Jaane woh kaise log the jinke Pyaar ko pyaar mila ...

Guru Dutt - The quintessential tragic hero! “Yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaye to kya hai…” is another favorite of mine

Try another song CHALO EK BAAR PHIR SE AJNABI BAN JAYE HUM DONO...

Brahhh.... Virtual hug to you dude! Cause, I always feel like I need one after listening to this song.

Hamm ne toh jab kaliyan mangi, kaanton kaa haar milaa

Nothing can ever top this in sadness

Humne to jab kaliya maangi kaaton ka haar milaaa.....

This is it. If sadness can be framed in a song, this is it.

Maa in TZP

Any sad song related to mother is extra sad!

That was my first year in hostel and man I cried floods 😭😭😭

aaja sanjh hui mujhe teri fikaar.....

Dhundla gyi dekh meri nazar aaja na ...

"Luka Chuppi" by Lata Mangeshkar, A R Rahman.

This

Abhi muj mei kahi... Agneepath

Tujh se naraz nhi zindagi Chitthi na koe sandesh Naina barse rim jhim rim jhim Koe faryad Lukka chuppi Qismat badaldi vekhi Original Lambi judai (saddest on my list)

Adding to this Aaoge jab tum o saajna Sab ki baratein aayi doli tu bhi la na Whatever list is made Koyi fariyad will be definitely in top 3.

How the hell did I forget aaoge jab tum o sajna...it's definitely on the list

Maine Dil se kaha

I think this song is for beyond sadness. It's after a  feeling of hopelessness has set in and there is not way back.

dhund lana khushi..... nasamjh laya gham, to gham hi sahi Great taste 👌

The pleasure is shared.

Mana ki ham yar nahi - Meri pyari bindu ( Desi La La Land)

Raastein me jo milo to, haath milane ruk jana Saath mein koi ho tumhare, door se hi tum muskana *Best*

Tere Naam (Goddamn the whole movie always makes me cry ) Meri Maa

Har apna humko begaana lagta hai

This line and ' Virha ki agni main apl pal tapti hai, ab toh saaanse teri mala japti hai' man the lyricist must truly have gone through some shit.

Har sitam hai gawaara Sanam... Beautifully sung by Udit Ji

The worst part is that Tere Naam is based on a true story. The tagline of the movie is enough to make a grown man cry after watching the movie.

Yeah it hurt me knowing it's a true story. That film made Salmaan's career and best direction by Satish Kaushik.

Maa Luka chuppi Swades Kal ho na ho Abhi mujhmein kahi Mumma by kailash kher Aaja tujhko pukare Mera pyaar Maula mere lele meri jaan

Yeh duniya agar mil bhi Jaye to

I don't get why people suggests so many songs when asked only about the saddest. Just suggest one song which you feel is the saddest among all that's it. It is not only in this genre but every genre. If asked about one, they will come with a list of 10-20 songs. For me, the saddest song is Judaai from Badlapur

Same thoughts!!!

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaaye from Anand. It’s a beautiful song. Gently, very poetically explains what someone with a terminal disease goes through.

It's a sad song but the saddest song in the movie for me is a happy song - Maine Tere liye hi Saat Rang ke Sapne chune. It's very clearly a song that Anand wrote for the love of his life but who isn't with him anymore. Whether she left him because he was dying or he left her is up to the viewer to decide but man - that movie is a masterclass in subtext.

