#tum bin

[chaandkideewani]

tum chhupao lakh hum se, phir bhi sab kuch hum ne jaana

harr zubaan pe aayega kal, hum dono ka yeh afsaana

[chaandkideewani]

log jo kehne lage hai, unn baaton mein uljha hai dil

[chaandkideewani]

jab se tum aaye nazar mein, khoya khoya rehta hai dil

dhadkano se aaj yeh kya, chupke-chupke kehta hai dil

[chaandkideewani]

sazaa rabb jo dega woh manzoor humko,

ke ab hum tumhari ibaadat karenge

[chaandkideewani]

nazar chahti hai deedar karna,

yeh dil chahta hai tumhe pyaar karna

[chaandkideewani]

mehekne lagega badan yeh tumhara,

hum aankhon se aisi shararat karenge

Tum Bin holds a quiet space in my heart not just as a film, but as something I return to when I need to feel understood. That one dialogue: “Jaanta hoon aapko sahaare ki zarurat nahi hai… main bas saath dene aaya hoon.” It’s not just a line. It’s a wish. I’ve never needed fixing… just someone who’d stay. Sath dene ke liye… sahaare ke liye nahi. And Tum Bin 2 gave me another one “Jise itna tutta kar pyaar kiya ho, use bhulana asaan nahi hota. Bhula paate hain kya hum kabhi… ya jhooth keh dete hain khud se, ki bhula diya?” It says what most of us are too scared to admit out loud. We don’t move on, we just learn to carry it quietly. Both films feel like they were made for the parts of me I never show. And yes… Priyanshu Chatterjee still makes my heart soft. 🥺

This is poetry. This is sublime.
