Mera Kuch Samaan

There's something
That you have of me:
The memory of a night,
Trapped in the fading words
of letters soaked in rain
In autumn, I heard the rustle of leaves
Being crushed to nothing
Under my feet,
And hands.

The rustle is no more
But somewhere,
An ailing branch trembles for liberation.
On a rainy night,
You and I
Were drenched under the umbrella
A little less
And a little more.
A part of me
Of that night
Still hovers over your bedside

The many moonlit nights from your terrace
The fragrance
Of the still-wet heena
On the day of my marriage
That never took place
The regret
That never was
The promise
That was never made
Will you walk me
All over again
Through everything?
So in peace we sleep.

Since we have a lot of people here who appreciate good music, I thought I'd post a favourite of mine. 😊 Asha Bhosle was magical in this song! RD Burman did an exquisite job of composing the melody. Gulzar was exceptional as always penning the lyrics. 😊 Something about this song reaches out to my soul in the most euphonious manner. 😳 I hope you guys enjoy this song as much as I do. ❤️
