But in Bollywood we say,

Door kahin aasmanon par, Hote hain yeh saare faisle, Kaun jaane koi humsafar, Kab kaise kahan mile🎶

यार मिसाल-ए-ओस चले

पाँव के तले फिरदौस चले

कभी डाल डाल, कभी पात पात

मैं हवा पे ढूँढू उसके निशान...

She walks like the dew drops

Paradise seems to move under her feet

At times on branches, at times on leaves

I search for her traces in the air...

[chashmenaaz]

نہ ملتا غم تو بربادی کے افسانے کہاں جاتے

اگر دنیا چمن ہوتی تو ویرانے کہاں جاتے

If there was no grief, where would the tales of destruction go? If the world were a garden, where would desolation find its abode?

Shakeel Badayuni

na milta gham to barbaadi ke afsane kahan jate agar duniya chaman hoti to virane kahan jate

The Natyashastra, an essential text on performing arts in ancient India, lists 8 sthayibhavas or stable emotions.

2. Hasya (हास्य): Mirth, Laughter, Jocosity

3. Soka (शोक): Sorrow, Misery, Despair

Song: Abhi Na Jao Chor Kar- Asha Bosley, Mohd. Rafi

Lyrics in English (translated from Hindi) Please don’t leave yet, my heart isn’t satiated yet, You have just arrived, Just now you have, You have just only arrived, You have spread like the spring, Let the air catch your fragrance, Let my gaze wander a bit, Let this evening fade away, Let my heart steady itself, Let me live for a little while, Let me sip the intoxication, Haven’t said anything yet, Haven’t heard anything yet, Please don’t leave yet, my heart isn’t satiated yet,

P.S. Also is it just me or does Dev Anand look like Taika Waititi
