Subject: Nazm !!!

This one is from a movie (just for a change)....This is one of the
nicest nazm's from an old hindi movie "Kabhi-Kabhi"....This nazm
sounds even better in Amitabh's great voice.............

**********************************************************************
Kabhi-kabhi meray dil mein khayaal aata hai
Ki zindagi teri zulfon ki narm chaon mein guzar na paati to shaadab ho bhi sakti thi
Yeh ranj-o-gham ki siyahee jo dil pay chayee hai
Teri nazar ki shuaon mein kho bhi sakti thi
Magar yeh ho na saka...................
Magar yeh ho na saka aur ab yeh aalam hai
Ki tu nahin tera gham teri justjoo bhi nahin
Guzar rahi hai kuch is tarah zindagi jaisay
Isay kisi kay saharay ki aarzoo bhi nahin
Na koi rah na manzil na roshni ka surag
Batak rahi hai andheron mein zindagi meri
Inhee andhero mein rah jaaoonga kabhi kho kar
Main jaanta hoon meri hum-nafaz..........
Main jaanta hoon meri hum-nafaz, magar yun hi
Kabhi-kabhi meray dil mein khayaal aata hai
Kabhi-kabhi meray dil mein khayaal aata hai

[Once in a while, I get an idea,
That if my life could not spend time under the light shade of your hair, it still could have been happier,
This darkness-of-sorrow which is all over me,
Could have gotten lost in your eyes,
But it could not happen...................
But it could not happen and now the situation is such,
That you are not there, your sorrow and your love too is not there,
Life is going on as if
It does not even desire for anybody's support,
There is no way, no destination and no clue of any light,
My life is wandering in darkness,
I will one day get lost in same darkness,
I know, my beloved....................
I know, my beloved, but still for the heck of it,
Once in a while, I get an idea,
Once in a while, I get an idea.....]
