On the walks of life, you come across people who walk with you for a while. They hold your hand, share happiness & sorrows with you, make your journey worth while. You want your life to go on like that. With that person. But what you want might not be that other person's desire too. They are there for a short while only, before they bid you adieu. Leaving behind a wreck.
One such story - told via some of my most favorite lyrics. All the songs are added in the mp3 player at the end of the post. Give it a spin.
Guy sees girl, talks to her, likes her, develops feeling for her -
Ab dil chaahe khamoshi ke hothon pe main likh doon
pyaari si baatein kayi.
Kuch pal mere naam kare woh, main bhi uske naam pe
likhoon mulakaatein kayi.
Pehli hi takni mein bann gayi jaan pe.
Naina waina uske mere dil pe chhape.
Ab jaaun kahan pe, dil ruka hai wahaan pe
jahaan dekh ke mujhe woh aagey badh gaya oye.
Ho rabba main toh mar gaya oye.
Shadayi mujhe kar gaya kar gaya oye. [full song]
Tumhe hai pata, maine pehli baar jo dekha tumhe...
Mujhe ye laga, chaahu bhi to kaise paa sakunga tumhe...
Ho, sapna tha ek din to main hu, tum ho;
Tum dheere se bolo "Tumko apna mana hai"...
Dekho hona hai aur kya...
His feelings for her keeps getting stronger. He wants to express -
I wanna get closer to you,
I need to be closer to you.
I got to tell you how I feel;
Oh baby u'r the only one for me.
Tumhe kaise mai batau, kya mai paa gaya hu..
tum jo mere sath ho.
Mujhko duniya mil gayi hai, Zindagi badal gayi hai...
tum jo mere paas ho.
At last, he confesses to her; though he couldn't explain, even to himself, why he loves her -
Said I can't be just friends, I wanted more.
Said how much I like you, said how I adore. [full poem]
Nigaho me dekho meri jo hai bas gaya,
wo hai tumse milta hu-ba-hu.
Jaane teri aakhein thi yaa baatein thi wajah,
huwe tum jo dil ki aarzoo.
Tum paas ho ke bhi, Tum aas ho ke bhi,
ehsaas hoke bhi apne nahi...
Aise hai humko gile tumse naa jane kyu..
Milo ke hai fasle tumse naa jane kyu...
Khayalo me laakho baatein yu to keh gaya,
bola kuch naa tere saamne.
Huwe na begane bhi tum hoke aur ke,
dekho tum naa mere hi bane.
Afsos hota hai, dil bhi ye rota hai,
sapne sanjota hai, pagla huwa soche ye
hum thei mile tumse naa jane kyu..
Milo ke hai fasle tumse naa jane kyu...
Kaise bataye, kyu tujhko chaahe, yara bata naa paye.
Batein dilo ki, dekho jo baaki, aakhein tujhe samjhaaye.
Tu jaane naa... Tu jaane na...
[full song]
Slowly, the girl too develops feelings for the guy and sees him everywhere -
Main hi main ab tumhare khayalo me hu.
Main jawabo me hu, main sawalo me hu.
Main tumhare har ek khwab me hu basa.
Main tumhari nazar ke ujaalo me hu.
Dekhti ho mujhe dekhti ho jaha.
Main yaha hu, yaha hu, yaha hu, yaha..
Jaanam dekhlo mit gayi duriya,
Main yaha hu, yaha hu, yaha hu, yaha..
Girl starts missing him and realizes that she loves him too -
Hoti thi tujhse subah har din ki;
Tere dopahar se shaam ki dhoon thi.
Hoti thi raate tere baat me khoye;
tere khayalo me jaage o soye.
Tu jo nahi to kya raha...
Jaane tu mera kya hai, jaane tu mera kya tha..
Tu hi mera har pal, tu hi har lamha tha..
Jaane kaisi kashish hai, jaane kaisi khalish hai..
Kyu ye sanse thami hai, aakho me kyu nami hai...
Jaana dil jaana, kaise maine naa jana,
Ke pyar ye hi hai ye jaane tu yaa jane naa..
Then she too confesses to him -
Huwa jo tu bhi mera mera, tera jo iqraar huwa.
To kyu naa main bhi keh du, keh du;
huwa mujhe bhi pyar huwa.
Tera hone laga hu, khone laga hu, jabse mila hu.
[full song]
Guy couldn't believe that he got the girl of his dreams -
Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi?
Kismat pe aaye naa yakeen..
Utar aayi jheel me jaise chand utarta hai
kabhi haule haule dheere se.
