Keh do in hasraton se kahin aur jaa basen
Itni jagah kahan hai dil-e-daagdaar mein
Song: Lagta nahin hai jee mera
Lyrics: Bahadur Shah Zafar (allegedly)
Singer: Habib Wali Mohammad
Dil khaakh ho gaya yeh kisi ko khabar nahi
Sab yeh samajh rahe hain tamanna nikal gayi
Song: Duniya badal gayi
Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni
Singers: Shamshad Begum and Talat Mahmood
I love locating, in Urdu/ Hindi poetry, psychoanalytically informed descriptions of a variety of human conditions.
The above mentioned are examples of what Bowlby and others would call "Avoidant Attachments"
Sigh.
Someone asked me few years ago if I "only listened to the world's most sad songs". I said I found more beauty in sad songs.
Isn't it wonderful when the expression of sadness is as lovely as this?
