Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Poems

Poem 1

Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahin
Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti
Tumse kabhi, mujhse kabhi
Kuch lafz hain woh maangti
Jinko pehanke honton tak aa jaaye woh
Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh
Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai
Ahsas hi ahsas hai

Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti
Khushboo jo be-aawaaz hai
Jiska pata tumko bhi hai
Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai
Duniya se bhi chupta nahin
Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai

Poem 2

Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya
Jab ghum ka saya lehraya
Jab aansoo palkon tak aya
Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya

Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai
Duniya mein yunhi hota hai

Yeh jo gehre sannate hain
Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain
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

Poem 3

Pighle neelam sa behta ye sama,
neeli neeli si khamoshiyan,
na kahin hai zameen na kahin aasmaan,
sarsaraati hui tehniyaan pattiyaan,
keh raheen hai bas ek tum ho yahan,
bas main hoon,
meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein,
aisi gehraiyaan, aisi tanhaiyaan,
aur main… sirf main.
Apne hone par mujhko yakeen aa gaya.

Poem 4 (Thanks Abhijit Chatterjee)

Dilon me tum apni betabiyan leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
Nazar me khwaabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
Hwa ke jhokon ke jaise aazad rehno sekho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna sekho
Hr ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahein
Hr ek pal ek nya sama dekhe nigahein
Jo apni ankhon mein hairanian leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
Dilon mein tum apni betabian leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum

  • Each poem captured the moment in all its entirety, all the facets and all the hidden angles! Mesmerizing and encompassing!

  • The last poem –

    Dilon me tum apni betabiyan leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
    Nazar me khwaabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
    Hwa ke jhokon ke jaise aazad rehno sekho
    Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna sekho
    Hr ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahein
    Hr ek pal ek nya sama dekhe nigahein
    Jo apni ankhon mein hairanian leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
    Dilon mein tum apni betabian leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum

  • i loved the poems,just one thing.why would some one who thinks itis ovr rated pause search for it and then write the same isnt it waste of time for the same…srsly stupid:p

  • bakwass hai saari…itni gandi poems koi kaise likh sakta hai….Farhan ka level kam ho gaya hai.
    In poems ki vajah se ye film flop ho gayi

  • Hi,
    I watched the movie yesterday, with English subtitles in Canada. Even the translation were so beautiful, so touching and I would really appreciate if the person who posted the poems could translate them. I esp like the ones when they were on the boat after the diving and the one where he meets his dad and they stay in the car for the night.

    Thanks a lot!

  • These poems reels the mind into introspection…in search of that spark which makes a difference in this chaos !!
    Soothing , thought provoking …changing words

    Thanks.

  • ye poems tension release karne vali nahi tension dene vali hai……itni bakwaas koi kaise likh sakta hai……log faltu mein hi inki taarif kar rahe hai……..sabse bakwass part of the film

  • @lovekesh – First what kind of a name is this “love-Hair” , bet you are bald hahaha

    Second : why did you come to this page in the first place ? and took the ‘pains’ to read through the poems ? …..well either you are just one insecure poet or just another crappy critic , well personally i think you need a brain transplant
