Bollywood and romance have a long-standing affair that has often brought success at the box-office. That’s the reason why it has been a sure-shot idea of catching the attention of the audience for years now.

However, in the recent past, Hindi films have stayed away from creating out-and-out romantic films due to their obsession with creating something out of the box. But, with films like ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ in the pipeline, the audience can surely expect intense romance on the big screen which hasn’t been seen in a while.

And when there is romance in our movies - there is also song, dance and some heart-touching poetry that comes along with it. Recently the poetry on love and romance in Kartik Aaryan’s voice from the ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ teaser got the romantic-lovers raving about and it went viral on social media.

Today we’ve lined up romantic poetries from Bollywood films that caught the audience’s attention over the years. Scroll through:

‘Kabhi Kabhie’ (1976)

“Kabhi kabhie mere dil main khayal aata hain

Ki zindagi teri zulfon ki narm chhaon main guzarne pati to shadab ho bhi sakti thi.

Yeh ranj-o-gham ki siyahi jo dil pe chhayi hain

Teri nazar ki shuaon main kho bhi sakti thi.

Magar yeh ho na saka aur ab ye aalam hain

Ki tu nahin, tera gham teri justjoo bhi nahin...”

‘Hum Aapke Hai Koun..!’ (1994)

“Kaate nahin kat-te lamhe intezaar ke,

Nazaren bichaye baithe hain raste pe yaar ke,

Dil ne kaha dekhe jo jalwe husne yaar ke,

Laya hai unhe kaun falak se utaar ke.”

‘Sarfarosh’ (1999)

“Phool khilte hai, bahaaro ka samaa hota hai

Aaise mausam mein hi toh pyar jawan hota hai

Dil ki baaton ko hooton se nahi kehte

Yeh fasaana toh nighahon se bayaan hota hai.”

‘Fanaa’ (2006)

“Humse dur jao ge kaise,

Dilse hume bhulaoge kaise,

Hum to khushbu hai jo sanso me baste hai,

Khud ki sanso ko rok paonge kaise.”

‘Om Shanti Om’ (2007)

“Itni shiddat se maine tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai

Ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai.”

‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ (2012)

“Teri aankho ki namkin mastiya

Teri hansi ki beparwah gustakhiya

Teri zulfo ki leharati angdaiya

Nahi bhulunga main

Jab tak hai jaan…”

‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ (2023)

“Baatein… Jo kabhi puri na ho,

Vaade… jo adhure na ho,

Hasi… jo kabhi kam na ho,

Aankhein… jo kabhi nam na ho,

Aur agar ho, to bas itna zaroor ho

Aansoo uske ho, par... aankhein meri ho.”
