Oxford Dictionary meaning: Sad
Adjective, so it is... But why am I writing about this??
Last night I was listening to a Ghazal by Jagjit Singh, "Tere khushboo main base khat..."
I am trying so hard, to pen down the emotions but I am failing to do so. The depth of the lyrics made me think all night if such love even exists, in today's world?
The melancholy in the voice of Jagjit Singhji made me stay awake all night and I have put the song on repeat mode on my i-pod. How I wish I could make you listen to the song, but be satisfied with the lyrics for the time being :)

Tere khushboo mei basey qat mai jalata kaise
Pyar mei dubey hue qat mei jalata kaise
Tere haathon ke likhe qat mai jalata kaise
Jinko dunia ki nigahon se chhupaye rakha
Jinko ek umr kaleje se lagaye rakha
Deen jinko, jinhe imaan banaye rakha
Tere khushboo mei basey qat mai jalata kaise...
Jinka har lafz mujhe yaad pani ki tarah
Yaad the mujhko jo paigam-e-zubani ki tarah
Mujhko pyare the jo anmol nishani ki tarah
Tere khushboo mei basey qat mai jalata kaise...
Tune dunia ki nigahon se jo bachkar likhe
Saal-ha-saal mere naam barabar likhe
Kabhi din mei to kabhi raat ko uthkar likhe
Tere khushboo mei basey qat mai jalata kaise
Pyar mei dubey hue qat mei jalata kaise
Tere haathon ke likhe qat mai jalata kaise
Tere qat aaj mai ganga mei baha doon
Tere qat aaj mai ganga mei baha doon
Aag behte hue pani mei laga doon.

After explaining so much importance of the letters the protagonist is on a verge of parting with those letters.
The affection and devotion expressed by the subject of love, is so intense that just listening to this song makes you feel loved.
That moment mentioned in the last two lines is killing emotion.
Thanks for making us remember these lines once again.
with regards
Tushar
