Love, one of the most enduring themes in cinema, is beautifully captured through these poignant lines:

There is a thing that still hasnt come on my lips it only peeks through my eyes... it is asking for words sometimes from you and sometimes from me... so that it can wear those words and come on the lips so that it can be embraced by words... but this thing is only a feeling... its like fragrance floating in the air fragrance without a voice... that you know of and so do I... its not hidden from the world what kind of a secret is this. - from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

(When you dont have love in your love... when you dont have a friend in pain... when you dont have a smile in your tears... when you dont a voice in your words... when your breaths are just breathing... when the night sets in every day of yours... when you only wait for time... when you only remember that one person... why am I a traveller when shes the destination for someone else... my heartbeats have left me alone... its hard to live in love its hard to live in love) - from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
