what is a zahir?
i guess you wouldn't so easily find the answer in a dictionary but if to stop you from clicking on that search button and reading on instead, i might as well tell you what it is. it is an object with the power to create an obsession.
and what is the zahir song? i crown bon jovi's "In these arms" as the ultimate zahir song. the lyrics are perfectly cantabile, moulded into one smooth flow and totally maxes out into a forte of passion, fiery emotions in the chorus. it just makes you want to scream out those words along with jon (bon jovi).
is the zahir good or bad? i don't want to launch into an essay of pros and cons but i guess it would be great to have passion for something. Meanwhile, it would be definitely be a different thing if you throw your life crazily away for such an obsession.
well anyway, i wouldn't want to end the story without having finally admit that, despite all my hip, cool and up-to-date song favorites, I am a huge fan of bon jovi. i know that you are too and don't deny the fact that you memorize at least one, complete chorus among his songs. "Shot through the heart and you're to blame. You give love a bad name." i could just imagine you trying to sing along to those lines, right? this song rocked the house when Blake Lewis sang to its beatbox version on American Idol's bon jovi night.

where did this realization come from? after i read paulo coelho's "the zahir".
"you want commitment. take a look into these eyes. they burn with fire. until the end of time." -bon jovi, from "In these arms"
