This was composed for a film of the same name, directed by Arindam Mitra. Shunya the film has not been released. The lyrics by Sanjeev Sharma talk about a man who has reached an absolute nadir, complete disillusionment, and is unable to see a way out. It's very difficult to make a song about nothingness, and this one took us about 4 months in 2007. The Bengali lyrics emerged from Asheem's head, possibly line from a poem he'd read many moons ago. Rahul plays the alto sax and Amit the Clarinet in this song.

Lyrics :--
Aankhen jamee si, Dil bhaari bhaari
Saanson ki laye se, Tooti hai yaari
Tooti hai duniya tooti tasveerein,
Chahatein hain tooti, tooti muraade
Toote hain sapney, jeeye thhe jo main ne
Tooti hakikat, galatfaimiyon si
Ainey ke peechhe, aks ik bharam thha
Andhera jo utra, aiina bhi gum thha
Jhoothe ujaale, Jhoothe andhere,
Jhoot aankh hi mein baste jhoot-moot phere
Jhoothe aadhaar hain, jhoothe aakaar hain
Such berahem hai jaana, shoonya mein utarkar
Kaino neebe jai, bare bare
Khali dil, khali man, kaisa hai ye khalipan
Rooh hai kahan, jiske roobaroo thhe hum,
Kaisi hai ye khala, khali sa khayal hai,
Khali khali sa haal hai, ab to behali bhi khaali
