Zindagi ke safar mein guzar jaate hai jo muqaam....

Does this title seem familiar to u?? ok u guessed it rite.. today m gonna rite about this very common topic of my life....

well well... as usual i boarded my office shuttle today wid my ears plugged with the iPod.. i tried to give my heavy eyelids a bit more rest in the early cozy mornin and Kishore Da's voice starts mesmerising me and i go traverse back through the unwritten pages of my life...

Beautifully sang by Kishore Da... Lyrics by Anand Bakshi...

zindagi ke safar mein,guzar jate hain jo makam
woh phir nahin aate,
woh phir nahin aate
zindagi ke safar mein,guzar jate hain jo makam
woh phir nahin aate,
woh phir nahin aate

phool khilte hain,
log milte hain
phool khilte hain,
log milte hain magar
patjhad main jo phool
murjha jate hain
woh baharon ke aane se khilte nahin
kuchh log ek roz jo bichad jate hain
woj hazaron ke aane se milte nahin
umr bhar chahe koi pukara kare unka naam
woh phir nahin aate,
woh phir nahin aate

aap roka hai
kya bharosa hai
aap roka hai kya bharosa hai suno
doston shak dosti ka dushman hai
apne dil me ise ghar babane na do
agar tadapna pade yaad me zindagi
rok lo roothkar unko jaane na do
baad me pyaar ke chahe bhejo hazaroon salaam
woh phir nahi aate
woh phir nahi aate

subaah aate hai
raat jaate hai
subaah aate hai
raat jaate hai yuhi
waqt chalta hi rehta hai rukta nahi
ek pal me ye aage nikal jaata hai
aadmi theek se dekh paata nahin
aur parde pe manzar badal jaata hai
ek baar chale jaate hai jo din raat subaah shaam
woh phir nahi aate
woh phir nahi aate

zindagi ke safar mein,guzar jate hain jo makam
woh phir nahin aate,
woh phir nahin aate

Ok... since the time i can remember my childhood i can associate myself wid so many people... people i met as a child.. as a collegian... as an employee..

Does this song really make you think about all those times in the past and make you visit your memory lane?? wel wel this is wat exactly happened to me... my thoughts wandering as far as i can think of i felt like my entire life was coming in front of me as a movie reel.

"zindagi ke safar mein,guzar jate hain jo makam woh phir nahi aate..." things happened in the past in your life will never occur again... isn't tht so very true??? those nice times we have seen... those bad moments we came across... can we really get those moments back?? those innocent smiles at the day of graduation... those captivating friendly moments... those warm moments spent cuddled in the arms of ones parents... wish we could travel back in time some day... I wonder how many things i could have set straight where i thought i had erred...

"phool khilte hain,log milte hain,patjhad main jo phool murjha jate hain woh baharon ke aane se khilte nahin kuchh log ek roz jo bichad jate hain woj hazaron ke aane se milte nahin umr bhar chahe koi pukara kare unka naam woh phir nahin aate"
Flowers bloom, people meet... those flowers which wilt, will not bloom in a new spring season... people once gone far away.. will not come even if thousands of ppl do come... even if u try calling them for a lifetime.. they dont come back...
Its so very true... words said by us are just like arrows... once they leave our tongue they r very difficult to revert back... use your words sensibly and think twice before hurting ppl close to you... i hav written here from my personal experience... people gone from your life... even if they come back, the bond doesnt remain the same.. there always remains a silent cold war kinda...

"doston shak dosti ka dushman hai
apne dil me ise ghar babane na do
agar tadapna pade yaad me zindagi
rok lo roothkar unko jaane na do
baad me pyaar ke chahe bhejo hazaroon salaam
woh phir nahi aate"
How true... doubts and mistrust in friendship is a vice... we should never give them place in our heart. I have learnt a good lesson from life... if u really like a person, dont let him/her go... it will b very difficult to get them back...

"subaah aate hai raat jaate hai waqt chalta hi rehta hai rukta nahi ek pal me ye aage nikal jaata hai aadmi theek se dekh paata nahin aur parde pe manzar badal jaata hai
ek baar chale jaate hai jo din raat subaah shaam woh phir nahi aate"
A moment gone, is a moment which becomes history... Its impossible to get a single lost moment back... I used to always argue as a child that the same date same, time will come next yr again... but how ignorant I was... i used to forget tht the year will always b different!!! these morning... evening will never be got back again...

As i neared my company tears welled up in my eyes... how true... we tend to hurt ppl we like so much.. just because of minor misunderstandings, useless self ego etc we tend to lose ppl so close to our heart... and we end up in misery...
I made a promise to myself tht i will no longer let this happen to me...
Kudos to you Anand Bakshi Sahab.. for such wonderful thought provoking lyrics and also to Kishore Da for suh an enchanting voice... If it was'nt for you, probably this blog post of mine would never hav come into existence...
As I say gudbye to you, i m still humming tht tune in my mind... "Zindagi ke safar mein guzar jaate hai jo maqaam... woh phir nahi aate... woh phir nahi aate..."
