Teri Yaad…

This lil piece was written when I was really missing Sherni…. It in Hindi (well, actually in English, but the words are in Hindi) which can be the most beautiful or the most crude language in the world, depending on how you use it…

Aur Jab bhi teri yaad ke kaante dil se dil milate hain,

Ek gazab sa dard uthta hai seene mein,

Sansein kuch bhari bhari si ho jati hain,

Aur shor panapta hai is khali mehfil mein…

Ek bheegi si muskurahat ubharte chand ki tarah nazar aati hai,

Aur phir, ekdum se thum jaati hai,

Kisi parinde ne dum toda hai abhi,

Ki shayar ke gham ne zindagi se muuh moda hai abhi

Kisi ka chehra yaad aata hai jabhi,

Ek gazab sa dard uthta hain seene mein mere,

Aur man mein, leheron ke nirantar khelon ki tarah,

Yaadon ka silisila jaari rehta hai kabhi.

Bas illah hai mere, manzur-e-khuda,

In saason ko kheench lo is chadar se,

Laouta do mujhe wo yaadon ka silisila,

Laouta do mujhe do pal ki khushiyan,

Mere mehboob ka chehra ab muskurata hai,

Aur maut ke andkhar mein bhi, ek bar phir,

Hans ke chup ho jata hai.
