Translation of an Anonymous Shaayar's Kalaam.

Sitting by yourself, alone, don't keep thinking..
These thoughts will take your life.. don't keep thinking..

A couple of moments of love is good for life..
about truths and lies... don't keep thinking..

It abandons you in the scorching sun..
Why so this shadow.. don't keep thinking..

Curbing your true self that wishes to be,
What is it you achieved, don't keep thinking..

One whose destiny is to take your life..
It will kill you any ways, don't keep thinking..

Another Gem by Ahmed Faraz

Phir isee raahguzar par shaayad
Hum kabhee mil sakein magar....shaayad

Jinke hum muntazir unko..
mil gayein aur humsafar shaayad..

ajnabeeyat ki dhund chhat jaayein
chamak utthein teiree nazar.. shaayad.


Jaan pehchaan se bhee kyaa hoga
fir bhee ae dost gaur kar shaayad..

Jo bhee bichardey woh kub miley hai Faraz,
Fir bhee tu intezaar kar .... shaayad..!!



A most touching and delicate rendition by Ghulam Ali .. which brings out the pain and the desperation of a dying hope .. A hope of redemption..of love.. of return to life..
This song brought out an unshed tear hidden in for a long time!

Thank God for Ghulam Ali and Faraz!

Some one has gotta stop this..

The kind of rubbish lyrics have been written in Hindi movies ... Do you ask me what else did I expect????
I know.. I understand that there is a LOT of stinking pile of crap on that lot...... but... such lovely music goes straight to the drain..
Songs with good music... how can dum- asses be allowed to sit there and fit crude and unpolished words in to harmony and rhythm.. when all they can think of is the cliched GIGOs over and over and over and over again! Oh GOD!! It is almost sad .. that I am not immune to the disgust that they create every time..EVERY TIME, EVERY FREAKIN TIME, my brain cells fry in their own heat..and become some what similar to a grey migas in a cheap mexican restaurant... I almost always end up thinking about how many beautiful things could have filled the void between music and lyrics..

Here are some of the songs that I SO BADLY ITCH TO make nicer lyrics for (in no particular order of hatred):

1. Sazaa-e-Kaala paani
2. Every song of Hum dil de chuke sanam (I HATE .. ABSOLUTELY DETEST THE way in which 5 syllable words are filled in to places where hardly 2 can go)
3. Rangeela (oh DONT even TRY to get me started on this)
4. Bombay (2-3 songs at the least)
5. I cant think any more... I am choking on my bile..

Where is the happiness?

Where is the bliss in life?

No sweet smiles.. No fascinating adventures.. No beautiful stories..
Just routine.. mundane.. daily misery..

Good people suffering.. my friends and family in pain..
Not of existence.. but of futility of existence..

Why can't mind be controlled to ABSOLUTELY LOVING what we have .. so that it never feels the lack of something? Is the bliss of having the same as of not having and not realizing?

How can I help? What can I do?

Why isn't there a shortcut to living life? Why isn't there a bridge ?at least for those who don't know how to swim through?

All I can do is .. pray for the good .. and hope that there is a God up there to listen..
