Raat yun teri dil mein...

Raat yun dil mein teri.. khoi hoi yaad aayi,
jaase virane main chupke se bahar aajaaye,
jaase sehra mein hoole se chale baadenaseen,
jaase bimaar ko behvajaah karrar aa jaye.....faiz

ultimate poetry... 4 lines summarizes every thing one feels when one feel anything for someone..20 years ago when I first heard these lines in a pak TV play dhoop kinare.. the same words had very different effect on me when I hear it today.. strangely tears rolled down and a big hole in the heart gapes larger for what and why I am unable to understand..Life in dynamic and everything changes, the meanings, place, context and people.The lines invokes pain today. Perhaps 'cause when today I close my eyes there is no yaad ... just a big blankspace.. no bahaar walks in .. no umeed tooo. the veeraana gapes and expands... sehra gulps baadenaseen.. and bimaar perhaps is on the death bed. 20 years ago there was a hope, a sketch and a frame which I thought time will fill in... the bahaar will engulf the veerana from all sides...
