The next two lines of the hook are most important and are very beautifully crafted. It states, sometimes when we are lonely, memories make us feel accompanied like in a party, and, sometimes make us feel opposite of that, meaning, sometimes in a party, we start feeling lonely due to memories, of someone we miss in the party, seeping in our mind unwillingly. 4. टूटे सपनो के खंडरों में फिरती हैं यादें, अक्सर हमें बेवक़्त घेर लेती हैं यादें, TuuTe sapno ke khanDaro.n me.n phirtii hai.n yaade.n, aksar hame.n bewaqt gher letii hai.n yaade.n, These philosophically oriented lines capture the essential characteristic of memories that they keep revisiting us, especially in the space of our minds that are metaphorically like ruins of our broken unfulfilled dreams, and, that the memories usually have the habit of pestering us at the wrong time. 5. छोड़ कर चले गए लम्हे जो दामन मेरा, क्यूँ उन लम्हों से लिपटती रहती हैं यादें, नादाँ हैं जो सोचती हैं रखेगी समेटे वो, गुज़रे मौसमों को कहाँ ला पाती हैं यादें, chho.D kar chale ga.e lamhe jo daaman meraa, kyu.n un lamho.n se lipaTtii rahtii hai.n yaade.n, naadaa.n hai.n jo sochtii hai.n rakhegii sameTe vo, guzre mausamo.n ko kahaa.n laa paatii hai.n yaade.n, It talks about another philosophical aspect of our memories. We all know that we as humans and our memories have the habit of usually embracing, time and again, those good or bad bygone moments of our lives during a spell of nostalgia. The next two lines states in a metaphoric way that the memories are so naïve in thinking that this way they can cling on to those bygone moments by keeping them in its’ hem but it fails to understand that the moments, metaphorically those beautiful seasons now changed, that are gone can never be brought back because time travels only forward. The song slowly fades away with the repetition of the hook to capture the essence of memories again, leaving the listener deeply thinking about such fundamental truths about memories.
