Dil dhundhata hai phir

Mausam/Gulzar/Madanmohan/Bhupinder/1975

The heart searches for those days and nights
of leisure
as I sit contemplating the life gone by.

Lying in the courtyard taking in the warmth of the winter Sun
under the shade of your pallav
those days the heart searches for.

Or enjoying the breeze on summer evenings
pulling over cool white sheets
gazing at the star-studded skies
those nights the heart searches for.

Listening to the silence of the valleys
in snowclad mountains
wetting the gaze with those precious moments
The heart searches for those days and nights.
