I have always felt that sadness is one feeling that I and many people find hard to express. Crying doesn’t come easy and framing sentences to depict the pain/hurt/sadness is next to impossible. In such times songs like these have come to my rescue.
Oh and the songs haven’t been ranked. 1-20 are just numbers and not my order of preferance.

2) Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam
Movie: Kaagaz Ke Phool
Singer: Geeta Dutt
Waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam
Tum rahe na tum ham rahe na ham
Waqt ne kiya
Beqaraar dil is tarha mile
jis tarha kabhi ham juda na the
Tum bhi kho gaye, ham bhi kho gaye
Ek raah par chalke do qadam
Waqt ne kiya
Jaayenge kaha sujhta nahi
chal pade magar raasta nahi
Kya talaash hai kuchh pata nahi
Bun rahe hain dil khaab dam-ba-dam
Waqt ne kiya
