Afternoon Music



Buckethead's "Sketches of Spain (For Miles)"

In a strange funky mood after waking up at noon, I have been careening between ghazals, carnatic ragas, old old A.R Rahman songs, didgeridoos, and Miles Davis gold standards, when via YouTube's hyperlink-ism, I found Buckethead, a surrealistic guitarist who makes beautiful music. And if you want to see the man play, watch "Padmasana".

Ghazal



In your absence, no pain. And wine? None. And an answer to my longing, again none.

Once in a while, do pay attention to it for Other than your heart, a better book? None.

Death, why did you come again today? For on her secret face, a veil today? None!

They keep counting their good deeds on their hands, Those whose account of oppression there’s none

Translated, approximately, from the Hindustani of Jagjit Singh's "Tum NahiN, Gham NahiN"
