This song always reminds me of a tranquil, sleepy summer afternoon with warm but pleasant wind blowing and you can hear leaves colliding with each other, outside.
But excellently rendered:
I found these lines quite scary, and depressing:
Neend bhi khuli na thi
ke hai dhoop dhal gayee
Paon jab talak uthe
ye zindagi phisal gayee
I hadn’t even opened my eyes and the sun was already going down; by the time I took my first steps the life had slipped away. A great song, sad, but great.
Another great sample:
Haath the uthe ke zulph
chaand ki sawar doo
Honth the khule ke har
bahaar ko pukar doo
Dard tha diya gaya
ke har dukhi ko pyar do
Aur saans yun ke swarg
bhumi par utar do
The hands had risen as if to touch the moon’s tresses; the lips had parted as if to summon every spring on earth; I was given pain so that I could love the ones in pain; and what to say about the breath that wanted to call the heavens on earth.
Breaks my heart. I wish I could write something so beautiful.
