Likha hain teri aankhon mein

Likha hain teri aankhon mein kisska afsaana
Likha hain teri aankhon mein kisska afsaana
Agar isse samajh sako, mujhe bhi samjhaana
Likha hain teri aankhon mein kisska afsaana

Jawaabsa kisi tamanna ka, likha toh hain magar adhura sa
Arre o…
Jawaabsa kisi tamanna ka, likha toh hain magar adhura sa
Kaisi na ho meri har baat adhuri, abhi hun adha deewaana

Likha hain teri aankhon mein kisska afsaana
Agar isse samajh sako, mujhe bhi samjhaana
Likha hain teri aankhon mein kisska afsaana

Jo kuchh nahin to yeh ishaare kyon, thehar gaye mere sahaare kyon
Arre o….
Jo kuchh nahin to yeh ishaare kyon, thehar gaye mere sahaare kyon
Thoda sa haseenon ka sahaara leke chalna, hain meri aadat rozana

Likha hain teri aankhon mein kisska afsaana
Agar isse samajh sako, mujhe bhi samjhaana
Likha hain teri aankhon mein kisska afsaana

Yahaan wahaan fiza mein awaara, abhi talak yeh dil hain bechaara
Arre o…
Yahaan wahaan fiza mein awaara, abhi talak yeh dil hain bechaara
Dil ko tere toh hum khaak na samajhe, tujhhi ko humne pehchaana

Likha hain teri aankhon mein kisska afsaana
Agar isse samajh sako, mujhe bhi samjhaana
Likha hain teri aankhon mein kisska afsaana

S and I are celebrating 2019 as the year of women on our blog. Women whom we admire on-screen and off will thus be the focus of this year’s lyrical compilations on Bollyverse. I am starting the year off with an ode to the lovely Nanda, whose birth anniversary it is on January 8. I remember reading/hearing that Nanda had a tough life. After her father, a popular actor-director, passed away, she started working as a child actor to fend for the family. Never having married in spite of many offers, this leading lady of the ’60s and ’70s got engaged to director Manmohan Desai but he died before the wedding could take place. She was alone at home when she had a heart attack and collapsed in 2014. I am hoping her life was full of friends and family. I like remembering her as the girl next door of Teen Devian, with a ready smile and full of life.  ~ R
