A story of love - STRADA PLACIDO

Salaamaleykum,

While I was in Burma, I opened a song for my grandma.

Ek Pyaar ka Nagma hain (Its a love's story).
Maujoon ki ravaani hain (its a flow of ecstasy),
Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahin (Its life and nothing else),
Tere mere kahani hain (A story of you and me)....
Listen

The song has been sentimental in my family for generations. It started with my great grandfather started singing this song as a lulaby for his grandchildren.

When I first listened to this song, i assumed that the song was talking about 'their' love being immortalised in a story like that of Romeo and Juliet.
However, my grandmother had a different interpretation. For her, the song translates to something like - love's just a story like any other. Eventually, like any other story, it will end, and the book will be closed.

Of course, my grandmother's interpretation was miserable and less idealistic. However, I can't help, but to accept her view as better then mine.

My interpretation was like that of any other youth, with such high idealistic views when it come to the issue of love. But, as you grow older, you start to see the other side of love, and realise that love is not as mystical as we assume it is.
Most will agree with me when I say, love does not last. The spark and affection does dies out over certain amount of time,except perhaps in few exceptional cases.

I guess, the song is right, love is just a story , which will eventually be closed at the end of the day.

Allah Madad!

P.S.: Please do bear in mind that there are more to love than that of between two lovers.
