YAADBy: Fazil Jamili

Tum hanstee thee jaisey saawan gaa'ye malhaar

Tum rotee theejaisey baarish, woh bhi moosla dhaar

Tum chaltee theesubah saweray jaisey chaley hawa

Tum ruktee theemaang raha ho jaisey koi dua

Tum sotee theetoot rahi ho jaisey koi angrraayee

Mein ney jitney mosam dekhhey yaad tumhaaree aayee

Translation:

[REMEMBRANCE You laughed, as if the rainy season is singing malhar You wept, as if it is raining, that too in torrents You walked, as the breeze blows early in the morning You stopped, as if someone is praying Your slept, as a broken yawn In every season of the year, I could only think of you ''Sawan:'' rainy season ''malhar:'' a kind of song said to induce rain ]
