Yeh Pal

Almost ten years after I wrote it, this song found a new life after we jammed with Pt. Vinod Misra. I wrote these words on a train from Bhopal to Delhi. It was Pt. Misra who revealed to me that the song has roots in Raag Bhopali.

Oh Love

Sitting on a park bench, watching people.
Never know just who or what will come by.
A class from 2nd grade, a bunch of weirdos on parade,
A girl I used to know in Junior High.
There’s a man who looks just like Pat Sajak.
I asked him if I could buy a vowel.
I guess he’d heard that before, he said, “Sure, there are four,”
“You wanna buy some more or solve the puzzle now?

A man who asked me if I had a quarter.
I didn’t, but I gave him a dollar bill.
A bunch of kids on skates, a lawyer running late.
Someone’s grandma selling daffodils.
A man came by and asked if he could join me.
I said I didn’t know I was coming apart.
He grinned, told me his name, I grinned back and did the same,
Then for forty-five minutes he opened up his heart.

I should be happy with this life I’ve got.
I should be happy, but I’m ‘fraid I’m not.
I should be happy, but I find, happy’s just a waste of time.
Sadness comes along and smooths things out.

He proceeds to share with me his story.
I could not believe the tales he spun.
Some lives have been charmed, some lives have been harmed,
But my new friend, he’d had neither one.
“Everything I touch,” he said’s, “been middling.
I have never had the highs, nor lows.
You may think that sounds grand, but what you fail to understand,
Is that it gets so lonely with no place to go.

He asked me if I thought I was happy.
I paused to think it through, then I agreed.
“That’s what I once thought,” he said, “Least what I was taught instead
Of looking at my life with honesty.
But I noticed all those peaks and valleys
Started looking like a parking lot.
It was flat, it was square, and it never went anywhere,
I spent all my time just looking for my spot.

I should be happy with this life I’ve got.
I should be happy, but I’m ‘fraid I’m not.
I should be happy, but I find, happy’s just a waste of time.
Sadness comes along and smooths things out.

I’ve been thinking ‘bout this man’s dilemma, pondering the moral of his tale.
Do sad and happy cancel out? Do whispers balance when you shout,
Is winning just the opposite of fail?
Or are they all companions in this journey we’re all in together?
Would life be complete if one was gone?
You gotcha good, you gotcha bad, you gotcha happy and your sad.

I Should Be Happy

Lyrics:

Tere hawaale hai yeh zindagi meri 
Tere ujaale se sab raahe hain yahaan 
Apne naseeb ka main baadshah nahi 
Tu meri shaam hai, tu hi meri subah
 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 

Shor aaya aise toh, tu befikar hai kyun 
Sharmaayi manziley, tu bekhabar hai kyun 
Rangon se dosti hai maine bhi kari
Kya hai tu sochti, mujhko bhi toh bata
 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
 
Fikar ke din aur raatein
Dhal gaya suraj kahaan
Fizool ki thi baatein
Kho gaye hai hum jaane kahaan

Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 

Rozaana meri toh hai daastaan nahi 
Purze puraane hai, par showk hain kayi 
Taaro ki roshni ne dikhaaya rasta
Par mein mukar gaya, tu saath jo yahin

Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya 
Tune kaha, maine sun liya

Tune Kaha
