First Hindi Cover- "O Sanam"


I have so many hindi songs that I love but its hard to find chords for them. Anyway, one of my favourties is "O Sanam" from Lucky Ali.




The video for the song can be hallucinating without even trying to be so ... the eyes of Lucky Ali's wife are the cornerstone of the video. Set against the backdrops of the pyramids, the video burns itself into your memory the very first time that you see it. It communicates longing, pain and the trysts of life in an etheral, poignant and yet straightforward manner. The song is a reflection on love itself against the backdrop of an impermanent reality ....

translated, the last verse reads
"to the world, the heart is but a toy
we will certainly die someday, why should we love?
But for now, do not steal glimpses of me,
And do not forget me when I die"

And the last couple of lines are

"You live in my eyes, but are far away
But this I do know, you are close to my heart"
