Anaamika...

I was talking to one of my close friends a few days back... we were discussing about the twists and turns in life... in general... how easy it is to talk to someone who cares and understands! How difficult it gets sometimes... how strong we grow with time... it was a very interesting conversation!

And here is a song I have been listening repeatedly for the past few days... lol... I know the lyrics by heart now...

Meri Bheegi Bheegi Si, Palkon Pe Reh Gayee
Jaise Mere Sapne Bikhar Ke
Jale Man Tera Bhi, Kisi Ke Milan Ko
Anaamika, Tu Bhi Tarse
Meri Bheegi ...

Tujhe Bin Jaane, Bin Pehchaane
Maine Hriday Se Lagaya
Par Mere Pyar Ke Badle Men Tuune
Mujhko Ye Din Dikhalaya
Jaise Biraha Ki Ritu Maine Kati
Tadapake Aanhen Bhar Bhar Ke
Jale Man Tera ...

Aag Se Nata, Nari Se Rishta
Kahe Man Samajh Na Paya
Mujhe Kya Hua Tha, Ik Bevafa Se
Haay Mujhe Kyon Pyar Aaya
Teri Bewafai Pe, Hanse Jag Sara
Gali Gali Guzare Jidhar Se
Jale Man Tera ...

And a rough summary of the song in English...

Like the shattered dreams that were left on my wet eyelashes...
May your mind also burn, Anaamika, may you thirst for the companionship of someone.

I brought you close to my heart without knowing you, without recognizing you...
But in return of my love you showed me these days.
Like I suffered the period of separation, tormented, sighing, may your mind also burn.

Why did my mind not understand that a relationship with a woman is like a bond with fire?
What had happened to me? Why did I fall in love with an unfaithful...
The world will laugh at your infidelity in every lane that you go by.

Interesting song... it is a deeply stirring emotional play of words... What an exquisite name for someone you love... Anaamika... "nameless"... the named "nameless" person you love... I was wondering if you would wish that the person you love would burn in agony just like you... maybe you could wish that they thirst for your companionship, but I do not know how you could wish that they agonise for you... maybe it is true that "any" relationship is like a bond with fire... cannot avoid them, have to get burnt and live with it... huh? Maybe... maybe not... Nevertheless, a really well-rendered, soulful, beautiful song!
