Bichhdey abhi to hum, bas kal parso,Jiyoongi main kaisey, is haal mein barson?
Maut na aayi, teri yaad kyon aayi,
Haaye, lambi judaai...
- Anand Bakshi, 'Hero', 1983
Roughly translated as:
We have been seperated just by a day or two,
How am I going to go on this way for years?
Death doesn't come; why, instead, do these memories of you?
Oh, this long seperation!
