Nargis
Earthquake in China
Serial Blasts in Jaipur (India)
रोज़ सुबह अखबार मेरे घर , खून से लथपथ आता है ॥
( I get a blood soaked newspaper every morning)
And on the sudden rains in Delhi, my favorite rain song, and my favorite lines
फिर से आइयो, बदरा बिदेसी, तेरे पंखों में मोती जडूंगी
तुझे मेरे काली कमली वाले की सौं
तेरे जाने की रुत, मैं जानती हू
मुड के आने की रीत है के नही,
काली बरखा से पूछूंगी जा के,
तेरे मन में भी प्रीत है के नहीं..
कच्ची पुलिया से, हो के गुज़रियो,
कच्ची पुलिया के, नारे मिलूंगी...

I've been humming this song ever since I saw that it raining!!
It is such a beautiful song..just awesome!!
Too Good!!!
How I wish time can be turned to those two evenings we spent together this time with role reversals..:)
My frequency of talking to Buddy and you is almost similar.:(
oh i'm so curious to know what does it say...
sorry: to know what it says
nice..
Hi ~nm: Some coincidences leave one speechless. I don't know many people who think of these lines when it rains.
Hi chiya: Will call you to understand this comment. :-)
Hi human being: Will try and add a translation for you. Here goes:
Come again, o travelling cloud,
i will set pearls in your wings..
I know the season when you leave,
Do you also come back?
I do not know if you love me as I love you
Maybe I should ask the dark rain drops, falling thick from you...
When you come back, pass by the little bridge
And you will find me there..
Hi jyoti: Thanks!
Thank you so much dearest friend for taking the time to translate such a lovely song...
It IS beautiful...and illustrative...
The way the persona is talking to the cloud is so emotional... especially when he says the cloud can find him by the bridge when she's back...
I saw it as a dialog between two lovers...
And that image of setting pearls on the wings of a cloud is so original...
Think from now on my rainy days will be more musical as i have another beautiful song to hum...
i had goose bumps reading your translation... lovely!
just like what the droplets from heaven do to me.
yes ma`m... i think this is real comment for newspaper..
i just recall some lines.. When mrs Sheela Dikshit, chief minister of Delhi, joined the guest editor for a day... she stopped a news(about a murder) on the main page..
normally editors publish those news on front… and as the news paper is full of crime and other negative news.. ..!
sweet song… I m in cold due to 1st rain bath…:P
Hi Human Being: Yes, you must also get the tune, its a very haunting tune to hum. And i agree, it IS a dialogue between two lovers - that eternal thing.
Hi Varun: you liked the translation? God! Thanks! I am usually so poor at translation.
Hi deeps: you had a rain bath?! Am totally envious!
hmm really envy ??
worry not.. very soon i will send rain drops at ur place(mumbai na?).
:)
Small comforts in tough times.
I'm afraid I cannot recognize the song, but rain is such a powerful image of rejuvenation that it haunts almost every artistic form be it writing, dance, music, drama, cinema...
which song it is? can u send me an mp3 or a link maybe :)
waise, i am not very particular about enjoying these may delhi rains, howsoever pleasant but natural order should not be disrupted. i am worried about this all.
Hi deeps: No, not that u have the rain, but that u were able to soak urself.
Hi Phos: True!! CAM.
Hi id it is: True too.
Hi Adi: What you cannot help, you should not worry about.
