like no other feeling

The lovely Koompassia Excelsa, catching the first rays of light on May 20, 2010.

dhuaan dhuaan tha woh samaan

yahaan wahaan jaane kahan

tuu aur main kahin mile the pehele

dekha tujhe toh dil ne kaha
....

tera mujhse hai pehele ka naata koi

yuun hi nahin dil lubhaata koi
....
dekho abhi khona nahin
kabhi judaa hona nahin
abke yuun hi mile rahenge donon
waada raha yeh iss shyaam ka

i think i drove my room mate and people two rooms down nuts by singing this over and over. but it was an overpowering, consuming feeling, whenever i saw these wonderful sentinels of time.
