its almost dinner time and mansoor is singing in his soulful voice

dobare madar buzorg rakht e no suzan zade
tokhm e murghe rangi am az qafas dar aumade

i am transported to my hostel room where i would listen to mansoor for hours together rewinding certain songs again and again...just lying on my cot letting mansoor take me to a different plane

aks man barakse toh aasheqtarine
chun hanoozam aashique toh nazneene
alahi har ki mano bi toh bebine
mesle man be khaqe dil tangi beshine
qalabe man aasheqtarine
farqe man ba toh hamine

mansoor is no sufi or classical singer..he sings songs of pure longing and love but the words are simple yet profound and his voice seems to carry so much pain...probably his style ...but has given and still gives me immense pleasure

    Looks like you have finally taken refuge to Ghalib's words
    "khayal hi to hai, badal sakta hai"

    You should probably keep on writing, I like the way you put up words,'Devouring the pages one by one' hahahahahh .
