Gulzar and his obsession with चांद
चांद का टीका मथे लगा के,
रात दिन तारों में जीना बीना easy नहीं
.
चांद उठा चल toss करें,
चेहरा तेरा और चाल मेरी
.
चांद से होकर सड़क जाती है,
उसी पे आगे जा के अपना मकान होगा
.
.
Chand ka tikka mathe laga ke,
Raat din taaron mein jeena beena easy nahi
.
Chand utha chal toss karein,
Chehra tera aur chaal meri
.
Chand se hokar sadak jati hai,
Usi pe aage ja ke apna makaan hoga

She was the last cowboy, all romance and failure. The world was changing, and her kind didn’t have anywhere to go. Being a beacon of hope for lesser people… is a lonely business.
