The First Love Letter


The silken voice of Jagjeet singh ji has helped me recover from many a traumatic incidents in my life..the loss of my father or my first love
He is a God figure in my life
This ones an effort to translate his Ghazals for the non hindi urdu background people to understand him better.Its also a tribute to a new fragrance in my life thats transforming me as I speak.....




Pyar ka pehla khat likhne mein waqt to lagta hai,
Naye parindo ko udne mein waqt to lagta hai...

Jism ki baat nahi thi un ki, dil tak jana tha,
Lambi duri tai karne me, waqt to lagta hai..

Gaanth agar lag jaye to phir, rishte ye dori,
Lakh kare koshish khulne me, waqt to lagta hai..

Hamne ilaaz jokhme dil ko, dhar liya lekin,
Gahre zakhmo ko bharne me, waqt to lagta hai





To write the first love letter takes time my love
it takes time for the new birds to fly
It was not the body that I wanted acess to
but the heart I wanted to win over
to cover such marathon distances does take time my love
If a relationship has a knot
not even your herculean efforts can do much
it takes time for the relationship to become like before
I have siezed the blood flow in my wounded heart
but then it takes time for old wounds to heal my friend
To write the first love letter takes time my love
