ये रातें नयी पुरानी

ये रातें नयी पुरानी
आते, आते जाते कहती हैं कोई कहानी

आ रहा है देखो कोई
जा रहा है देखो कोई
सब के दिल हैं जागे जागे
सब की आँखें खोई खोई
ख़ामोशी करती हैं बातें

क्या समा है जैसे ख़ुशबू
उड़ रही हो कलियों से
गुजरी हो निंदिया में
पलकों की गलियों से
सुन्दर सपनों की बरातें

These nights, early and late, new and old, come and go with so many untold stories.

We see people come and go. Some people’s eyes may be tearful, seemingly lost, but all hearts are alive and hopeful. At night the silence speaks louder than words.

What is that gentle fragrance flying by as sleepiness passes over us and from the highway beyond our eyelids, our beautiful dreams emerge.

Who knows when we go? Who knows from what direction the winds will come (to take us)? Remember these times through the years, let the night remind you, lest you forget.

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar ; Movie: Julie (1975)
