Translation:
Perhaps, I can never ever convey…
Yet, you may still know it, perhaps.
Perhaps, you march into my dream one day…
And we meet like lost pals, perhaps!
Should you be not here with me,
I myself become an absentee…
Wish I nothing – more than you,
nor do I desire – anything less than thee.
Tapping into the dreams unseen,
I would take often – a leap of proposing,
treating myself with the answers…
I wish you did.
Finding odd jobs for doing,
regardless of where I should be heading,
I would land myself the occasions…
I wish you did.
These aspirations shall continue of course,
with no point of expiry.
Wish I nothing – more than you,
nor do I desire – anything less than thee.
Should you be not here with me,
I myself become an absentee…
Wish I nothing – more than you,
nor do I desire – anything less than thee.
– Dedicated to all such old pals that do often meet each other in the dreams and perhaps say to each other what remained unsaid.
Original:
Shayad kabhi na kehe sakoon main tumko
Kahe bina samajh lo tum shayad
Shayad mere khayal mein tum ik din
Milo mujhe kahin pe ghum shayadJo tum na ho… rahenge hum nahin
Jo tum na ho… rahenge hum nahin
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahinJo tum na ho… toh hum bhi hum nahi
Jo tum na ho… toh hum bhi hum nahi
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahinAankhon ko khaab dena
Khud hi sawaal karke
Khud hi jawaab dena teri taraf se
Bin kaam kaam karna
Jaana kahin ho chaahe
Har baar hi guzarna teri taraf seYe koshishein toh hongi kam nahin
Ye koshishein toh hongi kam nahin
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahinJo tum na ho… rahenge hum nahin
Jo tum na ho… toh hum bhi hum nahin
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahin
– Original lyrics by: Irshad Kamil (renowned poet and Bollywood lyricist)
Some original couplets inspired in the same vein of the song (written as ghazal).
Perhaps, you would meet me in some field, beyond the fields of any written destiny... Perhaps! Perhaps, stars would align themselves again, like a sight of bloomed daffodils, perhaps. Perhaps, paths of ours would come across again, secrets in hearts too would unravel, perhaps! Perhaps, little love we would surely dare to confess, yet alsp keep what would remain unsaid, perhaps! Perhaps, I wouldn't go out of your sight again, Or you may end up seeing I never left, perhaps! "forever" may last perhaps longer than forever, you and I would only remain but together - Perhaps! - Majestic
Serenades of a dreamer...
