~So this is still a new concept to me, and I will be updating this as the chapters go on (also as to not reveal too much right now hehe) ~
1. Koi Fariyaad, originally by Jagjit Singh though my favorite rendition to listen to as I worked on the story was this one by Mustahsan Khan.
Speaks to the longing & yearning that is the core of both these characters and their relationship. It's thus the namesake of this book as well.
Favorite Lines:
Jaagte jaagte, ek umhr...
kati ho jaise.*
Raha chalte hue aksar, yeh gumaan hota hai.
Woh nazar chupke, mujhe dekh rahi ho jaise.*
Is tarha pehron tujhe sochta rahta hoon main,
Meri har saas tere naam likhi ho jaise.2. O' Meri Laila, Atif Aslam & Jonita Gandhi - (but also basically the entire Laila Majnu album)
3. Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Prateek Kuhad & Jasleen Royal
4 & 5. Aahatein + Kahin Toh Hogi, I love the versions in this mixtape by Shekhar Ravjiani & Neeti Mohan
5. Aadat, Asif Aslam / Jal the Band
6. Ghalat Fehmi, Azim Azhar & Zenab Fatimah Sultan. Not the title itself but the song + the lyrics speak so much to who the characters are (or rather have become), I love it.
