Husna by Hitesh Sonik feat Piyush Mishra

Hitesh had heard Piyush Mishra sing this song 15 years back and it has been stuck with him ever since. Written and composed by Piyush, this song is a letter from Javed who was separated from his lover Husna during the partition. In spite of having left everything behind and eventually moving on, there is a looming sense of helplessness and grief in the song. Musically Hitesh has tried to recreate that era through interesting acoustic guitar arrangements blended with Indian percussions. Keeping up the upheaval experienced by the lovers, Hitesh also ends the song on a tumultuous high.
