009 Samjhinu Hai

A song about remembering a distant friend—someone who once shared meaningful moments with you—and feeling that tug of longing—the spaces between, the memories that remain, and the recognition that time doesn’t wait for anyone. A song about those quiet moments when you wish you could reconnect, to remind each other of the shared stories and feelings that time hasn't erased. There's a gentle hope woven through it, hoping that despite the distance, those connections still matter, even if it's just in fleeting thoughts. Here’s Samjhinu Hai, a song for those who've felt the pull of lost time and distant friendships.
