[That evening and this, years............ apart]. |
THAT EVENING That evening was a bit quaint, This evening, too, is so. That evening she was near me, Now, too, she’s around, though. In her shy and downcast eyes, I discerned thoughts of me. A shy query in her smile I could certainly see. It seemed as though on her lips My own name was dancing. While at the same time it seemed Her heart too was prancing. Even now I think she has A smile in downcast eye. Even now in her glance I A lurking desire spy. I know for sure on her lips, Now too, she has my name. I have a feeling she is Willing to play love game. • Based upon a beautiful Hindi movie song, given below. • Written in abcb, 7-6-7-6 format MC Gupta 6 March 2008 ************************ ORIGINAL HINDI LYRIC [In both Hindi and English scripts] वो शाम कुछ अजीब थी, ये शाम भी अजीब है वो कल भी पास पास थी, वो आज भी करीब है झुकी हुई निगाह में, कहीं मेरा ख़याल था दबी दबी हँसीं में इक, हसीन सा सवाल था मैं सोचता था, मेरा नाम गुनगुना रही है वो न जाने क्यूँ लगा मुझे, के मुस्कुरा रही है वो वो शाम कुछ अजीब थी ... मेरा ख़याल हैं अभी, झुकी हुई निगाह में खुली हुई हँसी भी है, दबी हुई सी चाह में मैं जानता हूँ, मेरा नाम गुनगुना रही है वो यही ख़याल है मुझे, के साथ आ रही है वो वो शाम कुछ अजीब थी, ये शाम भी अजीब है वो कल भी पास पास थी, वो आज भी करीब है Movie Name: Khamoshi (1969) Singer(s): Kishore Kumar Music Director(s): Hemant Kumar Lyricist(s): Gulzar Woh shaam kuchh ajeeb thi Yeh shaam bhi ajeeb hai Woh kal bhi paas thi voh aaj bhi karib hai Jhooki huvi nigaah mein kahin mera khyaal tha Dabi-dabi hansee me ek haseen sa sawal tha Main sochta tha mera naam gun guna rahi hai woh na jaane kyon laga mujhe ke muskura rahi hai woh woh shaam kuchh ajeeb thi yeh shaam kuchh ajeeb hai Woh kal bhi paas thi voh aaj bhi karib hai Mera khyaal hai aabhi jhuki hui nigaah main Khili huyee haseen bhi hai dabi huyee chaah me Main jaanta hun mera naam gun guna rahi hai woh yehi khayaal hai mujhe ke muskura rahi hai woh Woh shaam kuchh ajeeb thi yeh shaam kuchh ajeeb hai Woh kal bhi paas thi voh aaj bhi karib hai Woh hi khyaal hai muje ki saath aa rahi hai voh |
