What goes around, goes around..

The heading should remind you of the rather famous song of Justin timberlake, the super hit song that got the accolades from all in the world. Its also one of the favorites of my younger bro and he keeps listening to it. After a while of me listening it from him, decided to play it for myself and man!! its one awesome song, lyrics written straight from heart and so meaningful. I loved it, also, coz i am sure it carries a significance in life. Here's the lyrics for you: -

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand

So why your love went away
I just can’t seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don’t want to think about it
Don’t want to talk about it
I’m just so sick about it
Can’t believe it’s ending this way

Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can’t do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it’s really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should’ve known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It’s breaking my heart to watch you run around
‘Cause I know that you’re living a lie
That’s okay baby ’cause in time you will find…

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around...... (4)

The song is long and i dont want to put the entire thing in here (you can find it on http://www.starmometer.com/2007/01/03/what-goes-around-justine-timberlake-mp3-lyrics/). Rather i want to add to the aura created by this song. There is another one which is by "gloria gaynor", the song was also used in Rock on!! (Purab sings it in channel V's party) "I will survive", here are the lyrics (again only a reference the complete version is at http://www.energyexpressband.com/lyrics/wedding%20lyrics%20i%20will%20survive%20gloria%20gaynor.htm)

First I was afraid, I was petrified!
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong,
and I grew strong, and I learned how to get along.

So now you're back from outer space,
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.

CHORUS
Go on now go, walk out the door.
Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I! I will survive!
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
I've got all my life to live,
And I've got all my love to give,
I'll survive, I will survive!
Hey hey..

And you'd think the reference of the context in here, pure simply nothing ;) just for the people who have been there in thick and thin of my life could make sense out of it. And all those people, who stood by me when i was down and out, you guys got to meet the person who made the difference. Yep! you bet, its Nidhi. my wife.....

Youre my man, my mighty king, And I'm the jewel in your crown

Most people believe that when you love someone you need not to show coz love is something divine. However, I belong to a different school of thought. I believe that it is important for one to express love in as many words as one can. Though most often I and my chota (I fondly call Nidhi-My lady as "chota" or "chotu") keep saying those three magical words to each other, today, its different, today she has sent me a poem showing her love for me.

Now again, most people will say that i am over reacting to such a simple situation, but it is an important day for me coz she has surfed, selected and sent a poem to me. Now, I am sure you would understand that sending a text is much easier then sending a poem. This, also is, important as today it marks a beginning of a journey, a journey that would take me and nidhi to a new height in life. A place where we would be complimenting each other in the best possible way. A place where there would be no dearth of words to express our love for each other. Needless to say, I am happy. And needless to say, we seek all the blessings.

Here is what she had sent to me (No copyrights claimed)

You're my man, my mighty king,
And I'm the jewel in your crown,
You're the sun so hot and bright,
I'm your light-rays shining down,

You're the sky so vast and blue,
And I'm the white clouds in your chest,
I'm a river clean and pure,
Who in your ocean finds her rest,

You're the mountain huge and high,
I'm the valley green and wide,
You're the body firm and strong,
And I'm a rib bone on your side,

You're an eagle flying high,
I'm your feathers light and brown,
You're my man, my king of kings,
And I'm the jewel in your crown.

To Chota,

Indeed I am your man, and i shall be till God parts us. Indeed you are a jewel in my crown, the one that the world sees and appreciates. Indeed I am the sun and you my rays, the rays that bring the glory to me. Yes, i am all the adjectives that you have used in here and you are my reason to be one. Together we are, and together we will. Always remember a sun isn’t a sun unless the rays are there and a crown isn’t glowing unless the jewel is in it. Similarly I won’t be what I am unless I have your hand in mine, together we are "Deep-nidhi" and we shall always be.

रंजिश ही सही

The title might make you go down the memory lane. Trust me we would have said "Get lost, i dont want to see you again in life" more then once in life and i am sure more then once we would've heard it. Also, i am sure there would be just this someone whom you hated at some point in time in life and yet there is this time when you want that someone to come back to you. And you sit begging saying

"रंजिश ही सही दिल ही दुखाने के लिए आ
आ फिर से मुझे छोड़ के जाने के लिए आ"

Here is to you all...

रंजिश ही सही दिल ही दुखाने के लिए आ
आ फिर से मुझे छोड़ के जाने के लिए आ ।

रंजिश=enmity

पहले से मरासिम न सही फिर भी कभी तो
रस्म-ओ-रह-ए-दुनिया ही निभाने के लिए आ ।

मरासिम=agreements/relationships, रस्म-ओ-रह-ए-दुनिया=customs and traditions of the society

किस किस को बताएँगे जुदाई का सबब हम
तू मुझ से ख़फ़ा है तो ज़माने के लिए आ ।

सबब=reason, ख़फ़ा=angry

कुछ तो मेरे पिन्दार-ए-मुहब्बत का भरम रख
तू भी तो कभी मुझ को मनाने के लिए आ ।

पिन्दार=pride

एक उम्र से हूँ लज़्ज़त-ए-गिरिया से भी महरूम
ऐ राहत-ए-जाँ मुझ को रुलाने के लिए आ ।

लज़्ज़त-ए-गिरिया=taste of sadness/tears, महरूम=devoid of, राहत-ए-जाँ=peace of life

अब तक दिल-ए-ख़ुश’फ़हम को तुझ से हैं उम्मीदें
ये आख़िरी शम्में भी बुझाने के लिए आ ।

दिल-ए-ख़ुश’फ़हम=optimistic heart, शम्में=candles

That’s great poetry ! Magnificient expression of melancholy ! And Runa Laila’s silken voice just weaves magic…This was also sung by Mehdi Hasan but was immortalized by Runa Laila. I like the one sung by Mr. Mehdi Hasan sahab over the one sung by Runa laila, I dont know when and i just dont remeber where i heard this for the first time, but since that day this has been my most favorite ghazal.

For you all...
