Let’s face it, seeing your ex with someone else is possibly one of the worst feelings in the world. Worse, still? The ‘meri shaadi ho rahi’ call. Whether y’all break up because of the shaadi or whether you’ve already broken up, it doesn’t hurt any less. And besides, with shaadi season right around the corner, things are only going to get worse…so here’s a couple of songs you can listen to, to help you get through these trying, trying times.
1. Idher Zindagi Ka Janaza Uthe Ga – Attaullah Esakhelvi
Aa’ye ban than ke shehr-e-khamoshaan mein woh
Qabr dekhimeri tau kehne lugey
Arre aaj itni tau is ki taraqqi hui
Aik be-ghar ne acha sa gher le liya…
2. Hai Kahan Ka Irada – Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Party
Ab bhi aa jao kuch ni bigra
Ab bhi hum intezar kerte hain
Saaz-e-hasti baja raha ho mai
Chashm-e-masti mana raha ho mein…
3. Ulfat Ki Nayi Manzil Ko Challa – Iqbal Bano
Hum bhi haen wohi tum bhi ho wohi, ye apni apni qismat hy
Tum khayl rahay ho khushion se, hum doob gaye hein aahon mein…
4. Yes Love – Dr aur Billa
Lele heere motiyoun ka haar, ab kya karun?
Dil ke haathoun khaayi meine maar, ab kya karun?
5. Woh Humsafar Tha – Quratulain Baloch
Bicharte waqt un ankhon mein thi hamari ghazal
Bicharte waqt un ankhon mein thi hamari ghazal
Ghazal bhi wo jo kisi ko kabhi sunai na thi…
6. Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aaye – Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Tujhe har khushi de di
Labon ki hansi de di
Zulfon ki ghata lehraayee
Paigaam wafa ke laayee
Tune acchhi preet nibhayee
Kisi se ab kya kehna
Tujhe yaad na meri aayee
Kisi se ab kya kehna…
7. Kaash Hum Juda Na Hote – Faakhir
Kaash hum juda na hotey
Kabhi alvida na kehte…
8. Ae Dil Kisi Ki Yaad Mein – Saleem Raza
Ae dil kisi ki yaad mein
Hota hai beqarar kiun
Jis ne bhula diya tumhein
Uss ka hai intezaar kiun?
9. Mujhey Tum Nazar Se Gira Tau Rahay Ho – Mehdi Hassan
Meri yaad ho gi jidhar jao gay tum
Kabhi naghma ban ke, kabhi ban ke aansoo
Tarapta mujhe har taraf pa’oge tum…
10. Jub Koi Pyaar Se Bulaye Ga – Mehdi Hassan
Lazzatain gham se aashna ho ker
Apne mehbooob se juda hoker
Dil kahin jab sakun na paye ga
Tumko ek shakhs yaad aayega…
11. Sochta Houn Ke Woh Kitne Maasoom Thhe – Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Party
Jane wale humaari mehfil say
Chaand taaroun ko sath leta ja
Hum khizaan se nibah ker len ga
Tu bahaaroun ko sath leta ja…
12. Ranjish Hi Sahi – Mehdi Hassan
Kis kis ko bataaenge
Judaayi ka sabab hum
Kis kis ko bataaenge
Judaayi ka sabab hum…
13. And finally, when you gather your guts and finally decide to move on…Someone Like You – Adele
Never mind I’ll find someone like you…(or I’ll try)
