Thank You Songs

These have been my friends - true friends through thick and thin. With me in the darkest days of my life. I have lain in bed, lights switched off, eyes closed, listening to these, transported away from my worries and problems. In a world where sadness is sweet and lovely. But then when is sadness not sweet and lovely. Some songs (in Jagjit Singh's pristine voice) that have never failed to touch me. The songs I have lived.

Dhuaan uthaa thaa divaane ke jalate ghar se saarii raat

lekin vo khaamosh rahe duniyaa ke dar se saarii raat

(When I fought and lost)

Kaanton ki chubhan paayi

phoolon ka maza bhi

Dil dard ke mausam me

roya bhi hasan bhi

(Last year's romance with Kolkata, my season of pain and sweet memories)

Tere vaade par jiye hum

to ye jaan jhoot jaana

ki khushi se mar na jate

agar aitbaar hota

Ye na thi hamari kismat

ki bisaale yaar hota

(The promise of truth and purpose that is yet to be and perhaps never to be realized)

Unke dekhe se jo chehre pe aa jati hai raunak

wo samajhte hain ki beemar ka haal accha hai

Humko maaloom hai jannat ki haqueequat lekin

dil ke khush rakhne ko Ghaalib ye khayaal accha hai

(Ghalib's poetry, Jagjit's voice and my feelings better than I can put them)

Thank you songs!!