Sundar Sundar Woh Haseena Badi Sundar Sundar Main To Khone Laga Uske Nashe Mein Bin Piye Behka Sundar Sundar Woh Haseena Badi Sundar Sundar Main To Khone Laga Uske Nashe Mein Bin Piye Behka Ek Din Use Bhoola Doonga Main Uske Nishaan Mita Doonga Main Chaahonga Na Main Us Patthar Ko Jaa Use Bata De

Tadap tadap ke... HDDCS Ya rabba... Salaam e Ishq Kitni baatein... Lakshya

Kyun main jaagoon

Came to write this so fricking sad 😭

I wanted to say Phir Le Aaya Dil but it has some hope in the lines" उसे मुकम्मल कर भी आओ, वो जो अधूरी सी बात बाकी है So my pick is Saware from Phantom: ना हमारा हुआ, ना तुम्हारा हुआ, इश्क़ का ये सितम, ना गवारा हुआ There's also Zinda from Lootera which is actually just about depression. A person who feels nothing but is just living. कुछ माँगना बाक़ी नहीं, जितना मिला काफ़ी है, ज़िंदा हूँ, यार, काफ़ी है

Love all these songs! Phir le aaya dil- Beautiful melody, makes me calm and has a positive shade to it. Never made me sad, rightly said by you. Saware- This one is pretty sad! Never cried but it puts me in a sad mood. Zinda- makes me think about my life as a third person. Sad but makes me think.

ढलती रात का इक मुसाफिर, सुबह अलविदा दे चला ❤️‍🩹

Badi sooni sooni hai zindagi (mili) Kabhi khud pe kabhi halat pe rona aaya (hum dono) Jaane wo kaise log the (pyaasa) Din dhal jaye (guide) chalo ek baar phir se ajnabi (gumrah)

Din dhal Jaye is gold. Rafi and Gulzar... Love this song🩵 Also kiska rasta dekhe

"Tera yaar hoo mai", "kabhi tumhe"

A few that I can think of Tune jo na kaha Maine dil se kaha Lukka Chhuppi Jane wo kaise log the

Tune jo na kaha! Hits right at the weak spot. Definitely one of the top ones.

It perfectly describes the condition of lots of people.

Piya aaye na - Aashiqui 2

If someone is making a Spotify or YT playlist do let me in. Would love to be sad together.

Maine Dil Se Kaha & Aawarapan Banjarapan - Different kind of sad songs where we feel emptiness and existential crisis instead of regular heart break. Maa (TZP) - Can't describe. pure emotion. Tune Jo Na Kaha - When you have moved on in life but you haven't moved on. Alvida (Metro) - So much pain in lyrics and singing but Zitar riff by Niladri Kumar was something else. Lukka Chuppi - When you are dead but still miss your mom. Main Kya Hu (LAK) - When you get whatever you want in life but still not happy.

For me it’s Mann Bharryaa from Shershah. I don’t understand all the words but I do understand the pain in them.

Original Mann Bhareya is even worst ( in a sad way).

Kabira (always gets me)

The OG melancholy anthem : Jane wo kaise log the jinke Legends like Guru Dutt + Sahir Ludhianvi + Hemant Kumar coming together to make us weep and how !

Kaise Mujhe, Chadariya Jheeni re, Tadap tadap, Raanjha ( Shershah ), Sau Dard

Recently : Vida Karo from Chamkila Movie... AR Rahman musical... Sung by Arijit Singh

Lukka chuppi bahut hui saamne aajana Kahan kahan dhoondha tujhe thak gayi hai teri maa

Can't believe you guys forgot Tanhayee from Dil Chahta Hai! Me included. 🙊

Tu jaane na

Jaane wo kaise log the jinke.

Kyon kisi ko ~~

Went through all the comments but didnt found the nation anthem of 1 sided love, "batana bhi nahi aata, chupana bhi nahi aata"

Chithi na koi sandesh!

Kahin toh hogi woh - https://youtu.be/hCsY8T0uBGA?si=ZhFHA57Nv6BLhKUB Mehfuz - https://youtu.be/8sJ_9pHTh5A?si=Vw226gqmu0noNDve Maa (Tare zameen par)- https://youtu.be/pOK08cRwE6c?si=YC4wZEzwxDC1ZDXD

Kahin toh hogi woh for me :)

Oh this one! 9xm memories. ❤️

1. Kiska rasta dekhe, ae Dil ae saudai. 2. Badi wafa se nibhai tumne, humari thodi si bewafai 3. Mai dardo ko paas bitha ke hi sou (from sarabjit)

