This song is primarily about an overpowering sense of longing. Based on a poem written by Nitin’s mother, this song is about longing for a person, a life, a home land…
It is the chahat one has for various things in life one hasn’t received yet. This composition is very metaphoric and elegant.

Song synopsis:
No way you could hold back time
The world will turn the sun will shine
Its all for you
Give up searching, let it go
The moon will rise the rivers flow
Its all for you
No way you could hold back time
The world will turn the sun will shine
Its all for you
Give up searching, let it go
The moon will rise the rivers flow
Its all for you
Tujhe najron se piya
Teri khushboo main jiya
Sab tere hai, sab tere hai
Teri palkon ko chhua
Aur dhadkan ko suna
Sab tere hai, sab tere hai
No way you could hold back time
The world will turn the sun will shine
Its all for you
Give up searching, let it go
The moon will rise the rivers flow
Its all for you
Tujhe najron se piya
Teri khushboo main jiya
Sab tere hai, sab tere hai
Teri palkon ko chhua
Aur dhadkan ko suna
Sab tere hai, sab tere hai
Pyas badhti gayi
Hosh ghatthi gayi
Chah badti gayi
Mad kafi na hua
No way you could hold back time
The world will turn the sun will shine
Its all for you
Give up searching, let it go
The moon will rise the rivers flow
Its all for you
No way you could hold back time
The world will turn the sun will shine
Its all for you
Give up searching, let it go
The moon will rise the rivers flow
Its all for you
Tujhe najron se piya
Teri khushboo main jiya
Sab tere hai, sab tere hai.
Meaning of the song:
The poet is suggesting a complete surrender to the cycle of time; he cites many examples like that of the never ending wheel of time, flow of rivers, the impartial spread of sunlight and the unfailing rise of the moon at night.
The poet by stating these facts, wants to convey the eternal truth of life-that there is no need to search and long for anything…all that surrounds us, is in us and is for us. We are an integral part of the big beautiful picture and hence are an inseparable part of that cycle of life.
Giving in to desires, will only bring more restlessness and dissatisfaction, hence its best to give up the strife and become one with this flow!