Gunguni dhoop ki tarah se tarannum me tum,
chhuke mujhe gujri ho yu.
Dekhu tumhe yaa mai sunu.
Tum ho sukun, tum ho junoon.
Kyu pehle naa aayi tum...
Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi?
Kismat pe aaye naa yakeen.. [full song]
Aakhen jo ab meri aakhon me hai,
dhund raha tha kai salo se.
Kitni milti hai aakhein ye,
khwabo se mere khayalo se.
Ke haqeeqat me hum, sapno ka sanam,
yu paaenge socha naa tha.
Kabhi dil ke kareeb,
tumhe mere naseeb yu layenge socha naa tha...
They go on their 1st date -
Aayi aisi raat hai jo bohot khush naseeb hai.
Chahe jise duur se duniya wo mere kareeb hai.
Kitna kuch kehna hai phir bhi hai dil me sawaal kahi..
Sapno me jo roz kaha hai wo fir se kahu ya nahi..
Aakho me teri azab si azab si adaaye hai.
Dil ko banade jo patang, sanse ye teri wo hawaye hai.
[full song]
Tum ho paas mere, saath mere ho tum yu..
Jitna mehsush karu tumko, utna hi paa bhi lu.
Tum ho mere liye, mere liye ho tum yu...
Khud ko main haar gaya tumko, tumko main jeeta hu.
[full song]
Guy starts seeing a future with her. Starts loving her more and more everyday -
Bina tere koi dilkash nazara hum naa dekhenge.
Tumhe naa ho pasand usko dobara hum naa dekhenge.
Teri surat naa ho jisme, wo shisha tod denge hum.
Agar tum mil jao, jamana chhod denge hum.
Tumhe hum apne jism-o-jaan me kuch aise basa lenge.
Tteri khusbu apne jism ki khusbu bana lenge.
Khuda se bhi naa jo tuute wo rishta jod lenge hum.
Agar tum mil jao, jamana chhod denge hum.
Maine tumhe chaha jis tarah, chaahega naa koi iss tarah.
Chaahat me teri main to yara, na jaane kya kya ho gaya.
Bhoola mai sari duniya ko, Khwabo me tere kho gaya.
Chain bhi mera to gaya.
Ishq ne tere ishq ne kar diya bekhabar...
They chat all day, talk about everything under the sun, getting to know each other more n more -
Din bhar kare baatein hum
Phir bhi lage baatein adhoori aajkal.
Mann ki dehleezon pe koi aaye na
Bas tum zaroori aajkal.
Abhr main hoon, tu aasmaan hai.
Paas hai tu, par kahaan hai.
Zidd meri tu nahi, meri aadat hai tu.
I love you... [full song]
But the girl is apprehensive and wants to keep everything under wrap. Guy tries to make her comfortable -
Apna hi saya dekh ke tum janejaha sharma gaye.
Abhi to ye pehli manzil hai, tum to abhi de ghabra gaye.
Mera kya hoga socho to zara.
Haaye aise naa aahe bhara kijiye.
O mere dil ke chain, chain aaye mere dil ko duwa kijiye.
Guy is little sad about it, that he doesn't get to spend time her. They have few arguments about it. But then the guy can never stay mad on her for long. -
Jabse mili tujhse najar, main bekhabar, main besabar.
Dekha karu sapne tere, har din, palchin, sham-o-sahar.
Sanson ki lai me, bechain mann me;
Tanhayio me, deewanepan me tum hi.
Tumse chaand taare, tumse ye nazare.
Tumse sili raate, tumse sondhi yaaden.
Shiqwa bhi tumse, tumse shiqayat;
Par ye bhi sach hai, tumse mohabbat humein...
But then he was getting to see less n less of her and he was feeling jealous about her closeness with another guy -
Kyu aise chubhti hai tujhse duuri..
Kyu lagti hai zindagi yu adhuri..
Chhuwa kisine tujhko to laga ke dil me kisine jaise aag laga ke
duniya jala di hai meri...
Jaane tu meri kya hai, jaane mai mera kya tha..
Sath tere har pal, sath har lamha tha.
jaane kaisi kasak hai, jane kaisi tadap hai.
Kyu ye aakhen nam hai, jane kaisa gam hai...
The girl couldn't take all the questions anymore and leaves him -
Hawa tum, nasha tum; meri raahaton ka pata tum.
Maeri aaibo ko jo dhak de, wo paak si rida tum.
Kab tak bharu khudme junoon. Tum na milo to kaise sahu.