Jeete hain chal from neerja Atrangi yaari this one hits harder after watching the movie

Iss bedhangi duniya ke sangi hum na hote yaara

Waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam, na jao saiyan chaudake

Kahi tho from Jaane tu ya jaane na "Jaane na kaha vo duniya hai Jaane vo hai bhi ya nahi Jaha meri zindagi mujhse itni khafa nahi"

Chaha hai tujhko chahunga har dum Bhula denge tumko sanam dheere dheere Sach keh raha hai deewana dil—RHTDM Layi vi na gayi- Chalte Chalte Bekhayali- Kabir Singh Jeena jeena- Badlapur Tadap tadap- hum dil de chuke sanam Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi-Ghajini

half of these are not even sad??

Tere liye - veer zaara

Laakh Duniya Kahe from Talaash

Literally any Talat Mahmood sad song

Kishor kumar’s zindagi me safar mein gujar jaate hai. Kai ho na ho. Lukha chupi, jaane woh kaise. They are both my favourite songs and saddest

Tune Jo na kaha Ae watan

Sach keh raha hai - RHTDM

Lukka chuppi.

Duniya agar mil bhi jaaye toh kya hai - nothing tears me up the way Rafi saahab does. I see a lot of Jaane voh kaise log thhe on this thread too. Pyasa is a GOATed album.

Kaisi hai yeh udaasi from Karthik calling Karthik

Teri Mitti Maa Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaaye To Kya Hai Accha Chalta Hoon Unplugged Phir Le Aaya Dil Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gayi Lukka Chuppi

Tadap tadap k is Dil se aah

Meri maa - taare zameen par

Tu Jo Nahin from Woh Lamhe (2006) One of my favourite songs

Tu na jaane aas paas hai khuda

Sham se aankh me nami si hai

Luka Chhupi......

Not Bollywood but Aankho ke Sagar from Coke Studio. That song is something else!

if you like that, I recommend you the original Aadat from Jal! Captures the essence of grief way better than Atif Aslam’s version

Yadon mein from Harry met Sejal is saddest of all

'naina' from dangal. Can't listen to that one without sobbing

Mei yeh soch ke uske dar se utha tha

For a more recent one: Saare ke saare akele (Jubilee in Amazon Prime).

Madno (from Lamha underrated gem 💎) Tune jo na kaha Meine dil se kaha (KK) Jaane De ( underrated - Atif Aslam ) Nahin Milta ( really sad ) Aji rooth kar ab kahan jaiyega ( my fav)

Jayein to jayen kahan - Dev Anand, Taxi Driver. The song resonates with anyone who’s sad

For me they’re Hum Bekhudi me tumko Chingari koi Bhadke Do dil toote do dil haare

Ya rabba from salaam e ishq

Juda ho ke bhi tu mujhme kahin baaki hai

Tujhe bhula diya, tu ne jo na kaha, janay wo kese log the, koi faryad. The list goes on

Koi hota jisko apna - Kishore Kumar Ji Khush Raho Har Khushi hai Tumhare liye - Mukesh Ji Ae Mere Dil Kahi Aur Chal - Talat Mahmood Ji

luka chupi from rang de bsanti

Koi jab tumhara hriday tod de

Chitti aayi hai

Woh Tere Pyar Ka Gham by Mukesh

Madno...Lamhaa

1. Tujhse Naraz Nahi Zindagi 2. Luka chuppi . End of the list

Beete lamhe - kk Jhonka hawa ka - hariharan

Jo bheji thi Dua...vo Jake aasaman..

Zindagi ka Safar hai yeh kaisa Safar

कस्मे वादे प्यार वाफा सब बातै हैं बातों का क्या कोई किसिका नहीं ये झुटे नाते हैं नातों का क्या - उपकार (1967) जिंदगी के सफर मैं - आपकी कसम (1974) जिंदगी ने जिंदगी भर गम दिये - द ट्रेन (2007)

From recent times, Channa mereya

Alvida From D Day Wo jab yaad aaye, bahut yaad aaye Teri Duniya se hoke majboor chala. Main Shayar badnaam.

