I don’t know if this happens to you, but sometimes I get obsessed with a song and then I listen to it over and over and over, on a loop.
The past few days it has been a song by Pakistani singer, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (you can find it here). It’s a song about eternal love and longing and waiting. There’s some poetic complaining about heart break. It’s beautiful, even if you don’t know what the lyrics mean.
So of course, I had to draw something pointless about it, with what are probably wildly incorrect Hindi spellings of Punjabi words. I am not sad right now, but I figured someone somewhere is sure to be.

Thanks to your post, this has become my fav. song…..it’s poetry. Not sad at all, just beautiful just like your sketch.
It took a while (despo-level google searches) to figure out the meaning so that I could sing along…..bathroom singing at best, but, that’s the charm. 🙂
On a lighter note, this poet could be a marketing genius. Imagine this talent of describing heartbreak in such endearing ways lent to selling cosmetics, a toothbrush or laundry detergent! 😉
if it’s not the lyrics or the music, then it’s your painting that says it all 🙂
That’s such a wonderful thing to hear! Thank you so much, it made my day 🙂
A beautifully colorful image!

Beautiful drawing, as always. And the music, I’ve fallen in love with it. Am buying the Sufi album, and the song that inspired your drawing. Thank you for this gift.
His voice is magic, isn’t it?
