PARINEETA

ik nadi thi,
jo kabhi bhi,
sagar se milnaa saki...

raste ke parbaton ko,
paar kar na saki...

rookhi si sookhi si,
pyaasi adhuri s,i
ab tak bichchi hai wahan.......

ek qatraa aansu kaa,
ussmey par baaki hai,
meri hi tarhaa piyaa...

piyu bole.........kya ye boley....jiya dole....kyun ye....jaanu naaa....


( This sad version of the song 'Piyu Bole' from 'Parineeta' never found its way to the movie or the album is still lying in some corner of my heart as it describes its own destiny ! )
