Aafreen Aafreen

[sandykins]

I've heard this song many times over and over again and enjoyed it most for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's raspy voice.

But this time round, I paid more attention to the lyrics and the following lines kept me craving for more! Ah..poetry!!!

"Aankhein Neechi Huwi To Haya Bun Gayi
Aankhein Unchi Howi To Dua Bun Gayi
Aankhein Uth Ker Jhuki To Ada Bun Gayi
Aankhein Jhuk Ker Uthi To Qaza Bun Gayi
Aankhein Jin Mein Qaid Aasman O Zameen
Nargisi Nargisi, Surmayi Surmayi
Aafreen Aafreen, Aafreen Aafreen "

Wah Wah!!
I tried to translate as best as I could..but aborted the attempt. It was killing the verse!
For those who are not familiar with the lang, I might update it later if I find a decent translation :)

Oops.. forgot to acknowledge the genius who penned these words! All time favorite Javed Akhtar ji!!! Was discussing with
oldpondfrog the versatility of this person! From Aafreen to Agar mein kahoon (lakshya)...
