Transcript

00:00Dekho abhi kona nahi, abhi juda hona nahi

00:12She's a part of me, so perhaps she can live on through me.

00:30Dekho abhi kona nahi, abhi juda hona nahi

01:00Chaha jise mila nahi, phir bhi hume gila nahi

01:12Ab toh yuhi mil rahenge dono, wada raha yeh iss shaam ka

01:24Jaane tu ya jaane na, maane tu ya maane na

01:46Tera mujhse hai pehle kaanata koi, yuhi nahi dil lubhata koi

02:10This song pretty much echoes the kind of love that mom and I used to share

02:19I tried to call her back with all my heart, all my might

02:28But I guess you are powerless at the hands of destiny

02:36When someone's time arrives, it just arrives

02:39You can do everything in your power to preclude the inevitable

02:50But if it has to happen, it will happen

02:54Like Murphy's law states, I guess we couldn't save her

03:04But I just hope that she knew how much I loved her

03:12And this is for you mom

03:16Actually I don't believe in these things like she's watching over me from above

03:23I don't think there's anything after life ends

03:26I don't believe in the concept of life after death

03:31But then yeah, just something that I realized whenever I would start crying

03:37The frequency of which is still quite high

03:41I'd feel like mom is crying, not me

03:47Like you could feel the outline of your face contorting

03:52And I feel like she's crying

03:54It's just the way she used to cry that I'm crying

03:58So perhaps she can live...

04:00Like she's inside me, she's a part of me

04:03So perhaps she can live on through me

04:08That's the only piece of hope that I can cling on to at the moment

04:12You belong to me first

04:15No one else

04:18No one else can take my heart away

04:24Jaane tu ya jaane na

04:35Maane tu ya maane na
