Music and lyrics

If after 24 years of your life, u come to realise that there is something known as lyrics which till now u were completely oblivious abt, makes u really wonder wat were u doin all these years?

(This is not the first time I ve felt like this though);-)
its this sudden fascination/realization with lyrics that has left me completely speechl;ess and l keep cursing myself for all those years wasted in not understanding poetry.
However the positive thing is that each and every song is like a new one to u.

Now slowly but surely u start understanding this stuff and it doesn’t take u long to figure out y ppl like gulzar are revered in this country.

So currently this stuff is driving me crazy ,however one thing that tops the list is Urdu ghazala and shayari.
Hard to belive,but is such a short period of time have become a big fan of shayari

I always liked ghulam ali and Mehndi hassans of the world but now with the lyrics I am on a diffrnt planet..

However as its always the case, u are inclined to listen and feel only those things that match your current emotional state and if u want that feeling Of VOW
9 out of 10 times that’s the case.

Neways this mehndi hasan ghazal Just sums up my current state-

The mukhda goes-

Humein koi gham nahi tha
Gham e aashiqui se pehle
Na thi dushmani kisise
Teri dosti se pehle.

However The antara is wat is killer -

Yeh ajeeb imtehaan hai
Ke tumhi ko bhulna hai
Mile kab the istarah Hum
Teri bedilli (indifference) se pehle
