One of the things that fans and critics are raving about are the gorgeous poems by Javed

Akhtar, which were recited by Imraan (Farhan Akhtar) in Zindagi Na Mile gi Dobara. Farhan thanked his father on twitter for the poems, It s so fantastic th at everyone loves the poems in ZNMD. Thank you pa for injecting soul into the fi lm with your gifted hand. Since as soon as we were done watching the film, we were looking for these lines of poetry, we thought you probably would be too, so here are the four shers (po ems) from Zindai Na Milegi Dobara! 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 There is a matter that has almost come to my lips This is evident in my eyes Sometimes from you, sometimes from me They ask for words To take their shape and come to my lips And to be embraced by my voice But this matter Is a feeling only a feeling Floating in air like fragrance Fragrance becomes its voice That you know of That i know of It s not hidden from the world Don t know what kind of secret is this

2 Jab Jab Jab Jab

jab dard ka baadal chaya ghum ka saya lehraya aansoo palkon tak aya 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 Every time the cloud of pain loomed A tear filled my eyes When this lonely heart was scared I told my heart Why do you cry for such reason? This happens everywhere in this w orld These dark lonely times, time has distributed them to all. Some sadness is part of everyone s story, Some sunshine is a part of everyone s life Your eyes are damp for no reason Every second is a new season Why do you waste your time over such matters Why do you cry I asked my heart

3 Pighlay neelam sa behta hua yeh samaan Neeli neeli si khamoshiyaan Na kahin hai zameen Na kahin aasmaan Sarsaraati huyi tehniyaan, pattiyaan Keh rahi hain ki bas ek tum ho yahaan Sirf main hoon meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein Aisi gehraiyaan Aisi tanhaiyaan Aur main sirf main Apne honay pe mujhko yaqeen aa gaya The moment flows by like molten sapphire Deep Blue silences No Earth below No Sky above The rustling branches and leaves Saying that only you are here Only me My breath My heartbeat Such Depth like this Such Loneliness like this And me only me I now believe I exist Credit:Sudha 4Dilon mein tum apni Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum Nazar mein khwabon ki Bijliyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise Aazad rehno sikho Tum ek dariya ke jaise Lehron mein behna sikho Har ek lamhe se tum milo

Khole apni bhaayein Har ek pal ek naya samha Dekhen yeh nigahaein Jo apni aankhon mein Hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum Dilon mein tum apni Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum If you carry impatience in your heart then you are alive If you carry dreams in your eyes then you are alive Learn to live like the free waves of wind Learn to flow like the sea does as waves Receive every moment in life with open arms Every moment is a new beginning seeing with your eyes If you carry surprise in your eyes then you are alive If you carry impatience in your heart then you are alive Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara!
