This post is not an explanation of Prerna nor an excuse to defend her. Or as a matter of fact to abuse or curse. It’s also not about the men in her life and her relationships. It’s about Prerna at this point of time.

I am a huge fan of Amrita Pritam and a post by Phantom Production house on Manmarziyan about Amrita Pritam made me remember Prerna yearning for her love. Amrita Pritam’s most soulful poetry was Main tennu Phir Milangi

Main Tenu Fir Milaan Gi
Kithey? Kis Tarah? Pata Nai
Shayad Terey Takhayul Di Chinag Ban Ke
Terey Canvas Tey Utraan Gi
Ya Khowrey Terey Canvas Dey Utey
Ikk Rahasmayi Lakeer Ban Ke
Khamosh Tenu Tak Di Rawaan Gi

Yaa Khowrey Sooraj Di Loo Ban Ke

Terey Rangaan Wich Ghulaan Gi

Yaa Rangaan Diyan Bahwaan Wich Baith Ke

Terey Canvas Nuu Walaan Gi

Pata Nai Kiss Tarah? Kithey?

Par Tenu Zaroor Milaan Gi

Yaa Khowrey Ikk Chashma Bani Howaan Gi

Tey Jeevan Jharneyaan Da Paani Udd-da

Main Paani Diyaan Boondaan

Terey Pindey Tey Malaan Gi

Tey Ikk Thandak Jahi Ban Ke

Teri Chaati Dey Naal Lagaan Gi

Main Hor Kujh Nai Jaandi

Par Aena Jaandi

Ke Waqt Jo Vii Karey Ga

Aey Janam Mairey Naal Turey Ga

Aey Jism Mukda Hai
Tay Sab Kujh Muk Jaanda
Par Chaityaan Dey Dhaagey
Kaainaati Kana Dey Hundey
Main Onhaan Kana Nuu Chunaan Gi
Dhaageyaan Nuu Walaan Gi
Tey Tenu Main Fair Milaan Gi…

I will meet you yet again
How and where
I know not
Perhaps I will become a
figment of your imagination
and maybe spreading myself
in a mysterious line
on your canvas
I will keep gazing at you.

Perhaps I will become a ray
of sunshine to be
embraced by your colours
I will paint myself on your canvas
I know not how and where —
but I will meet you for sure.

Maybe I will turn into a spring
and rub foaming
drops of water on your body
and rest my coolness on
your burning chest
I know nothing
but that this life
will walk along with me.

When the body perishes
all perishes
but the threads of memory
are woven of enduring atoms
I will pick these particles
weave the threads
and I will meet you yet again.

Translated by Nirupama Dutta


P.S- This post is for the sadness in her life, her circumstantial foolery yet yearning for her love. Moreover, this post is about how unrequited love could be optimistic as well.

Please refrain from discussing Anurag vs Bajaj. Right or wrong. Just sink in the beauty of those words-about a girl who loved, lost but hoped for a reunion in SOME another time!

It does right? That optimism against dismal unrequited love. A hope to reunite in an alternate universe!
