A long lost number by ALAMGIR finally: DEKHTAY HEE DEKHTAY HAMEN PYAR HUA

2011-12-20T05:14:00.000-08:00

Alamgir, the long establiahed icon of Pakistani music has given so many reasons for this nation to be proud of...This particular song "Phool Barsein"....I heared it way back in late 1990s perhaps and then it kind of get lost. I never was able to find it again in last ten years on internet. And suddenly today, here it was....right here on YouTube...since 2009. This in itself shows what mammoth jungle of information we have grown around ourselves, we are kind of lost with it now. Well, the sound quality is very poor and will be obliged if someone could send me better version...but for those growing up in 90s who remember what it felt to watch dramas by sahira kazmi and listen to music by folks like alamgir...here is this one

اک سفر تمام ہوا....اک حیات باقی ہے....If only I could tell you

وقت کی ایک اپنی رفتار اور اپنا رنگ ہوتا ہے.زندگی کے ساتھ چلتے چلتے کئی سنگ میل اے اور گزر گئے. وقت نے ان میں سے کئی پر اپنی گرد اسس طرح سے چھوڑ دی ہے کہ اب خود بھی پہچاننا مشکل ہونے لگا ہے. شاید وقت نے اپنے اثرات ہم پر چھوڑنا آخر کار شروع کر دیے. اور میں شاید خوش قسمت بھی ہوں کہ ان اثرات کا ادراک ہونا بھی شروع ہو گیا ہے. آج جب ایک بار پھر حکم سفر جاری ہونے لگا اہے تو سوچا کہ کچھ تصویر بتاں، کچھ حسینوں کے خطوط اپنے ماضی کی پٹاری سے نکللوں. کچھ مشفقین، کچھ دوست، کچھ خوشیاں اور کچھ رنج ، جو مل کر وہ سب کچھ بناتے ہیں جو میں آج ہوں یا کل ہوں گا. یہ یادیں کسی اور کی نہیں بلکہ میرا اپنا عکس ہیں. گزرتے وقت کی دھندلی پرچھائیوں میں اپنے عکس کو پہچاننے کی ایک کمزور سی کوشش. کیونکہ اب میں بھولنے لگا ہوں. وقت مجھ سے آگے بڑھنے لگا ہے.

So I am going to start a three part series. "Three tales by one Traveler". This series has three themes; Support, Courage and Hope. This series will chronicle two of my past journeys; One through FAST National University, One Through UIIT at Arid Agriculture University and an upcoming Journey; through Foundation University. During this upcoming journey through the hazy alleys of my past and my future, I shall attempt to chronicle the events that made me what I am and the events that I hope will make me what I shall be tomorrow.
So let the journey begib with a melody from Yanni, "If I could only tell you". Because
تمام عمر وہی قصّہ سفر کہنا
کہ آ سکا نہ ہمیں اپنے گھر کو گھر کہنا
