गेरुआ

This song portrays love with several metaphors, some of which are highlighted below:
  1. "... wherever we met, time stood still." Time stood still is a sensation many poets have written about; the particular manner Deepak Chopra describes this feeling regarding love comes to mind.
  2. "Forgetting the [rest of the] world, I have met you. This wish has come forth of my heart ... that you give me — i.e., my life — the gerua color ...". Color is how many people describe liveliness, equating colorlessness with lack of life.
  3. "... I am the caravan, you are the destination to which every path leads." Bollywood lyricists equate the state of love to a desirable destination including, of course, the ultimate destination of reaching God.
Nice music, invites repeated listening.

अभी, मुझ में कहीं, बाकी थोड़ी सी है ज़िंदगी

The poet describes three occasions, or three moments, that highlight
  1. The tenacity — लगन — that the human mind capable of 
  2. The compassion — रहम — that can exist in this world
  3. The prick, i.e., pain, — चुभन — that can be experienced when an attraction lights up in an otherwise desolate life
and has the character sing:
Whether I should feel a little happiness, or sadness
Whether I should die or live [a little].
Wonderful music using the violin. Very moving.
