Gulzar - The Poet Everyone Knows

Come, Let Us Build A Night

Come, let us build a night

On the marble edifice of silence

let us swathe ourselves in the sheets of darkness,

and ignite the twin candles of our bodies . . .

When dew arrives on tiptoe,

let it not discern even the whisper of our breaths

In the silken fragrance of mist,

entwined let us lie, like fragrance itself —

Draped in the earthy aroma of our bodies,

Let us, like spirits, rustle forever . . .

Beautiful. Gulzar's range is incredible. From Bollywood songs to ghazals, nazms and shayari, he has a vast repertoire.
