आज जाने की ज़िद न करो

A powerful, and deep, sentiment is expressed in this song. It appears that the female lover is pleading that the lover must not leave ... but, the pleading can be between any two human beings, particularly if the intensity of the sentiment is very strong and deep: ... हाय मर जाएंगे, हम तो लुट जाएंगे ... (I'll die if you leave, I'll be devastated ...)

Lyrics are rendered with almost every word getting its full import by the manner in which it is sung.

सनम रे

Nice lyrics through which the male lover describes his love. Arijit Singh's voice seems to add a special touch; equally pleasant is the tabla accompaniment.

ಕರುಣಾಕರ ನೀ

This is another composition by ಪುರಂದರದಾಸ that starts off with cynicism [about God], but ends up accepting God with surrender. (The other cynical composition is ಸತ್ಯವಂತರಿಗೆ ಇದು ಕಾಲವಲ್ಲ).
