Man re..

Man re, tu kaahe na dheer dhare;
O nirmohi moh na jaane jinka moh kare..

Movie: Chitralekha
Singer: Md Rafi
Music: Roshan
Lyrics: Sahir

The poetry of Sahir, the sitar of Roshan and the rendition of Rafi! What else would one ask for? I can only talk about words here and so I would.

Check these lines out-

Utna hi upkaar samajh koi jitna saath nibhaa de,
Janam maran ka mel hai sapna yeh sapna bisraa de,
Koi na sang mare,
Man re..

You need to have experienced the life to appreciate these lines. How true! What are we but fleeting moments living and dying at the same time! Why quest for permanance when it exists nowhere except in our words? And on a second thought, would not permanace steal the beauty from everything that is beautiful?
