There are times(not often) that you come across movies that change your life, and probably this one changed a few things in me. At the least it has succeeded to plant its message in my brain and has in a obvious way, made me think and give the Jo-bhi-ho-so-ho philosophy a chance. The movie can be summed in its name (as was the case with luck by chance) ,Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. The highlight of the movie for me were the poems by Imraan that appeared in apt situations with strong words that rip your soul wide open and tell you to live life to the fullest.(yet has succeeded to keep it simple, courtesy Javed Akhtar).
How it is only natural to get caught up in a boxed life and believing that you want something only because you are expected to. Acknowledge, that you have merely scratched the surface of knowing your own true self and have to dig much deeper to find what you really want. Dive in, take a leap and face your ultimate fear. Cause you know what ? Life wont give you another chance. Its all that you make of it.
Immediately after I got back, I googled the poems . Found four of them posted in the facebook page for the movie. Thank the Akhtar’s, for giving us that new found love for life. All three of you have been brilliant.
WARNING: If you are in the moment may give you goosebumps.
Dilon 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
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...
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...
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.
