Song for the insomniac ...
Apr. 21st, 2005 05:13 amCan't sleep and spent money instead, ordered a couple of DVDs and then watched Asoka again. Second time around it is still as haunting and awe-inspiring as the first time.
Aahista - Swades OST
ni.ndiya tuu aa
Oh sleep, come to me
aahista ahista
slowly, slowly
ni.ndiya tuu aa
oh sleep, come to me
in do naino.n me.n
into these two eyes
halke se haule se
softly, gently
kuchh sapne bhole se
some innocent dreams
ni.ndiya tuu laa
oh sleep, bring to me
in do naino.n me.n ho...
into these two eyes
bahe soyii-soyii jaise saarii hawaa'e.n
the winds flow sleepily
samaa bhii hai soya-soya sa
the atmosphere is drowsy
ni.ndiya re ni.ndiya re tu mere a.nganaa re
oh sleep, in my arms
aa jaa re
come to me
in jhuktii palkon pe chha jaa re
spread in these half-closed eyes
aahista aahista
slowly, slowly
ni.ndiya tuu aa
oh sleep, come to me
mulaayam mulaayam sii niilii niilii raat hai
the dark blue night is soft and tender
thapaktii hai is dil ko yaade.n ka'ii
many memories tap on my heart
yaado.n ke paalne me.n koii khoyii khoyii baat hai
in the cradle of dreams lie forgotten matters
ni.ndiya ab aake tu merii biiti lorii gaake
oh sleep, come and sing a lullaby of days gone by
mere khoye sapne dikhlaa de haay
and bring back my lost dreams
yaado.n ka palna jhulaa de
rock the cradle of memories
aahista aahista
slowly, slowly
ni.ndiyaa tuu aa....
oh sleep, come to me
mahakii hawa kii reshmi chaadar kaho to bichhaa duu.n
I can spread a silken blanket of scented air if you wish
niil gagan se chaa.nd ko leke takiya banaa duu.n
from the blue sky I can take the moon to make a pillow
chaa.ndanii laake tumko oRHaake mai.n gungunaa'uu.n giit koii
I can cloak you with the moonbeam and hum a tune
us pal hii chupke se phir ni.ndiya aa jaaye
and that very moment sleep will come to you
palko.n pe jaise THahar jaaye
and rest on your eyelashes
miithi miithi ni.ndiya aaye
sweet sweet sleep will come
aahista aahista ni.ndiya tuu aa
slowly, slowly come oh sleep
in do naino.n men....
into these two eyes
Made two wallpapers tonight, using a new pic of Kajol from the Manish Design site:


YAY! Emer will be in D-Town on the 23rd - so this coming Saturday I will be drooling over every KoH billboard coming our way with Emer in tow :) Hmm... should I show her a pic or two of Hrthik Rohan (and another one)? *evil cackle in the background*
Talked to Ava tonight and it was as if we had never this awful row and parted ways as best friends. I guess time brings wisdom in some ways, definitely in the way of this acquaintance (I'm not saying friendship yet). Will meet on Saturday, 30th and we will see how it goes :)
