Music Therapy

I cannot imagine myself without music. After long workdays some soft soothing music tempts me more than anything. Just go home, have a glass of refreshing liquid of your taste and hear ghazals. They very well align with my tired and sleepy mood. The lines are so meaningful yet so simple. Like this one (Lyrics: Nida Fazli, Singer: Jagjit)

"Apni Marzi Se Kahan Apne Safar Ke Hum Hain
Rukh Hawaaon Ka Jidhar Ka Hai Udhar Ke Hum Hain

Pehle Har Cheez Thi Apni Magar Ab Lagta Hai
Apne Hi Ghar Mein Kisi Doosre Ghar Ke Hum Hain

Waqt Ke Saath Mitti Ka Safar Sadiyon Se
Kisko Maaloom Kahan Ke Hain Kidhar Ke Hum Hain

Chalte Rehte Hain Ke Chalnaa Hai Musaafir Ka Naseeb
Sochte Rehte Hain Kis Raah Guzar Ke Hum Hain "

This lines remind me my college days. In Zee TV a daily soap used to come named "Sailaab" with these lines as its title song. Some how the lines catched me and I am glued to the song from that day. Strangely enough this song vents away my sadness, tension and helpless feeling up to a large extent. Where are we from? Where we are going? Where it ends? Nobody knows. We just keep on walking as it is the only task a traveller can do when uncertain of the destination.

Another song that touches my heart very much is from film "Rog". There is some raw energy and sadness in this song that will grip you nonetheless where and in which circumstances you are in. Such powerful words.

Maine Dil se kaha dhund lana khusi
Nasamajh laya ghum, to ye gham he sahi

Bechara kahan janta hai
Khalis hai ye kya khala hai
Sahar bhar ki khusi se
ye dard mera bhala hai
Jasn ye raaz sunaye
maza to bas gham me aya hai

Kabhi hai ishq ka ujala
kabhi hai maut ka andhera,
batao kaun bhes hoga
me jogi banu ya lutera
kai chehren hain is dil ke

najane kaunsa mera

Hazaron aise fasle the
jo tair karne chale the
Rahi magar chal padi thi
aur piche hum rah gaye the
Kadam do chaar chal payen
ki ye phere tere manke

Maine Dil se kaha dhund lana khusi
Nasamajh laya ghum, to ye gham he sahi

(I was searching for some happieness but only ended up heart broken! How starnge it is, that sometimes we stick to the painful memories rather than moving on and celebrating life .

Sometimes there is glory of love,
sometimes silence of death,
I don't know which is mine
where I am supposed to go
So many facets of this heart,
who will tell where to lie low?

There was so much distance between us, we wanted to cover, yet before starting jouney, our roads moved apart. Just two steps, we took together and then left alone with the memories.)

So, buddies… feeling sad.. Turn on some music according to your taste and sleep tight. There is always a fresh morning that awaits the horrible gloomy night.
