This Distance ~ Dooriyan

Had a long talk with a dear friend about someone close at heart. If what she told me was true, then what ever i thought before was indeed the truth. Life is so funny, it plays out like a long, dragged out drama. Only mine's not funny... I feel this constant heart burn even when i'm not eating a pile of chillies. I constantly feel incomplete. It's something i don't understand, why and how could people who say they love someone, hurt them bad... It goes to show, i don't understand it myself but i too do it... Purposely hurting the one you love to prove a point, when you know it kills you to do it but you do it anyways... Why? Why are we so twisted? Can't love be simple?

This songs reminds me of the heart burn i told you guys about. The ache i feel all the time... It's in Hindi but there's translations if you want to know what it means. A dear friend asked me why all this fascination with Hindi songs? Well, read the translations and you will know why. They manage to capture the essence of a lot of things. In this case, the distance....

The scene : Saif's character loves Deepika's character to pieces. But a change in their career made the two decide to break it off, saying it was practical. They tried to remain friends but the love always gets in the way of their practicality. In the end, the practicality they hold dear so much, caused them pain.

The question now is, do you fight for the one you love or embrace practicality and be lonely and depressed forever?

I want to fight for the one i love, the question is will they let me?


Yeh doorian
This distance

Yeh doorian
This distance

In raho ki doorian
The distance between paths
Nigahon ki doorian
The distance between eyes
Humraho ki doorian
The distance between companions
Fanna ho sabhi doorian
All these distances should finish

Kyun koi paas hai,
Why someone is near,
door hai Kyun koi,
While someone is away?
jaane na koi yahan pe
Nobody knows this

Aa raha paas ya door mein Ja raha
Am I coming near or going far?
janoo na mein hu kahan pe
I don't know where I am going

Yeh doorian
In raho ki doorian
Nigahon ki doorian
Humraho ki doorian
Fanna ho sabhi doorian
Yeh doorian
Yeh doorian
Yeh doorian

Kabhi hua yeh bhi, khali rahon pe bhi
There was a time, Even on empty path
Tu tha mere saath ,
When you were with me

Kabhi tujhe milke, lauta mere dil yeh Khali khali haath
There was a time when after meeting you my heart
Returned empty handed
Yeh bhi huwa kabhi, jaise huwa abhi
This had happened
As if it has happened just now
Tujko sabhi mein paa liya
I found you in everything

Tera mujhe kar jathi hai doorian
The distances between us make's me your's
Satathi hai doorian
The distances torment me
Tarsathi hai doorian
The distances make me long
Fanna ho sabhi doorian
All these distances should finish.


Kaha bhi na main ne, nahin jeena main ne
I didn't tell you, That I won't live
Tu jo na mila
If I didn't get you

Tujhe bhule se bhi na bola na mein yeh bhi
Chahu fasala
I didn't even say this by mistake
That I want distance
Bas fasala rahe,
Now there is just distance
banke kasak jo kahe
Which say's in the form of pain
Ho aur chahat yeh jawan
That love should blossom

Teri meri mit jani hai doorian
Our distance will finish
Begani hai doorian
The distance is a stranger
Hat jani hai doorian
The distance will go
Fanna ho sabhi doorian
All these distances should finish

Kyun koi paas hai, door hai
Kyun koi jaane na , koi yahan pe
Aa raha paas ya door mein
Ja raha janoo na mein hu kahan pe

Yeh doorian
In raho ki doorian
Nigahon ki doorian
Humraho ki doorian
Fanna ho sabhi doorian
Yeh doorian yeh doorian yeh doorian…
