Urdu-Hindustani semi-classical heartbreak ballad

INTRO — Real Heartbeat

Dhadak... Dhadak...
Dhadak... Dhadak...

Heartbeat slowly fades

Male — deep, almost spoken

Kuch kahaniyan shuru hone se pehle hi,
apna anjaam likhwa ke aati hain...
Aur kuch mohabbatein insaan se nahi,
uski rooh se jurri hoti hain.

Tu meri zindagi mein aaya tha,
jaise sardi ki raat mein diya jal jaaye...
Phir ek din diya wahi tha,
bas roshni mein tu nahi tha.

Female distant alaap

Raaaaaaa...
Aaaaaaaa...

VERSE 1

Yaad hai woh pehli mulaqat,
jab aankhon ne baat ki thi,
Lafz toh kam the dono ke,
par dil ne sau baat ki thi.

Teri hansi ka woh andaaz,
ab bhi kaanon mein rehta hai,
Waqt guzarta jaata hai,
par woh lamha wahi rehta hai.

Tere saath chalti sadkon par,
shaam suhani lagti thi,
Teri ek chhoti si khushi,
meri badi kahani lagti thi.

Raat guzarti rehti thi,
aur aankhein kam hi soti thin.

Male alaap

Aaaaa...
Raaaa...
Woh din...
Kahan gaye...

VERSE 2

Phir dheere dheere waqt ne,
rang badalne shuru kiye,
Jo vaade kal tak zinda the,
aaj woh marne shuru hue.

Tere lafzon mein faasle,
meri baaton mein darr tha,
Tu saamne toh hota tha,
par beech mein kuch aur tha.

Main poochta raha tujhse,
“Sab theek hai na?”
Tu muskura ke kehti thi,
“Haan... sab theek hai.”

Kaash us waqt samajh jaata,
woh “haan” kitni door thi,
Tu mere saamne baithi thi,
magar jaane ko majboor thi.

Ek din phone khamosh hua,
phir khat bhi kam ho gaye,
Hum dono zinda the lekin,
rishton ke mausam mar gaye.

Maine tera naam nahi badla,
bas pukarna chhod diya,
Dil ne tujhe khona seekha,
par tujhe chahna nahi chhoda.

CHORUS

Aakhri ishq tera,
Dil pe likha naam tera,
Tu gaya toh kya gaya,
Saath gaya armaan mera.

Aakhri ishq tera,
Dard bhi tu, dawa bhi tu,
Door hua toh door sahi,
Meri rooh mein basa bhi tu.

Female distant

Raaaaaaa...
Aaaaaaaa...

VERSE 3 — Emotional Peak

Ab mere kamre ki deewarein,
sab tera raaz jaanti hain,
Meri chup rehne ki aadat,
meri awaaz jaanti hain.

Woh kursi jahan tu baithi thi,
ab bhi khaali rehti hai,
Us par padti shaam ki roshni,
mujhse tera zikr kehti hai.

Ek purani si diary mein,
tera aadha naam mila,
Panna palta toh aankhon ko,
poora ek jahaan mila.

Kuch lafz tere the usmein,
kuch aansu mere the,
Kuch khwab humare the,
jo kabhi poore na the.

Maine diary band kar di,
par kahani band na hui,
Tujhse doori badhti gayi,
par dil ki doori kam na hui.

Male alaap

Raaaa...
Aaaaa...
Dil mera...
Kyun tera...

VERSE 4

Teri shaadi ki khabar aaye,
toh kya main toot jaaunga?
Ya chupke se kisi kone mein,
tere liye dua karunga?

Pata nahi...
Mohabbat ajeeb cheez hai,
jise paana zaroori nahi,
Kabhi kisi ko khone ke baad bhi,
uski khushi zaroori hai.

Agar tere haath mein,
kisi aur ka haath ho,
toh meri yaad ko mat lana,
bas apna aaj sambhalna.

Meri taraf se koi baddua,
kabhi tere raste na aaye,
Jis dil ne tujhe chaha tha,
woh dil tujhe khush hi paaye.
