Ek din fursat

Ek din fursat ne thaame haath hamaare
Le gayi us dagar pe jahan rehti hain baharein
Chal diye hum bhi ghar se ho ke kuch befikar se
Dil tha apne bharose hum the dil ke sahaare
Ek din...

Raah mein mod aaya
roshni ho gayi kam
Kuch dil ghabraaya
ke kahan aa gaye hum?
Aage us mod ke bhi
toh bahaarein nahi thi
Bhuli kuch khwaishein aur
khwaab the bas hamaare
Ek din...

Bewajah lag rahi thi
jab talaash hamari
Ek khushboo uthi aur
rut badal gayi saari
Saamne tum khade the
phelaa ke baahein
Jaise har dard mera
khud mein loge samaayein
Pal bada mukhthsar tha,
tere seene pe sar tha
Yun laga mar na jaaye
itni khushiyon ke maare
Ek din...

This song which is sung by Sunidhi Chauhan in the film Zindaggi Rocks plays in the background of the video that appears under my new page element Mood Swing. I love the lyrics specially the second stanza. I am sure when my search (talaash) ends I'll sing this part to that someone. ;)

Below is my own English translation. Couldn't succeed in rhyming in many places. :(

Anyway. Here goes...

One day leisure held my hands
Took me the road where spring was residing
We too left from home without much worry
The heart was reling on us, while on the heart we were trusting
One day...

There came a bend in the road
And the light became dim
The heart felt bewildered
Wondering where we had come?
Even beyond that bend
Nothing beautiful could be seen
Just some forgotten wishes and
Some of our dreams
One day...

Without cause was looking
This search of mine when
Arose a fragrance and
It changed the whole season then
You were standing in front
With open arms
As if my every pain
Inside you, you'll hide
The moment was short
On your shoulders my head was resting
It felt I might die
Because of all the happiness
One day...
