Talaash

By the way, the last song i posted here was meant for a friend Runit, who happens to be a great singer. He wanted a song to be composed for him to be able to sing, and I gave him mine. :)

This one is an old composition - some 5 years old. Found it in one of my inbox.

Talaash

Peeli dhoop ki jhalak,
Nadiya ka chanchal kinara
Shor karte jhinghur
Panchiyon ka chehchahana
Poora chaand,
Aur ek mann

Kin lamhon ka mail tha?
Wo manjar, Ruka
Phir uth ke chal diya
Ek sapna sa jaise
Sparsh tak yaad nahi

Kaisa mukaam tha?
Is raah pe nahi, yakinan
Phir bhi, Mann
Ek talaash main,
Harsu, jeeta hai

Kyun pareshaan hai?
Is saadgi ko liye,
Kis kadar jeeta hai,
Ek lamha visaal ka,
Ya ke ek umr hizr ki.
