The Hindi song Tere Bina, composed by A. R. Rahman, is a powerful portrayal of the despair and meaninglessness of life without love, without the person who is the center of one's universe. The lyrics are straight to the point as they convey a heartfelt plea, which translates to "What is life without you? Soulless nights, dry days and tasteless moments, oh beloved. Come, let's live our moments." The song expresses the passion and intensity of the couple’s love, which is so strong that their world is meaningless without each other.
The lyrics communicate the core message of the song concisely, and the music captures the essence of the words with a charged, fast-paced rhythm that is infectious. The song's powerful lyrics, when wedded to the energetic rhythm, make it a song that is equally meaningful as a romantic ballad or as a song that can be enjoyed on its own merits.