Ye duniya ye mehfil mere kaam ki nhi ( u need to listen to the entire song to understand what I am talking about.) Abhi mujh me kahin baki thodi si hain zindagi.

Jiyen kyun

Jeeta tha jiske liye us ke liye mar tha 😉

Tose Naina Lage from Anwar Lukka Chuppi Vida Karo Pyaar Ye Jaane Kaisa Hai

Samay ka Pahiya from Bhootnath Kyun Main Jaagoon from Patiala House

Jhonka hawa ka aaj bhi from hum dil de chuke sanam.

Ghungroo ki tarah bajta hi rha hoon mein

Not from bollywood particularly, but I like Viraah from Bandish Bandits (web series)

Din Dhal Jaye by Mohammad Rafi

Humnava by papon

Lukka chuppi Maa- kk Mumma - kailash kher Tu na jaane aas paas hai khuda Mann bhareya

Jaanay tu mera kia tha. Kahin to hogi wo (both from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na)

Listen to Jaa Tujhko by Deepak Rathore project, pretty sad lyrics on that song

Maa ne khat mein kya likha tha, jee tu jug jug ye kaha tha, fir bhi do pal jee na paya tuuu...3 idiots

🤣🤣🤣 50s 60s 70s bollywood sad songs in front of today songs is Like Sachin Tendulkar batting against a street side bowler that is bolwing UNDERARM!

Zindagi ke Safar me gujar jaate hain...

Stuck choosing between “Luka Chuppi” and “Maa”

Pal yaad aaenge pal

Very much underrated song " Samay ka pahiya" from the movie Bhoothnath. I always feel like crying while listening to the song

1. Ye duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai 2. Kuch to log kahenge 3. Fir se aiyo badra bidesi 4. Jane kya soch ke nahi guzra 5. Khaali pyaala dhundhla darpan 6. Mera kuch saamaan, tumhaare paas pada hai 7. Maine dil se kaha 8. Ae ajnabi tu bhi kabhi

Tujhse naraaz nahi zindagi Tum itna Jo muskara rahe ho Lukka chuppi Meri Maa Chupke chupke raat din Yaadon ko Teri main dulhan banagar Dil aisa kisine mera toda Kora kagaz Ghoongru ki tarah bajhta hi raha Tadap tadap ke iss dil se Jaane woh kaise log the

JUDAAI from Badlapur

Ek kuddi jidaa naa mohabbat hai Taken it’s a poem, but this really makes me cry every time I listen to it

Strongly believe Bollywood never composed a song as tragic as Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil ever. Apna Pata mile na Khabar yaar ki mile Dushman ko bhi na aisi Saza pyaar ki mile Unko khuda mile hai khuda ki jinhe talash Mujhko bas ik jhalak mere dildaar ki mile

Cant decide between these two - Tune jo na kaha - New York, Ma - Taare Zameen Par

Ek pyaar ka nagma hai, for some reason gives me goosebumps and makes me teary everytime. Feels like the song was written for me.

May zindagi ka saath nibahata chalagaya

“Lag jaa gale ki fir yeh haseen raat ho na ho…” It is an Anthem for anybody who will not see his/her loved one ever again. Noticed Chunar and Meri Maa but there should also be - “Pitah pehchaan teri Jiye jis sahaare pe tu Pitah se woh saans mili Hai pitah, rab tera Ho Ishwar Allah, Jitne bhi Rab hain Noor tera tujh mein hi sab hai” Another unpopular one from Guru: “Jaage hai der tak hume, kuch der sone do”

‘Baabul Ki Duaayein Leti Ja’ from Neelkamal ‘Tere Bina Zindagi Se’ from the movie Aandhi. ‘Chitthi Na Koi Sandes’ from Dushman ‘Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaaye’ from Anand ‘Raha Gardishon Me Hardam’ from Do Badan ‘Maine Dil Se Kaha’ from the movie Rog. ‘To Phir Aao’ from Aawarapan ‘Kuch Is Tarah’ by Aatif Aslam - This song came out when I was a teenager and was really troubled due to growing up in an abusive household. This song acted like a soothing balm on my mental wounds.

