Agar Hum Kahen

From the REC hostel days, I have been accused of listening to weird and sad songs:) I don't blame my friends as they have to bear those songs as well as the noisy version when I used to sing(rather shout) on the corridor. Also I owe a nice, soothing, happy song to my ex-roomie who almost suffered an attack and woke up suddenly from deep sleep when I played an qawwali by Abida Parveen:) So few happy songs on the way and dedicated to all my tortured friends.

Agar hum kahen aur woh muskuraa den
Hum unake liye zindagani lootaa den

Har ek mod par hum ghamon ko sazaa den
Chalo zindagi ko muhabbat banaa den

Agar Khud ko bhoole to kuchh bhi na bhoole
Ke chaahat men unaki khudaa ko bhoolaa den

Kabhi gham ki aandhi jinhen chhuu na paaye
Wafaa ke ham woh nasheman banaa den

Qayaamat ke deewaane kahate hain hum se
Chalo unake chehare se pardaa hataa den

Sazaa de silaa de, banaa de mitaa den
Magar woh koi faisalaa to sunaa den

Nasheman : Nest



--A song by Jagjit Singh from album 'Passions'
