RK: Nainon ki zabaan

Originally posted by: soapbubble

There have been many posts saying 'look at his eyes'! yes, I see it too - the love, the concern under the layer of BBB performance but... I can't take it for granted. What is to be done with those eyes? The tenderness in the look? What is the use?

Remember what the poet-man (Gulzar) said:

Naino ki jabaan pe bharosa nahin aata

Likhat-padhat, na raseed na khaata

Saari baat hawaai hai

There is no way to trust the language of the eyes

Nothing in writing, no receipt, no attestation

All their talk is in the air, my friend, in the air'

============

For those who would like it, the whole song -- which suits Madhu totally right now - from Omkara with translation:

Naino ki mat maaniyo re, naino ki mat suniyo

Naino ki mat suniyo re

Naina thag lenge

Naina thag lenge, thag lenge, naina thag lenge

Don't trust the language of the eyes, friend, do not heed them

They will con you, they will con you

Jagte jaadu phookenge re, jagte-jagte jaadu

Jagte jaadu phookenge re, neendein banjar kar denge

Naina thag lenge

Even as you wake they blow magic into your eyes

And render your sleep a desert

They will con you!

Bhala-manda dekhe na, paraya na saga re

Naino ko to dasne ka chaska laga re

Naino ka zahar nasheela re

Good or bad, stranger or one's own ' they see no difference

The eyes have become addicted to biting

And an intoxicating poison, it is'

Baadlon mein satrangiyaan boyein, bhor talak barsaavein

Baadlon mein satrangiyaan boyein, naina baavra kar denge

Naina thag lenge

They will sow rainbows in clouds, make it rain till dawn

The eyes will drive you insane, friend

They'll con you

Naina raat ko chalte chalte swarga mein le jaavein

Megh-malhar ke sapne beejein, hariyali dikhlaavein

They will show you glimpses of heaven

Sow within you seeds of the monsoon raga, offer you verdant landscapes

Naino ki jabaan pe bharosa nahin aata

Likhat-padhat, na raseed na khaata

Saari baat hawaai hai

There is no way to trust the language of the eyes

Nothing in writing, no receipt, no attestation

All their talk is in the air, my friend, in the air'

Bin baadal barsaayein saawan, saawan bin barsaata

Bin baadal barsaayein saawan, naina baavra kar denge

Without clouds they will bring the rainy season,

Without the season, there will be rains

They will drive you mad, these eyes'

They will con you
