I write this for a change. For once it is the mushy part of me getting better of my cynical half.
I close my eyes and fly to a Utopian land- to the woods, which were never visited, the untrodden hills, the placid water? I feel drowsy in the beauty of the landscape and catch his smile in the gleam of the sunrays.
A spell befalls me?a fascinating and strange feeling overpowers me?a queer feeling of excitement, which is not fully understood?perhaps this is what happens when you are with your beloved.
Unknown to myself, I start humming a tune and turning my head towards him, I say
?these songs are dedicated to you?
hamne dekhi hai in aankhon ki mahkti khushubu
haath se chuke ise rishton kaa ilzaam na do
sirf ehsaas hai ye ruh se mahasus karo
pyaar ko pyaar hi rahane do koi naam na do
hamane dekhii hai .
(I?ve seen the fragrance in your eyes
Don?t spoil this relationship by touching it
it is just a feeling to be experienced with your soul
Let Love remain Love? just don?t name it)
This song from?Khamoshi? says it all.?So if you have any intentions of giving this relationship a name let go??
*Naa, jiya laage naa
tere binaa, meraa kahin, jiyaa laage naa *
( without you my dear
I am not interested in anything)
*Jina bhule the kahan yaad nahi
tujhako paayaa hai jahan, saans phir aai vahi*
(Oh! When did I forget to live
I found you, and life returned to me)
Surreal music by Salil Choudhary, this song from?Anand? has to be listened to and experienced.
My humble request?Please don?t leave me and go my dear?
*Tumhe ho na ho mujhkho to
Itna yakeen hai hame pyaar tumse nahi hai nahi hai *
( whether you believe it or not?
I know for sure that I don?t think I am in love with you.)
*Kabhi maine chaha tumhe chooke dekhoon
Kabhi maine chaha tumhe paas laaon?*
(I sometimes feel like touching you
and sometimes pull you near me)
A fun loving song from?Gharonda??this song is full of life sung really well by Runa Laila.
?Don?t take this to heart I?m just teasing you??
*aaj kal paanv zamin par nahin padte mere
bolo dekhaa hai kabhi tumne mujhe udthe hue*
(these days my feet are no longer on the ground
oh havent u seen me fly!)
*jane kya hota hai har baat pe kuch hota hai
din mein kuch hota hai aur raat mein kuch hota hai
thaam lenaa jo kabhi dekho hamen udate hue*
(I don?t know what happens with each word of yours
I feel something during the night and day
Just hold me whenever you see me fly)
Another beautiful song, from the movie?Ghar?, which makes you feel like flying whenever you listen to it.
'So have you seen me fly?'
*lag jaa gale ki phir ye hasin raat ho na ho
shayad phir is janam mein mulaqaat ho na ho*
(Embrace me, perhaps this beautiful night might not last
or perhaps we might not meet again in this lifetime)
*hamako mili hain aaj, ye ghadiya nasib se
ji bhar ke dekh lijiye hamko qarib se
shayad phir is janam mein mulaqaat ho na ho*
(today we have got a few moments by luck
so please look at me to your hearts content
perhaps we might not meet again in this lifetime)
From the movie?Who Kaun Thi?, this song is loved by one and all because of the lyrics and the ethereal voice of Lata.
A sure number to sing to your beloved whom you are never going to meet again.
'So how do you like these songs?'
As I lie beneath the trees in his lap and watch the loveliness swiftly come and go, part of me wants to linger with him forever but?
Back at my place, I wander again and listen to the silence and catch the whisper of the dreams that I had dreamt.
