WO KAGAZ KI KASHTI, WO BARISH KA PAANI
By Jagjit Singh

Yeh Daulat Bhi Le Lo,
Yeh Shohrat Bhi Le Lo,
Bhale Chheen Lo Mujhse Se Meri Jawani

Yeh Daulat Bhi Le Lo,
Yeh Shohrat Bhi Le Lo,
Bhale Chheen Lo Mujhse Se Meri Jawani
Magar Mujhko Lauta Do bachpan Ka Sawan..
Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti, wo Baarish Ka Paani..
Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti, wo Baarish Ka Paani..

Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti, wo Baarish Ka Paani..

Take this money,
take this fame as well,
snatch my youth from me if you so wish,
but return me those rains of childhood,
that paper boat, that rain-water..

Muhalle Ki Sabse Purani Nishani,
Muhalle Ki Sabse Purani Nishani,
Wo Budhia Jise Bachche Kehte The Naani,
Wo Naani Ki Baaton Me Parion Ka Dera,
Wo Chehre Ki Jhurrion Me Sadiyon Ka pehra,
Bhulaye Nahin Bhul Sakta Hai Koi,
Wo Chhoti Si Raaten, Wo Lambi Kahani
Wo Chhoti Si Raaten, Wo Lambi Kahani
Wo Chhoti Si Raaten, Wo Lambi Kahani

the oldest sign of area,
that old lady children used to call naani (maternal grandma)
that camp of fairies in the granny's talks,
that guard of ages in the wrinkles of face,
no one can forget even on trying,
those small nights, that long story...

Kabhi Ret Ke Oonche teelo Pe Jana
Kabhi Ret Ke Oonche teelo Pe Jana
Jana, Jana, Jana
Kabhi Ret Ke
Jana
Kabhi Ret Ke Oonche teelo Pe Jana
Gharonde Banana, Bana ke Mitana
Wo Masoom Chahat Ki Tasveer Apni
Wo KhwaboN KhilaunoN Ki Jaageer Apni
Na Duniya Ka Gam Tha Na RishtoN Ke Bandhan
Na Duniya Ka Gam Tha Na RishtoN Ke Bandhan
Badi Khoobsurat Thi Wo Zindagani..
Badi Khoobsurat Thi Wo Zindagani..

sometimes going on the high sand-hills,
making sand castles and destroying them,
that innocent face of love,
that estate of dreams and toys,
neither there was the sorrow of world, nor the bonds of relationships,
that life was so beautiful..

Yeh Daulat Bhi Le Lo,
Yeh Shohrat Bhi Le Lo,
Bhale Chheen Lo Mujhse Se Meri Jawani
Magar Mujhko Lauta Do bachpan Ka Sawan..
Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti, wo Baarish Ka Paani..
Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti, wo Baarish Ka Paani..

Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti, wo Baarish Ka Paani..

Take this money,
take this fame as well,
snatch my youth from me if you so wish,
but return me those rains of childhood,
that paper boat, that rain-water..

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Jagjit Singh. I am left transported, enthralled, joyful and preferring deep silence.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
