Thirst


In the previous post I had uploaded the best song of this season Bint-E Dil.
As I had mentioned in my earlier post that this song is not a Sanskrit song...in fact its Urdu heavily spiced with Arabic and Persian with just a sprinkle of Hindi.

BUT...there are a few words in that song that have Sanskrit origins.(lets concentrate on just one word for now)

So click on the song again and hear this line.


Mehkash labhon pe aane lagi hai
pyasi  qurbatein

The word pyAs(प्यास) means Thirst in Hindi and its Sanskrit in origin, from the word pipAsA (पिपासा) meaning Thirst in Sanskrit.

That's why I had mentioned in my previous post..keep an open mind and enjoy other languages too ..did anyone expect to learn Sanskrit from a song so heavily spiced with Arabic and Persian?
