raat yun

Last night your faded memory came to me
As in the wilderness spring comes quietly,
As, slowly, in the desert, moves the breeze,
As, to a sick man, without cause, comes peace.

Faiz Ahmed Faiz (translated by Vikram Seth)

Hear it being read out by Faiz and sung by Nayarra Noor (made famous by Dhoop-Kinare) at

Dhoop Kinare was something intrinsc to my childhood. To have it return to me, is to be given back a memory of incredible innocence.
