The Poetry of Hindi Songs: II

This beautiful song from the movie Ijaazat:

Chhoti si Kahani Se

Chhotii Sii Kahaanii Se, Baarisho.N Ke Paanii Se
Saarii Vaadii Bhar Gayii
Na Jaane Kyo.N, Dil Bhar Gayaa
Na Jaane Kyo.N Aa.Nkh Bhar Gayii

Rukatii Hai Chalatii Hai
Kabhii Barasatii Hai
Baadal Pe Paa.Nv Rakh Ke
Baarish Machalatii Hai Aa~ Aa~
La Laa~ Chhotii Sii Kahaanii Se ...

Shaako.N Pe Patte The
Patto.N Me.N Buu.Nde Thii.N
Buu.Ndo.N Me.N Paanii Thaa
Paanii Me.N Aa.Nsuu Thaa Aa~ Aa~
La Laa~ Chhotii Sii Kahaanii Se ...

Pahale Mile Bhii The
Dil Me.N Gile Bhii The
Mil Ke Paraaye The
Do Ham_Saaye The Aa~ Aa~
La Laa~ Chhotii Sii Kahaanii Se ...

With an insignificant story...

With an insignificant story, the water of the rains,
the whole valley brims over,
Don't know why, the heart o'erfills
Don't know why, the eyes brim over.

It stops and it goes
Sometimes it rains.
Stepping on the clouds
the rains make merry...
...with an insignificant story...

Leaves on the branches
drops on the leaves...
drops of water
water that had tears
...with an insignificant story...

We had met earlier,
had reproaches in our hearts,
strangers despite our meeting
kindred souls, yet separate...
..with an insignificant story...
