दिल्ली में बीते दिन उमस से भरे थे मगर कल रात से जो सावन बरसा है, वह दिल को सुकून देने वाला है। कल रात देर रात चार बजे तक जागा और फिर सुबह उठके देखा तो बाहर रिम झिम बारिश हो रही थी, अब तो खैर संध्या का वक्त हो चुका है मगर यह दिलकश अभाव को महसूस कर एक गाना याद आया है, गाना है इजाज़त फिल्म का मेरा कुछ सामान तुम्हारे पास पड़ा है, जो कि जावेद अख्तर द्वारा लिखा गया है, संगीत मेरे मनपसंदीदा राहुल देव बर्मन का और स्वर दिए है आशा भोंसले ने। यह गाना मेरे दिल के बेहद करीब है। जब आपके आस पास वर्षा हो रहीं हो तो यह गाना अपने आप ही ज़हन में उतर ही आता है। मैं इस गाने की कुछ पंक्तियां लिखना चाहूंगा।
मेरा कुछ सामान तुम्हारे पास पड़ा है, हो सावन के कुछ भीगे भीगे दिन रखें है, और मेरे एक खत में लिपटी रात पड़ी है, वो रात बुझा दो, मेरा वो सामान लौटा दो
पतझड़ है कुछ, है ना? पतझड़ में कुछ पत्तो की गिरने की आहट कानो में एक बार पहन के लौट आई थी, पतझड़ की वो शाख अभी तक कांप रही थी, वो शाख गिरा दो मेरा वो सामान लौटा दो।
है ना कितनी उम्दा पंक्तियां, अब मेरा सबसे पसंदीदा अंतरा
एक अकेली छत्री में जब आधे आधे भीग रहे थे, आधे सूखे आधे गीले सुखा तो मैं ले आई थी, गीला मन शायद बिस्तर के पास पड़ा हो, वो भिजवा दो मेरा कुछ सामान लौटा दो
एक सौ सोलह चांद की रातें, एक तुम्हारे कंधे का तिल, गीली मेहंदी की खुश्बू, झूठमूठ के शिकवे कुछ, झूठमूठ के वादे भी सब याद करा दो, सब भिजवा दो, मेरा वो सामान लौटा दो, सब भिजवा दो मेरा वो सामान लौटा दो, एक इजाज़त दे दो बस, जब इसको दफनाऊंगी, में भी वही सो जाऊंगी, में भी वही सो जाऊंगी
वाकई में यह गीत किसी जादू से कम नहीं, अपनी ही खयालों की दुनिया में मुझे खो देता है।
This song just hits hard. It's really hard to write a poetic song of a heartbroken lover expressing his agony in front of his ex-lover. These lyrics written by great Lyricist Majrooh Sultanapuri hits very differently.

bahot zor se "mera kuch samaan tumhare paas pada hai, hoo saawan ke kuch bhige bhige din rakhe hain, aur mere ek khat mein lipti raat padi hai, woh raat bujha do mera woh samaan lauta do" se lyrically and musically relate karne ka mann kar raha hai.
