What is more of a human thing than falling in love and drowning in the pain that its absence causes? The feeling of pain is one of the most natural human emotions, as John Green quotes, “Pain demands to be felt.” Many lyricists and poets have given us wonderful masterpieces with their songs of bereavement and yearning for the love that you have lost.

Here are some of the most gut-wrenching Bollywood songs that describe the true feelings of loving and losing someone.

1. ‘Chalo Ek Baar Phir Se’

One of Sahir Ludhianvi’s best lyrics, ‘Chalo Ek Baar Phir Se’ has been sung by Mahendra Kapoor. The song talks about two lovers who decide on parting ways and become strangers yet again. It emphasises how it is best to let go of a relationship that has turned bitter instead of dragging it and making it worse.
