5 Bollywood Songs That Define The Feeling Of Love And Loss

What is more of a human thing than falling in love and drowning in the pain that its absence causes? The feeling of pain is one of the most natural human emotions, as John Green quotes, “Pain demands to be felt.” Many lyricists and poets have given us wonderful masterpieces with their songs of bereavement and yearning for the love that you have lost. 

Here are some of the most gut-wrenching Bollywood songs that describe the true feelings of loving and losing someone. 

1. ‘Chalo Ek Baar Phir Se’

One of Sahir Ludhianvi’s best lyrics, ‘Chalo Ek Baar Phir Se’ has been sung by Mahendra Kapoor. The song talks about two lovers who decide on parting ways and become strangers yet again. It emphasises how it is best to let go of a relationship that has turned bitter instead of dragging it and making it worse.

2. ‘Phir Le Aaya Dil’

If you are looking for a song that talks about a replenished hope of winning someone back, then  ‘Phir Le Aaya Dil’ is the song for you. This song by Arijit Singh (Underrated Songs Of Arijit Singh), Rekha Bharadwaj and Shafqat Amanat Ali is a tale of regrets mixed with hope after you have lost the one you loved.

When Hemant Kumar’s melancholic voice amalgamated with Sahir Ludhianvi’s painful lyrics, we got ‘Jaane Woh Kaise Log The’. This song was released in the black-and-white era, yet its relevance is as fresh as a dew. This song describes the pain of someone whose love remained inadequate. The singer sings through his pain wondering, “What kind of people were those who found love in this world.”

Voiced by Mohit Chauhan, this song talks about the distances that appear between two people who love each other. This song will fill you with emotions and leave you numb, all at the same time.

5. ‘Kitni Baatein’

Separating from someone brings a lot of unsaid words into your mouth that are accompanied by a rush of beautiful memories. In the voices of Hariharan and Sadhna Sargam, ‘Kitni Baatein’ is Javed Akhtar’s (Best Poems Of Javed Akhtar) way of making you feel your heart’s desire to stop them from leaving. The song journeys through the precious memories you have made and how it will be impossible to forget them.
