Yuh nazar ki baat ki aur dil chura gaye...hum toh samjhe the bud, aap toh dhadkan suna gaye!
Ek baat hoti thi tab tum bohot yaad aati thi...jab jab main saans leta tha tab tab!
Dus saal pehle tumhaare naam ka diya jalaya tha maine, aur usse aaj tak bujhne nahi diya!
Pyaar ka karobaar toh bahut baar kiya hai...magar pyaar sirf ek baar
Dil ke chaalon ko koi shayari kahe toh parwaah nahi...takleef toh tab hoti hai jab koi waah waah waah karta hai!
Pyaar aatma ki parchhaai hai, ishq ishwar ki ibadat aur mohabbat zindagi ka maksad
Babuji ne kaha gaon chhod do, sabne kaha Paro ko chhod do, Paro ne kaha sharab chhod do, aaj tumne kaha haveli chhod do...ek din aayega jab woh kahenge, duniya hi chhod do!
Kaun kambakht bardaasht karne ko peeta hai... hum toh peete hai ki yaha par baith sake, tumhe dekh sake, tumhe bardaasht kar sake!
Apne hisse ki zindagi toh hum jee chuke Chunni babu, ab toh bas dhadkano ka lihaaz karte hai...kya kahe yeh duniya walo ko joh, aakhri saans par bhi aitraaz karte hai!
Aurat maa hoti hai, behen hoti hai, patni hoti hai, dost hoti hai...aur jab woh kuch nahi hoti toh tawaif hoti hai.
As we celebrate 23 glorious years of Devdas, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is already gearing up for his next cinematic masterpiece, Love & War, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal.
