And the heart seeks those days (Dil Dhoondta Hai in translation)

Original song with lyrics by Gulzar and composed by Madan Mohan here.

Hindi lyrics here

The heart seeks again, those nights and days
Sitting for long, with my imaginings at play.

In autumn's afternoons, lolling in the sun so mild
With your saree's shadow over my eyes in a style
Lying on the side, tossing once in a while

In summer night's easterlies
Staying awake in white sheets
Star-gazing in the terrace, stretched on our feet

In snowy winters, on a remote hill
Catching silences echo in the valley still
With eyes drenched in moments fulfilled

The heart seeks again, those nights and days
Sitting for long, with my imaginings at play.
- Gulzar
