Who/What are you searching for ?

It was one of those regular saturdays .... AP had made plans to watch the movie Ranjhana ... Our last moview together - English Vinglish was not exactly a pleasant experience with me whaling away the 3 hrs deleting SMSes ..... So it was with apprehension that I went for Ranjhana  the so called Different Love story whose 1 liners were becoming a craze on the internet..... Also there was a bit of controversy over the hindu and muslim roles by the lead characters .... And so with all this confusions I went and I was dead bored by the time first interval was approaching .... And it was at this time , the entire movie came apart with this song which in a very beautiful way mixed the longing for love with the longing for the salvation and the eternal peace

Jis ko dhoondhe baahar baahar
Wo baithaa hai bheetar chhup ke
Tere andar ek samandar kyoon dhoondhe dubke dubke..


Akal ke parde peechhe kar de
Ghoonghat ke pat khol de
Orey piyaa, piyaa
Tohe piyaa milenge, milenge
Tohe piyaa milenge, milenge..


Paa ke khona, kho ke paana
Hota aaya re
Sang saathi saa hai wo to
Wo hai saayaa re


Dagaa tune kee naa
Bas jee se jee mere
Bone seene mein wo tere dheeme dheeme re


Jo hai dekhaa, wo hi dekha to kyaa dekhaa hai
Dekho wo jo auron ne naa kabhee dekhaa hai
Nainon se naa aisa kuchh dekhaa jaata hai
Nainaa meecho to wo sab dikh jaataa hai
Tohe piya milenge..


Usi ko paana, usee ko chhoona, kaheen pe wo naa, kaheen pe tu naa
Usi ko paana, usee ko chhoona, kaheen pe wo na, kaheen pe tu naa
Jahaan pe wo naa, wahaan pe soonaa, Yahaan pe soonaa..
 

Tohe piya milenge, piya milenge, milenge
Tohe piya milenge, milenge milenge..  

 


The translation ---

The one that you search for, outside,
He's sitting inside (you), hiding..
There is a sea inside you, why do you search here and there..


Move the curtains of mind behind,
and open the veil..
You'll find your beloved..
You'll find your beloved...


To lose after finding, and to find after losing,
it has been happening (for long)..
He is with (you) like a companion,
He's a shadow..
 

You haven't cheated anyone,
Just live from my heart..
I have to sow Him in your heart slowly...


What have you seen if you've only seen that you have seen (with your eyes)
See what no one else has ever seen..
Such things are not seen with eyes..
If you close your eyes, everything can be seen..
You'll find your beloved..


I have to get him only, I have to touch him alone,
Nowhere do I find him, nowhere are you there..
Where he's not there, there it's emptiness.. here, there is emptiness..
