Gulzar saab and saans mein teri

One of my ex-colleagues is a huge fan of Gulzar saab. She keeps tweeting abt him always. Since I cannot read Hindi or understand complex Hindi, I never ventured into poetry or Hindi lyrics.
Today, when Saans mein teri from Jab thak hai jaan was repeatedly playing in my ears,
I paused at the lyrics.

Kab tak hosh sambhale koi
Hosh ude toh ud jaane do

Dil kab seedhi raah chala hai
Raah mude toh mud jaane do

Tere khayal me doob ke aksar achhi lagi tanhaai

How true! Someone in love can feel these words as emotions. 
Love surely turns one completely topsy turvy. Gulzar sab - thanks for these lyrics. I for one, understood it and fell in love with the lyrics.
