Re: Ik dil walon ki basti thi...
Ik dil walon ke basti thi, Jahan chand aur suraj rehtay thay, Kuch suraj mun ka pagal tha, Kuch chand bhi shokh chanchal tha, Basti basti phirtay thay, Her pal hanstay rehtay thay, Phir ik din dono rooth gaey, Or saaray supnay toot gaey, Ab chand bhi us waqt aata hai, Suraj jab so jata hai, Badal shub say kehtay hain, Suraj uljha sa rehta hai, Chand k saath sitaray hain per, Suraj tunha rehta hai...
Lovers once lived here -
the sun and the moon.
The sun was somewhat crazy.
The moon somewhat edgy.
They wandered around the dwellings.
They laughed together, always.
Then one day they broke up
And all dreams went away.
Now the moon rises
When the sun is waning.
The clouds tell the mornings:
The sun is showing anxiety.
The moon has the stars
But the sun is always lonely.
