This is the soul of the album. The male version by Anup Ghoshal is a philosophical reflection on life's complexities, while the female version by Lata Mangeshkar is deeply poignant, often interspersed with dialogues that highlight the characters' grief and helplessness. Gulzar won a Filmfare Award for these lyrics, which use simple words to describe profound human emotions.
