A Song That Owns My Soul


 Music is magic. It speaks to your heart in ways words cannot. Everyone has that one song, their song, the one that feels like it belongs to them, like it was written for them, like it understands them better than anyone else could. For me, that song is "Maula Mere Maula."

I don’t have a typical taste in music. It’s not about the old-school 90s hits or the trendy Gen Z tracks. My playlist is filled with mid-2000s Bollywood songs, those soulful melodies that tug at your heartstrings. Among them, "Maula Mere Maula" holds a special place. Whenever I feel lost or empty, it’s the song I turn to. It fills me with life, with love, with memories I can never let go of.

There’s a story behind this connection. I was 19, experiencing the magic of love for the very first time, the butterflies, the excitement, the unexplainable happiness. "Maula Mere Maula" became the soundtrack of those moments. I used to play it on loop, feeling every word, every note, as if it were narrating my emotions. Since then, the song has become a part of me.

Over the years, life changed. Feelings evolved. The way I looked at love transformed. But every time I listen to this song, it takes me back. It reminds me of that innocent love, that pure joy, and the beauty of those fleeting moments. Even though life has moved on, even though that phase will never return, the song stays. It reminds me of how it felt to love for the first time and how magical that feeling was.

There’s something bittersweet about it. The song doesn’t just bring back memories of love; it also brings tears to my eyes. It makes me reflect on how fast life changes,

how feelings that once felt eternal can slip away, leaving behind only memories. But even in that bittersweetness, there’s comfort. It’s like revisiting an old chapter of my life, knowing it’s over but still cherishing it.

No matter how fed up or drained I feel, this song refreshes my soul. It reminds me of the beauty of love, even if it’s something I might never feel the same way again. Five years have passed since I first fell in love with this song, and yet, every time I hear it, I fall in love with it all over again. It’s not just a song anymore it’s a part of who I am.


Some songs heal, some songs hurt, and some songs stay with you forever. For me, "Maula Mere Maula" is all three.
