About Romantic Shayari
Romantic shayari is love's lighter, playful side. Gentle, warm verses by Gulzar, Sahir Ludhianvi, and Javed Akhtar that lean more mischievous than intense — well suited to the early days of dating, a flirty text, or everyday affection rather than heavier declarations.
❝I am a poet of a moment or two, A moment or two is my story, A moment or two is my existence, A moment or two is my youth. Before me, how many poets came, Came and then went away, Some left with sighs on their lips, Some sang their songs and went on their way.❞
❝What is life but an offering of one's own soul and breath, None will understand if you try to explain until death. Just keep on living and keep on smiling along the way, This itself is the story of life throughout the day.❞
❝Come, let us be strangers to each other once more, Let me hold no hope of you, let you see no faith from my core. Do not swear to understand my pain today, Have no intention to give me your grief's sway.❞
❝I am a poet of moments two or three, But this pain belongs to years that have been. On paper I will write out everything, But whose wound is this that I am bearing.❞
❝Sometimes a thought crosses my heart, that you were made for me alone. Before this, you lived among the stars somewhere, you were called to earth for me.❞
