Lekin pyar bhi sub kuch nahi hota
Look at all the lovers in this world
Whether married or not
Whose longings never reach the end
They pine away all their lives
To erase the distance
To forget the self
Lost in love
Yet it never so happens
After all the conversations
The candle-light dinners
The caring and giving
All the embracing and loving
The self returns back
With its renewed longings
The ephemerality of it all
Is in the end tragic
Where the need to be loved
Retains the self.
Song from “Life in a … Metro”: Dil khudgarj hai
Know Thyself
