Chandni se dhuli si raat mein
ek khushbu se hai har baat mein
hain sitare mere kadmo ke tale
haath hai aaj unke haath mein
paas aake bhee kyon hain doorian
koi pyasa hai kyon barsaat mein
dil ki naadanion se tang hoon
baat sunta nahi jazbaat mein
ishq aur ye zamane ki bandishe
dakhiye kya ho in haalat mein
The poetry is breathtaking, the voice enchanting I wish I could pen my thoughts down is similar manner I feel so inadequate in expressing myself when I read such pieces of poetry.
Bought “Shairana” an album with poetry of Javed Akhtar sung by various singer and Chandni si is the first song.
what is the poem about
its a romantic verse:
In a night bathed with moonlight, our words are fragrant
Stars beneath our feet, we walk hand in hand
We are together yet far apart, why is someone so thirsty in rain
I am tired of my innocently foolish heart, it doesnt listen when drenched in emotions
Our love and this prohibitary world, lets see what happens
Translating it is killing it actually 🙁
thank you
