Place where I share what I have read and liked.
I must mention that I did not transcribe this song. I got it from manaskriti.com.
Also, I can see that the poem is kind of long. I considered breaking it up into multiple posts, but couldnt come up with 'right' places where the continuity could be broken.
Aha! My favorite! :-). And I do like Amitabh's rendition over Manna-Dey's.I especially love the line - बैर बढ़ाते मस्जिद मन्दिर मेल कराती मधुशाला!।५०।
And who's gonna provide translation for the whole song? :-PThough easy, we demand it! Chal, I'll help with the para that I found most ornamental (the 10th paragraph)...Listen to the sweet sound of wine trickling from the pot to the glass,Listen to the sweet sound of the anklets of the girls serving wine,Look, we are almost there... just 4 steps away,Listen to the chirping of men who r drinking, smell the fragrance from the bar...
Translation follows:"Take a hike":DNo seriously, I am very abd at translating poems. The poem will lose more than half its beauty if I attempt a translation. Besides, my family would disown me if I tried to :)Now, I like Mannadey's better for the tune, and also I feel that his pronunciations are clearer... but Amitabh has an amazing voice.
Lol... I was pulling your leg as I know it'll take ages to translate :-D
