Someone Somewhere is the album which was released in memory of jagjit and chitra’s beloved son who died in an accident..I have never felt that much pain in their voice in any other album so far..and as usual I would appreciate it’s lyrics too which made the album hit that time.It’s been long since I have listen to this album but still I remember few shayaris of one ghazals which I liked most.. I think all of the Gazhals in this album are excellent but this one is so near to present condition of population.
lyrics goes this way.
har taraf har jagah beshumar aadmi,
phir bhi tanhaiyon ka shikar aadmi,
subah se shaam tak boj dhota hua,
apni hi laash ka khud mazar aadmi.
(lash= dead body and mazar = tomb)
har taraf bhagte dodte raste
har taraf aadmi ka shikar aadmi.
you can see that this gazhal is so near to today’s condition. you can see everywhere lots of people but still each one of them are alone. no one cares for anyone.In big cities like Bombay, Delhi or New York or any other metropolitan cities you can see that people wake up early morning and rush for their work and then come back late night..Don’t u think it is related to the second shayari??
subah se shaam tak boj dhota hua,
apni hi laash ka khud mazar aadmi.
thanx
