It haunts my mind,
Like a wandering spirit.
The mingling of harmonious voices,
Singing the lyrical words,
Woven into melodious music.
The black and white images,
Dance in front of my eyes.
I watch her shy away, lowering her gaze.
I watch him approach, with a longing.
They sing of their eternal love,
In that place, In that land.
Nothing was spoken,
But everything was understood.
Fantasy existed on the big screen,
And reality opposite it.

The image on the left is from the movie "Shree 420" starring Raj Kapoor and Nargis. The song is "Pyaar Hua"... This post is dedicated to all those old songs which capture the essence of beautiful emotions perfectly. As cliched as it might sound, it is true when they say: "Old is Gold"
