We'll always remember, Tonight...!!!

Something came to my mind and I started humming the words,

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things......

Yeah, you are right, it's from a movie from 90's, "The Lion King", a beautiful song by Sir Elton John and Tim Rice, " Can you feel the love tonight".

For a change, I saw the words in a different context today, and this is for all of you out there who believes in true love, who lives for love and one who waits for love, don't give up, keep searching your soul and your soul mate.

Once you find your love, do everything possible to keep the relationship fresh, as fresh as the first time, when you met, when you embraced your love in your arms, when you let the heart do the talking, when you were all eager to hear out till the dawn, when you thought, Oh Lord, let there be no end to this night.

Remember, somewhere inside of you there will always be the person, you have been that night...!!!

" ये दिल है मेरा

एक खाली मकान सा

सुना है आएगा तू

आज की रात

इसे बसायेगा तू ,

होगी कितनी अनोखी

सपनों की रात

जब मिलेगी मंज़िल

आज की रात ,

क़ैद थी अब तक

बंद डिब्बों में उमंगें

खाली कमरे से दिल में

खाली थे अरमान

होगी अब चन्दन की सुरभि

दीयों की लौ

आज की रात,

एक मीठा अहसास

एक मीठा सन्नाटा

सपनों की रात

हौसलों की रात,

एक अनोखे मुसाफिर के साथ

एक नए सफर की रात

आज की रात,

फूलों की चादर

एक ठंडा झोंका

मदहोश चांदनी

टिमटिमाते तारे

गूँजेंगे सन्नाटे

होगा मधुर विश्वास

आज की रात,

खुद में सिमटती मैं

उड़ते हुए क़दम

बेपनाह इंतज़ार

न आएगी दोबारा

ऐसी मधु मिलन की रात

कैसी अनोखी होगी

आज की रात....."

Translation:

Oh! this heart of mine be an empty house,

i hear; to settle this adobe

you shall come tonight.

Oh! how wondrous, dreamy be this night, 

the destiny yearned be reached tonight.

immured was ecstasy, as if in boxes,

empty heart,empty room, empty of desires

now be fragrant as sandalwood;

bright from lights of many lamps,

this be the night, tonight.

sweet ardour, mellow is the silence,

a dreamy night, night be spirited,

a journey new, compeer sans compare

this be the night, tonight.

draped in flowers a whiff of breeze,

oh! heady! the moonshine, the sparkling stars, 

echos mellow the silence, sweet is this trust

this be the night, tonight. 

I embrace myself as my heart flies

Oh! a wait this long ,won't come again, 
this night, we meet; the sweet embrace

oh! wondrous be the night, tonight...!!!
