A Thousand Desires

These lines are narrated in one of the sound tracks of the film "Hazaaron Khwahishen Aisi". I found them amusing. The lyrics and narration is done by Mr. Pritish Nandy, the CEO of Pritish Nandy Communications. It is the same banner who produced the film.




A thousand desires such as these,
A thousand moments to set this night on fire.
Reach out and you can touch them,
You can touch them with your silences,
You can reach them with your lust.
Rivers, mountains, rain.
Rain against the torrid hill's cape,
A thousand,
A thousand desires such as these.

I loved rain as a child,
As a lost young man,
Empty landscapes bleached by a tired sun.
And then,
And then suddenly it came like
A dark unknown woman.
Her eyes scorched my silences,
Her body wrapped itself around me
Like a summer without end.

Pause me,
Hold me,
Reach me where no man has gone.
Crossing the seven seas,
With the wings of fire,
I fly towards nowhere.
And you,
Rivers, mountains, rain.
Rain against the scorched landscape of pain.

A thousand desires such as these,
A thousand moments to set this night on fire.
Reach out and you can touch them,
You can touch them with your silences,
You can reach them with your lust.
Rivers, mountains, rain.
Rain against the torrid hill's cape,
A thousand,
A thousand desires such as these.
