Rahe naa Rahe hum…..

Dard se mera daaman bhar de ya Allah! (दर्द से मेरा दामन भर दे या अल्लाह !)

She had filled my being with pain, longing, mischief, love, romance…you name it! The effervescent voice with pain poignant or the tinkle  of teenage, the fullness of youth, motherly affection…she had mesmerised us, roused our sensations and as people say she made us yearn for someone who did not even exist, she made us love like no tomorrow!

Zindagi pyar ka geet hai, ise har dil ko gana padega! (जिंदगी प्यार का गीत है, इसे हर दिल को गाना पड़ेगा !)

And we sang with her, mourned, marvelled, danced with her. Decades after decades the voice had cascaded through time, awaking emotions unexplored!
