TS - Kaash Aisa Koi Manzar Hota (Final Part-Page 8 updated)

Today I was listening to one my all time favourite Ghazal album "Kaash" by Hariharan. There was this one Ghazal which did not let me go and I had to write a story on Manik based on that.

The Ghazal is sung and composed by Hariharan and written by Tahir Faraz.

So here it is.. Please let me know how you liked it.

I just had to see her. I was standing right below her window, my usual place, my home, waiting for that one glance which would make my world all right. So much happened in last few days, it was like I lived my entire life in these days. My entire being is filled with so much of regrets that I am unable to breath. May be she can fill it again with peace. It was dark outside, just like what I was feeling from inside. My whole life was scattered, everyone, everything around me falling into pieces.

Just then she came near the window and leaned on the grill closing her eyes as though she was savouring something from her heart and soul. I could hear beginning of sitar strings and a Ghazal being played out from her bedroom. Was this what she was listening to with utmost care and attention? Only she but who else has taste for such music!!

I could hear the poem now, slowly loosing myself into it and remembering.

"Kaash Aisa Koi Manzar Hota

Mere Kandhe Pe,

Tera Sar Hota

Kaash Aisa Koi Manzar Hota

Mere Kandhe Pe,

Tera Sar Hota

Kaash Aisa Koi Manzar Hota"

How apt, I thought. It was as if she knew what I was feeling. Is this what she felt too? "I could not be with you. It was all a game. It was a revenge for the insult you paid with your punch"... I could hear myself saying these again and again to her. "I am sorry. Please come back." Will an apology be enough to erase the hurt I had caused her. I can still hear her painful cries, for it tore my soul into pieces. Can we ever go back to what we were before? For I wish right now, this is the moment when you could rest your head on my shoulder and all of the world would just melt away. Just this one moment.

"Jama Karta Jo Main Aye Huye Sang

Sar Chupane Ke Liye Ghar Hota

Mere Kandhe Pe,

Tera Sar Hota

Kaash Aisa Koi Manzar Hota"

All the time we had together, all the stolen glances, all moments when I had your hand in mine, all the moments when you bought smile to my face, all that I stored them away at the deepest part of my soul. Then I broke your heart and it ripped my soul apart spreading all these memories which held dear into dust. If only hadn't done that, today I would have somewhere to go. For I wish right now, this is the moment when you could rest your head on my shoulder and I would be home. Just this one moment.

"Is Bulandi Pe Bahot Tanha Hoon

Kaash Mein Sab Ke Barabar Hota

Mere Kandhe Pe,

Tera Sar Hota

Kaash Aisa Koi Manzar Hota"

I am at the door step of success, fame and everything I could ask for. I am rich and I have great friends who do anything for me. People listen and clap when I sing. But I am dying of loneliness. The world wants a singer, and a musician. Friends want a leader and someone whom they can depend on. The family wants my favors. You are the only one who wanted me. But I threw that away. If only I was an ordinary man, without these constraints. For I wish right now, this is the moment when you could rest your head on my shoulder and I would be content. Just this one moment.

"Usne Uljha Diya Duniya Mein Mujhe

Varna Ek Aur Kalander Hota

Mere Kandhe Pe,

Tera aa Sar Hota

Kaash Aisa Koi Manzar Hota"

I was angry at this world, with everyone and even you. I bought pain and hurt to others, even while I was in pain and hurt. All this rage in me made me forget who I am. It ate me up from within. If only I hadn't lost you, I would have had my only chance to let go of this anger, hurt and pain. For I wish right now, this is the moment when you could rest your head on my shoulder and I would be at peace. Just this one moment.
