Dear Haule Haule,

Updated: Jan 31, 2023


 


 
I heard you for the first time as a 6-year-old when Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi first premiered on television. I distinctly remember thinking to myself that this is it. This is love. This is what it feels like.
 

 

 
Then I grew up, forgot about this gem and quite honestly the feeling too.
 
Up until I heard you again recently.
 

The very beauty of the lyrics is their simplicity. Not in its structure but in its meaning. Every emotion felt by that 6-year-old flooded back and you made me realise that nothing has really changed in my perception of love, a concept I was lost figuring out for a while.
 

 

 
“Tu sabra to kar mere yaar
 
Zara saans to le dildaar
 
Chal phikr nu goli maar yaar
 
Hai din zindadi de char”
 

 

 
Love is simple
 
Love can't be forced
 
And if it’s meant to be, it will be
 

 

 
“Rab de sahare chal de
 
Nahe kinare chal de
 
Doori hai na kahare chal de
 
Kya kehke gaya tha shaayar woh siyaana
 
Aag ka dariyan doob ke jaana”
 

 

 
Love is belief
 
Love is devotion
 
And it's worth the pain
 

 

 
As a hopeless romantic I can only be grateful that you exist.

Take this as a small thank you note from all the hopeful hearts out there.
 

 

 
A reinstated believer,
 
Adhwiti
