Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh

behti hawa sa tha woh (tha woh…)
udti patang sa tha woh (tha woh…)
kahan gaya usae dhoondo

hum ko to raahein thi chalati
woh khud apni raah banata
girta, sambhalta, masti mein chalta tha woh

hum ko kal ki fikr sataati
woh bus aaj ka jashn manaata
har lamhe ko khul ke jeeta tha woh

kahan se aaya tha woh (tha woh…)
chhoo ke humare dil ko (tha woh…)
kahan gaya usae dhoondo

sulagti dhoop mein chhaaon ke jaisa
raegistaan mein gaaon ke jaisa
mann ke ghav pe marham jaisa tha woh

hum sahme se rehte koovein mein
woh nadiya mein gotae lagata
ulti dhara cheer ke tairta tha woh

baadal awara tha woh
yaar humara tha woh
kahan gaya usae dhoondo

Bait-bait kata yang sungguh bersih. Jalan cerita bergelumang rasa. Rasa penuh cerita. Dalam memori kita bercheritera cinta.

Well, it depends.

Cerita tentang sentuhan. Cerita tentang kawan.

. . .

he was like a fleeting wind
like a flutterting kite
where did he go? lets find him

while confined channel guided us
he would define his pathways
and loiter along them merrily

while our future haunted us
he would celebrate the present
and live every moment with reckless freedom

where did he come from?
where did he go? lets find him

he was like a shade in sweltering heat
like village in desert
he was like salve for our distress

while we cowered from challenges
he would dive in seas
and swim against the rip currents

he was a wandering cloud
he was our pal
where did he go? lets find him
