That is my kind of love, I guess!

There would be hundreds of songs that you love. There are hundreds of songs that I love. Albeit all those are loved for different reasons. Many of those are old classics and hence, melodiously lovable. Many remind of some special phase of life or some event or some special day. Many are loved for the special person's memories or associations. I have all those categories of loved songs. All those songs get played or hummed when that particular reason to love that song reappears in life, in thoughts, in memories.

However, there is one special category, which is special because they are the love songs of emptiness, of loss, of loneliness. That is my kind of love, I guess! These are lovable love songs because there is no hope, no craving, no longing.... just some emotions, some faded memories, and an acceptance of loss. That is my kind of love, I guess!

These are the love songs that can be heard when there is no thought in the mind. These are the love songs that can be heard when all the thoughts rush back to your mind. Just listing some such songs here, in no particular order (with youtube links) and maybe, with a few favorite lines from the song too. Also, these are somewhat recent songs and I have not taken the old classics here on purpose.

Jhonka Hawa ka - Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (link)

इक इक मेरी बातें तुमको, याद तो आती होगी ना
क्या तुम मेरे इन सब सवालों का कुछ तो जवाब दोगी ना ...

Jab Nahin Aaye The Tum - Dev (link)

जब नहीं आये थे तुम तब भी मेरे साथ थे तुम ...


Maana ke Hum Yaar Nahin - Meri Pyari Bindu (link)

नज़रों से ना करना तुम बयाँ वो जिससे इनकार नहीं ...

फूल जो बंद है पन्नो में तुम उनको धूल बना देना
बात छिड़े जो मेरी कहीं तुम उसको भूल बता देना
लेकिन वो भूल हो ऐसी जिससे बेज़ार नहीं ...


Zehnaseeb - Hasee to Phasee (link)

तेरे संग जो न बीते उसपे ऐतराज़ है
इस क़दर हम दोनों का मिलना
एक राज़ है

लेना-देना नहीं दुनिया से मेरा बस तुझ से काम है

होना लिखा था यूँ ही जो हुआ
या होते होते अभी
अनजाने में हो गया
जो भी हुआ, हुआ अजीब

तुझे चाहूं बेतहाशा जहनसीब


Darya - Manmarziyan (link)

तैनूं खुदा मन्या ते तैनूं रब मन्या
कोई नहीं भुलदा यारा जीवैं तू है भुल्या ...


Samjhawaan - Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya (link)

तू की जाने प्यार मेरा मैं करूं इंतज़ार तेरा
तू दिल तुईयों जान मेरी

वे चंगा नइओं कीता बीबा
दिल मेरा तोड़ के
वे बड़ा पछताय्याँ अख्खां
नाल तेरे जोड़ के

Well, there are a few more songs but for now, let it be... I want to save some to sing to you when we meet... if ever we meet.
