A prayer about eternal love, life. Makes you feel the passage of time and seasons. Such a carefully constructed piece with minimum yet precise arrangement - that flute! In a largely harmony based album, this one's the winner. -Anup

Tugs at your heartstrings at the very first hearing. Best song on the album. -Anish

The soul of Dil Bechara. Only great composers like Rahman who have faith in the melody they’ve composed would opt for a minimal background orchestration. Hriday and Jonita pour their heart into this stirring composition. The song soars even higher when Hriday croons ‘Main jaaDon ke mahine ki tarah, aur tum ho pashmine ki tarah’. Awesome lyrics by Amitabh. It’s one of the finest songs of the year! -Mihir

Lovely melody. -Aditya

Main Tumhara is yet another AR showcase of stunning vocal harmonies, only that this one is mellower, deeper and somber when compared to Khulke. Navin's flute, the keys and Jonita lift up Hriday's soaring vocals in the Antara and what an unusual Antara it is : That dip in the melody before Hriday and Jonita launch into the Jadon ki Mahine ki tarah line is captivating and is my favorite portion of the song. -Krithikaa

The best song of this album. "मैं जाड़ों के महीने की तरह, और तुम हो पशमीने की तरह, मैं दीवारों की तरह हूँ, तुम जैसे हो दरीचा, मैं बगीचा, जो तुमने सींचा" - Bahut bahut bahut umda! Bravo Ambitabh!! -Akanksha

Anything said about this song is too little. Jonita and Hriday complement each other beautifully, while Rahman's minimal but exquisite arrangements make the song sound grander with every subsequent listen. Flutes, strings, piano -- it all makes for an opulent listen. Amitabh writes apt metaphorical lyrics that give you goosebumps. -Rujul

This song takes time to grow on you. Jonita is good. -Vaishali

Simple and joyous, it converys emotions with a surprising honesty and purity. -Svetlana

I hriday Hriday's voice :). -UVR

Affectingly sung by Gattani. But feels like it drops off abruptly. -Trisha

There's a pervading sense of loss, the flute interludes are good but you get a feeling the song is searching for something deep and not finding it. -Subrat

Some excellent lyrics could have taken this beautiful, lilting melody to an altogether different level. Still a brilliant Rahman piece! -Aman

The repetition of the "main tumhara" phrase imparts a prayer like quality to this quietly moving song. -Shalini

I love the way this song about 'incompleteness' ends *midway* thorugh a phrase/couplet which makes it appear incomplete. Love the the way the song is arranged -- relying mostly on the vocals, with very little instrumentation and splashes of piano notes. The Deewar-Dareecha analogy is quite original! Can't remember when was the last time I hear the word 'dareecha' in a song, which was nicely rhymed with 'seencha'. -Vishal