Apni wafa pe hai to yakeen,
tum saath na do to kya mai karu.
Kyu chhod gaye raste... kabhi sath chale thei jinpe....
[All atif songs]
The guy tries a lot to win her back. Her memories haunt him everywhere, all the time -
Teri yaadein, mulaqatei, wo raate aur baatein.
Teri sanse, wo baahein, ab mujhko yaad aaye..
Tere bina mera jiya, sataye kyu piya....
Yaado ne teri mujhpe ye zaadu kiya re...
Suuna mera jahan, bhula mai hu kahan..
jana hai jaan-e-jaa, tera rahu.. piya......
wapas aa jao; mere paas tum sada wapas aa jao...
[full song]
Tune mere jaana, kabhi nahin jaana,
Ishq mera, dard mera.
Aashiq tera…
Bheed mein khoya rehta hai.
Jaane jahaan…
Puchho toh itna kehta hai -
That I feel so lonely yeah…
There’s a better place than this: emptiness… [full song]
The guy, and in parts, the girl too go through a period of heartache and pain -
Gham le ja tere, jo bhi tuune diye..
ya fir mujhko bata inko kaise sahe...
Har bebasi ne, is zindagi ne
tujhko hi chaha, tujhko hi maanga.
Jin rasto se gujra ye dil tha,
manzil mili na, pyaar na paya.
Khud ko chhupa ke raho se gujre,
dil ko sambhale, dil ko sambhale.
Tere bin dil mera lage kahi na,
tere bin jaa meri jaye kahi naa.
Chaar dino ka pyar o rabba,
lambi judai, lambi judai...
It becomes evidently clear that she doesn't wanna be with him anymore. The guy couldn't bear it further and decides to leave country. Before he's gone forever, they meet one last time -
Aaj ke baad mera sara safar tanha hai.
Aur tere saath ka bhi aakhri ye lamha hai.
Aur kuch der mujhe khudse jura rehne de.
Duur naa jaa.. Duur naa jaa..
Khone wali ho kal tum.
Ruuk sako jo do pal tum.
Kuch tumhari tasveere, rakhlu apni aakhon me.
Jao naa.. Jao naa.. [full song]
Dhadkane khamosh hai, kuch kehti nahi.
Ye aakhri alvida naa ho.
Chaahatein aakhon se behti nahi.
Ye aakhri alvida naa ho.
Is dard ko dil me, dil me rehne do.
Jo khauf hai aakhon se, aakhon se kehne do.
Dukh ki nadi chupchap behne do.
Jo kehna hai tum dheere se kehdo.
Ye aakhri alvida naa ho....
If you decide it's not worth and you want me gone..
Please hold me once, say you did love me,
before you move on.
Let me cup your face, kiss your lips,
give me a last chance to put up a fight.
Still if you have to go, just give me this...
Let me die in your arms tonight. [full poem]
They hold hands briefly. And then, part ways... hiding a few tears in corner of eyes -
Tum thei ki thi koi ujli kiran,
tum thei ya koi kali muskayi thi.
Tum thei ya sapno ka tha sawaan;
tum thei ke khusiyo ki ghata chhayi thi.
Tum thei ke tha koi phool khila;
tum thei ya mila tha mujhe naya jahan.
Tum thei ya khusbu hawao me thi,
tum thei ya rang sari dishayo me thei.
Tum thei ya roshni raho me thi;
tum thei ya geet gunje feezao me thei.
Tum thei mile ya mili thi manzeele;
tum thei ke tha jaadu bhara koi sama..
Do pal ruka khwabo ka karwaa...
aur phir chal diye tum kaha, hum kaha..
Do pal ki thi ye dilo ki daastaan..
aur phir chal diye tum kaha, hum kaha..
The guy moves to other end of the world, wishing the girl her happiness -
Tum mere khwabo se jaa naa sake.
Tum meri baaho me aa naa sake...
Main itni duur chala jaunga,
Tujhe yaad bhi naa aaunga.
Ye baat hai aur jaanam ke
tujhe main bhool naa paaunga.
I haven't seen you
Feels like a long time.
Sometimes it still hurts
But I always get by.
I still got a piece of you under my skin.
It's always there no matter where I've been.
So if I ever see you on the street
I'll pretend that I didn't see
And turn my face.
No use in small talk anyways.
Because if I look into your eyes
Then I'll have to say goodbye
And that'll break my heart
So I won't even start.
No, I won't even start. [full song]
And a story, which seemed so beautiful to him at the beginning, got over before it even got a chance to spread its wings. Meri chaahat aadhuri hai...
