Tere Jane Se to Kuch Badla Nahi!!!

I came across this wonderful verse from Gulzar. It precedes the song Tere Jane Se to Kuch badla nahi from the album Sunset Point.
The lines are so simple but conveys a whole lot of thing...
A failed love story, a broken heart, a never ending wait and......


Dholak Ki thap dur daraj ke Mohallon tak sunai di
jab use khabar mili to woh bhi pahucha
khidkiyo darwazo se jhank jhank kar uski nazar pakadne ki koshish karta raha
mehandi se sazi tak dulahan tak pahuchna mushkil tha
ek saheli dulhan ke liye chai ki pyali lekar aayi
usne to maangi nahi thi
saheli ne aankh jhapak kar kaha,
pilo cup mein paigaam bhi hai
cup ki tah mein usne angoothi rakh kar bheji thi
usne angoothi hothon se pili aur ungali mein pahan li
saheli ke mehandi lagi hatheli par likh ke bhej diya
usi sunset par milna jo pool par mila tha
lekin sandesa pahucha nahi
woh ja chuka tha
pal bhar mein sab badal gaya
aur kuch bhi nahi badla
jo badla tha woh to guzar gaya......
