Marasim

Am working from home today and as usual am listening to music while finalising the equity model for CtrlS. Happened to come across this song from an album called 'Marasim' by Gulzar.

Something struck me real hard while listening to this. The small narration (prologue) at the start of the song is real class. Did a quick google search and here is the output.

Marasim means 'relation' and the song 'Mujhko Bhi Tarkeeb Sikha De yaar julahe' is about a wistful look at relationships. About the transience of relationships. Here are the 'out of the world' lyrics.
Mujhko Bhi Tarkeeb Sikha De Yaar Julahe
अकसर तुझको देखा है कि ताना बुनते
जब कोई तागा टूट गया या खत्म हुआ
फिर से बांध के
और सिरा कोई जोड़ के उसमे
आगे बुनने लगते हो
तेरे इस ताने में लेकिन
इक भी गांठ गिरह बुन्तर की
देख नहीं सकता कोई
मैनें तो एक बार बुना था एक ही रिश्ता
लेकिन उसकी सारी गिराहें
साफ नजर आती हैं मेरे यार जुलाहे

Guess if anything can beat these great lyrics.