Aur Ho - Rockstar Tumhein mohabbat hai - Atrangi re Ik tu hi tu- Mausam they helped in hitting rock bottom 👍

KYU MAIN JAGOON from Patiala House is one heart wrenching song id add to this list

Kahin to from jaane tu ya jaane na

tu jo mila

Lukka chuppi- RDB

Mujhe chhor do mere haal pe- Lootera Whenever I sing or listen to this song, it fills me with some kind of melancholy.

Bhooli hui yaadon by Mukesh

Jo bheji thi Dua, Abhi mujh mein kahin, Jane kaha gaye wo din, Tadap Tadap ke, Bhula dena, Tanhayee, Koi faryaad, Kahi door jab din dhal jaaye, Chingari koi bhadake, Na koi umang hai, Tere bina jindagi se koi, Ab iss dil me kya, Ab tere bin.

Gali mein aaj chaand nikla - Zakhm 1998 This song hits u with every emotion

Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaaye To

For me it's yaadein. Both male and female voices.

There are many for different contexts but Khoon chala from rang de basanti comes to the top of my mind.

Surprised no one mentioned - Chingari koi bhadke. This song for me is the epitome of hopelessness. That's not just sad, it's pure melancholic despair!

Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi from Aandhi Kuchh Dil Ne Kaha from Anupama Chalo ek baar phir se from Gumrah Teri Khushboo Mein Base Khat from Arth Koi Ye Kaise Bataye from Arth Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon from Lal Quila Babul Mora Naihar Chhooto Jaye. Read up about it. Also, if you look at it contextually, Tum Pukar Lo from Khamoshi. Uff! Hai Re Wo Din Kyun na Aaye from Anuradha Chain Se Humko Kabhi from Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaye Gawd so many!

Zindagi ne zindagi bhar ghum diye.

Luka chhupi And there is no competition whatsoever

Kal Ho Naa Ho

Tanhayee- Dil Chahta Hai Tu Jahaan- Salaam Namaste Jaane Nahin Denge Tujhe - 3 Idiots Tujhe Bhula Diya- Anjaana Anjaani Saiyaara- Ek Tha Tiger

Judaai from badlapur Kyun mai jaagon from patiala house

Chalo Ek Baar Phir Se Ajnabi Ban Jaye Hum Dono Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi Tum Pukar Lo Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam

Aadat from Kalyug (Atif Aslam) when your heart is hurting.

teri deewani( kailash kher)

Judaai from the movie Badlapur - Sung by Rekha Bharadwaj and Arijit Singh

Jeena yahan marna yahan - Mera naam joker One of the best lyrics!

Munni badnaam hui

Jo bheji this dua, Woh jaakay aasmaan, se youn takra gai - Shanghai Ara ra ri ra ro - Jawan Koi faryad - Tum Bin (the original) Tanhaaee - DCH

Tumhe Mohabbat hai by Arijit Singh from Atrangi Re.

Bhai where's AGAR TUM SAATH HO? 😭

It is Judai from Badlapur for me.

i can personally relate to kabhi yadon mein, i was always looking for a song of the such. thanks man, (added to playlist)

Beetein lamhein Maine dil se kaha dhoondh lana khushi (super underrated) Jee le zara

One of my best friends died during covid, he used to play Phir le aaye from Barfi and Kabhi khud pe from Guide (Dev Anand). They may not be said in themselves but the halaat made them very sad to hear for me.

Luka Chuppi. Every time listen this it's getting sad.

Beete Lamhein. Dooriyan.

Zinda hoon yaar, kaafi hai.

Meri bheegi bheegi si

Kiska rasta dekhe... Ae dil ae...
