Roz Roz Ankhon Tale

Being group member of ‘Gulzar Fan Yahoo Group’, helps me understand the essence of poetry of Gulzar that is understood by all his admirers worldwide.

I sometimes wonder if RD kept his best musical genius for Gulzar or Gulzar kept his best poetry for RD Burman . But this duo with the help of Asha have created some of the memorable poetic musical embellishments. One such song is Roz Roz Ankhon Tale…. Hardly anyone would remember this movie Jeeva – picturised on Sanjay Dutt and Mandakini. But this is one of my favourite songs on all three counts – lyrics, music and rendition. RD has adroitly covered Amit Kumar’s limitation of clasical base while extracting the very best from Asha.

Silbil has translated this song in Engligh. I admire his attempt. I too tried with my novice skills . Its not easy to translate a poetry in a foreign language. Appropriate words often fail to reflect and retain the theme and essence of poetry in original language. Moreoever each language has its own nuances that cant be transcended in another language. I was at loss to find english words for Tanhai and Dil, Ulzan. Aparna Banerjee has also written a nice article of her association with this song.
You can listen to this song on dishant

Roz roz aankhon tale, ek hi sapna chale
raat bhar kaajal jale, aankh mein jis tarah khwaab ka diya jale
day by day, beneath the shadow of my eyes, a dream strolls over
As night’s wing spread , kohl gets consumed the same way flame of my dream diminishes in my eyes

jab se tumhaare naam ki misri honth lagayi hai
meetha sa gham hai aur meethi si tanhaii hai
Since the day my lips have felt your succulance
Pain too has a sweet tinge , being lonely with your passion is also mellifluous

Chhoti si dil ki uljhan hai, yeh suljha do
jeena to seekha hai mar ke, marna sikha do tum
Can you entangle tiny emotional enigma that has set in my heart
I have adapted to live by being dormant, but now I need your help to set free from this world.

aankhon per kuch aise tum ne zulf gira di hai
bechaare se kucch khawaabo ki neend udaa di hai
seeing your hair fall over your eyes
hapless dreams too have abandoned the precious sleep

10cc gulp and 24 hour high

I never had so much high in such a small dosage. Cough syrups do give you more punch and last more time than any alcoholic drink. I thought Benedryl topped that list till I had Dhasedyl yesterday. The sticker on the plastic bottle said ' Take 10cc three times a day, May cause drowsiness '. I had one dose of 10cc previous night and effects are still lingering. I didnt have courage to take two more doses. I didnt knock out immediately but did sleep well . When I woke up, I was groggy, listless and void of energy. The feeling continued through out the day. By evening I felt ravenous. I kept wondering what's so special about 'Dhasedyl' that uprooted my mental equilibrium. I had to know about this drug that so quickly and efficiently smothered my month old persistant cough and cold within a night but crippled and numbed my alertness and made me feel like a seasoned druggist. As I searched on ' Dhasedyl ' I read about its sideffects and the following experience o

Madhav Julian and Indiver -प्रेमस्वरुप आई and Zindgi Ka Safar

When I hear this poetry of Madhav Julian sung by Lata - my eyeballs swell with a blob - as the poem reaches mid way. A fabulous rendition that seems to have bled through damaged heart of this man. Tears don’t come that easily to me. That prerogative belong to Rajesh Khanna in Hindi movies of Anand Amar Prem and Dharmendra in Satyakam . In this poem too tears don’t come because I miss my mother or think of her from a distant land. This poem resurrects a character who has raised in orphanage and became successful to get all the comforts and accolades that a man can strive for. Yet he has remained empty in his heart without the existence of his mother। He doesnt remember her face as she has left long before she made any imprint on his life. Today is my mother’s birthday and I thought it would be appropriate to write about this poem. There is another song – rather second stanza of the song – penned by Indiver in movie Safar also evokes similar anguish। Here the
