1 / 2: puraane
chaahat ki is had par, yaarab,
hum to deewaane lagte hain
why do new acquaintances
seem like old friends to us
affection to this extent, oh god,
makes us look a little mad

jab kisi shahr mein
kuchh yaar puraane se mile
received a new wound
and found a new life
when in the new city
found some old friends
