Singer-Songwriter Darshan Raval who was the 1st runner up in India’s Raw Star has been capturing our hearts with not just his voice but his lyrics too.
After stepping a few stones, Raval had set a brave foot into Bollywood and gave us tracks that we never knew could touch our broken hearts. Here are the five times that our hearts fluttered at the sound of his voice.
1. Ek Tarfa
Ek Tarfa is Darshan’s latest track released on the 15th of July this month and has already gained over 44 million views. Talking about his ‘Monsoon Song’, Raval reveals that he is glad about the positive response. In a report by Telangana Today, Darshan says, “I am glad that ‘Ek tarfa’ has generated such a positive response. It’s become a tradition of sorts to release a song during the monsoon season and so far it’s been extremely fruitful.”
Mohabbat ho gayi thi dono ko
Ek arsa ho gaya
Mera yeh ishq tha do tarfa
Ab ek tarfa ho gaya
One can feel dead not by dying but by experiencing fatal unrequited love. The song is a tribute to the feeling of lost love and that ‘true love is never about posession’.
2. Asal Mein
Itna bhi kya bewafa koi hota hai
Yeh soch kar raat bhar dil ye rota hai
Asal mein, tum nahi ho mere
Tum nahi ho mere
Heartbreak comes in waves and each one gets stronger. This Darshan Raval song peronifies sided love. ‘I am yours but you were never mine’, a feeling of loss without really losing.
3. Hawa Banke
Main zameen tu aasmaan
Main daag hoon tu chand sa
Tu baarish hai main ret hoon
Main dhun koi tu raag sa
This 2019 track describes the beauty of a lover’s muse in a longingness for the muse to become his love. The muse is like a rare diamond and the lover sings about her compatibility with him.
4. Mehrama
Main na ponhchoon kyu wahan pe
Jaana chaahoonn main jahan
Main kahaan kho gaya
Aisa kya ho gaya
Falling in love hard and losing that love can be the toughest aches to recover from. Mehrama, sung for the movie Love Aaj Kal, is not only relatable but also pulls painful strings in our hearts. The world separates the two lovers and the chances of finding their way back to each other are slim but there is still hope of the lovers reuniting.

Jab tu mileya mainu
Mainu hajj mileya
Rajj rajj mileya
Mainu jab mileya hai tu
