Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai?

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobabra is one of my all-time favorite movies because of the feel-good factor, because of the cinematography, because of the many lessons it’s taught me, because of the beautiful dialogues, and because of its immense impact on me.

I usually don’t read poetry, but this poem in the movie is overwhelmingly wonderful and beautiful. It connects at a deeper level, one which I don’t seem to understand yet. But, it brings a sigh of relief in the biggest of storms.

This poem describes indescribable feelings of pain, hurt, and suffering perfectly. It feels like the emotions have been put into words bringing this sense of calm that I’ve never felt before.

This poem helps me understand the pain and accept it the way it is; a simple yet complex part of my life. This small part which I enlarged and one which I cried over for days, but is now huge learning and a milestone to remember.

This poem made me realize that feeling pain is inevitable, but so is the feeling of happiness, warmth, and joy. Sometimes you don’t know why you are crying, why you are remembering all those moments? The rush of feelings at that time is inexplicable.

This poem is snow-filled with warmth, pain outcompeted with tranquility and an inexplicable feeling explained.

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
