Old is gold...

तेरे बिना ज़िन्दगी से कोई शिकवा तो नहीं, शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं
तेरे बिना ज़िन्दगी भि लेकिन, ज़िन्दगी तो नहीं, ज़िन्दगी नहीं, ज़िन्दगी नहीं
तेरे बिना ज़िन्दगी से कोई शिकवा तो नहीं

काश ऐसा हो तेरे क़दमो से, चुन के मंजिल चले और कहीं दूर कहीं - २
तुम गर साथ हो, मंजिलों कि कमी तो नहीं
तेरे बिना ज़िन्दगी से कोई शिकवा तो नहीं

जी में आता है, तेरे दामन में, सर झुकाके हम रोते रहें, रोते रहें - २
तेरे भी आँखों में, आंसुओं कि नमी तो नहीं

तुम जो कह दो तो आज ही रात, चाँद डूबेगा नहीं, रात को रोक लो - २
रात कि बात है, और ज़िन्दगी बाकी तो नहीं

Beautiful songs n' lyrics caress the soul, such as this one. Love the lyrics. Just before the 3rd stanza here, they have a small conversation that's so pregnant with meaning that am afraid to actually watch the video for this song lest it not meet my expectations and suffers a miscarriage in my abruptly de-illusioned mind...

Have you ever felt that? Fell so much in love with a song, that you were actually scared to watch the video lest it not meet up to your imagination? There was this one song that bitterly disappointed many (or so I hear)...the song "Chinna chinna aasai" from the movie Roja (1992).
