Dil Aakhir Tu Kyun Rota Hai - Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
This poem from the star-studded movie is about consoling a broken heart.
“...Yeh jo gehre sannate hai
Waqt ne sabko hi baatein hai
Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa
Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa
Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai
Har pal ek naya mausam hai
Kyun tu aise pal khota hai
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai.”
Qaidi Number 786 - Veer Zaara
This heart-melting poem is from the Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta starrer.
“...Mai qaidi no.786 jail ki salakhon se baahir dekhta hoon
Apne gaon ke rangon mein lipti ek nayi zaara ko dekhta hoon
Mere khwabon ko poora karti khud ke khwaab bhool chuki hai woh
Mere logon ki saiwa karke apne logo ko chor chuki hai woh
Uska daaman ab khushiyon se bharne ko dil karta hai
Uske liye ek aur zindagi phir jeene ko jee karta hai…”
