As Anu stared out of the window, the city lights blurred into streaks, mirroring the storm within him. His fists clenched unconsciously as memories flooded back-his naanu's warm laughter, the bedtime stories, the way he used to ruffle Anu's hair with affection.
He exhaled sharply, trying to push the thoughts away, but the encounter today had shattered the walls he had built around his pain. That man-the murderer-was alive, walking free, while naanu was just a memory.
Anu took a deep breath, feeling the weight of his emotions pressing down on him. He needed an escape, a release-something to silence the storm raging inside him. Anu picked up his guitar, his fingers trembling slightly as they strummed the first few chords. His voice, soft yet heavy with emotion, filled the silent room.
Jhootha jag rain basera
Saancha dard mera
Mrig trishna sa moh piya
Naata mera tera
Naina.. jo saanjhe khwab dekhte thhe
Naina.. bichhad ke aaj ro diye hain yoon
Naina.. jo milke raat jaagte thhe
sehar mein palke meechte hain yoon
Juda huye kadam
Jinhone li thi yeh kasam
Milke chalenge hardum
Ab baant'te hain ye gham
Bheege naina..
Jo khidkiyon se jhaankte thhe
Naina.. ghutan mein
bandh ho gaye hain yun
The words carried the weight of his grief, each note unraveling the pain buried deep in his heart. His naanu had once been his world-his guide, his protector. But now, all that remained were memories, like a fading melody lost in time.
Saans hairan hai
Mann pareshaan hai
Ho rahin si kyun ruaansa
ye meri jaan hai
Kyun nirasha se hain
Aas haari huyi
Kyun sawaalon ka utha sa
Dil mein toofaan hain
His voice cracked, but he didn't stop. He let the sorrow flow through the music, pouring out everything he had suppressed for years. His fingers pressed harder against the strings, the melody intensifying as his emotions swelled.
Images of his naanu flashed before him-the gentle eyes that once looked at him with pride, the warm smile that made everything feel safe. And now, those eyes, that smile, were gone.
Naina.. thhe aasmaan ke sitaare
Naina.. grahan mein
