🎵 Jane Wo Kaise Log The by Hemant Kumar

There comes a point in life when you want to give up. Students give up for not being able to meet the expectations of their teachers, employed people give up since they're not earning to the expectations of the society, females surrender tired of the boundaries set by their families.

Only person who's really happy is a kid in this world right now. Carefree, full of innocence, not worrying about the past or future. They're truly living, truly enjoying life. Their tears are real, their smiles are real. Not like us, fake.

Disappointments come. Don't know if they come from parents, friends, employees, co-workers or from ourselves only. But we loose hope. Some give up their life. They find it more easy rather than living in this world. Some keep on going, not knowing want to do. It's a vicious cycle they believe, and no courage to give up their lives

And a few people accept. Not that they find a hope but they accept their destiny, this life. They think how success and happiness looks like, observe other people, and maybe try to find a reason of their existence through others.

जाने वो कैसे लोग थे जिनके प्यार को प्यार मिला

हमने तो जब कलियाँ माँगी काँटों का हार मिला...

जाने वो कैसे लोग थे जिनके प्यार को प्यार मिला

हमने तो जब कलियाँ माँगी काँटों का हार मिला

Because they didn't receive love, they didn't knew what love was. It was a foreign feeling to them. A sense of belonging, a sense of being taken care of was not there. They wondered what love would be like. Because when they tried to seek love, they never got it back. Maybe they didn't give love, so they didn't receive it back.

But was love a transaction? Who knows

They plucked a flower but only thorns reached them. So they wondered, was love beautiful as books and movies say, or not?

खुशियों की मंज़िल ढूँढी तो ग़म की गर्द मिली

चाहत के नग़मे चाहे तो आहें सर्द मिली

दिल के बोझ को दूना कर गया जो ग़मखार मिल

They see people getting into their dream college, their dream job, their dream partner, their dream house. It was once their dreams too. But alas! It broke, shattered and crushed with the weights of responsibilities and what society wanted, not their heart.

Searching for happiness, they founded grief.

Searching for love, they found two- faced people

Searching for their dreams, they found broken pieces

हमने तो जब कलियाँ माँगी काँटों का हार मिला

जाने वो कैसे लोग थे जिनके प्यार को प्यार मिला

Their hearts and things around made them more sad, more dissapointed, more heavy.

They wanted flowers but received thorns :(

बिछड़ गया हर साथी देकर पल दो पल का साथ

किसको फ़ुरसत है जो थामे दीवानों का हाथ

हमको अपना साया तक अक्सर बेज़ार मिला

Fake. Everything told and seen was fake until the reality sunk it.

Nobody stays

Everyone leaves

People came, spent time, created an impression and finally left

Some people were crazy, crazy for them to hold them, cherish them, make promises. But oh, nobody wanted this affection from them. Heartbreaking but yes. You broke yourself into pieces to heal them and they left breaking those pieces more.

Now even their own shadows leave them in the dark. Pathetic, they felt. When their own shadows can leave them, how can someone else stay?

हमने तो जब कलियाँ माँगी काँटों का हार मिला

जाने वो कैसे लोग थे जिनके प्यार को प्यार मिला

They asked for the happy moments, only heartbreaks occured and happened to them.

इसको ही जीना कहते हैं तो यूँ ही जी लेंगे

उफ़ न करेंगे लब सी लेंगे आँसू पी लेंगे

ग़म से अब घबराना कैसा, ग़म सौ बार मिला

They say try try until you cry. They tried, tried harder and even cried. But the limit has been reached. The tears have also dried. And with a heavy heart they've accepted

It's destiny

They can't change it

Heartbreak is their real life

Acceptance is the only way out

Now even if tears arrive, they'll wipe it themselves, will not want anyone else to do this for them like the world had promised

Nobody took care of them, nobody gave them love, they got fooled by this cunning world. They're now not even afraid since the dissapointments, the scars, the ugly heartbreaks have become a part of their life, a habit , a routine.

हमने तो जब कलियाँ माँगी काँटों का हार मिला

They once wanted beautiful flowers but ended but receiving thorns so they won't try again. They will accept the thorns happily, will not cry even if the thorns hurt them.

But the thought always remain :

'how one would feel who would get a tinch of love in their lives?'

जाने वो कैसे लोग थे जिनके प्यार को प्यार मिला

बहुत अजीब होती है मोहब्बत ,

मिल जाएगी तो मज़ा देती हैं,

न मिले तो सजा देती हैं।
