Do pal ruka, khwaabon ka kaarvaan
The caravan of dreams stopped only for a few moments,
Aur phir, chal diye, tum kahaan, ham kahaan
and then we walked off on separate ways!
Do pal ki thi, ye dilon ki daastaan
This story of our love lasted only a few moments,
Aur phir, chal diye, tum kahaan, ham kahaan
and then we walked off on separate ways!
Aur phir chal diye, tum kahaan, ham kahaan
and then we walked off on separate ways!
This portion above was what was played in the episode. It was aptly chosen as it represented the crack that this Mrs. Amritsar issue has brought into their relationship. Ever since Yuvi and Mahi have entered, Kunj and Twinkle have gotten closer as they are working together, expressing their feelings, etc. It seemed dreamlike because it was going so perfect. Almost like when things are exceptionally well and people say "It was like a dream come true". That's how I perceived their relationship to be because while their plans were failing and things were awry, they were closer and stronger. They had decided they would move forward together as a team like a caravan. Then, there was a brief pause in this "caravan of dreams" about the Mrs. Amritsar contest. In a matter of a day, there was a severe clash of opinions that caused intense problems that affect them to this day. Kunj had been supporting Twinkle for all she did, but now, he suggested something of her, and after promising him that she would listen she does not. I can understand why he would be upset. It seemed as if the progress they had been making was futile and minute. He even mentions it today when he says that he thought atleast they were friends who shared secrets and etc.
Tum the ke thi koyi ujli kiran
Was it you or was it a ray of light?
Tum the ya koyi kali muskaayi thi
Was it you, or was it a smiling flowerbud?
Tum the ya tha sapnon ka tha saawan
Was it you or was it raining dreams?
Tum the ke khushiyon ki ghata chhaayi thi
Was it you or was there a cloud of happiness above me?
Tum the ke tha koyi phool khila
Was it you, or did a flower bloom?
Tum the ya mila tha mujhe naya jahaan
Was it you, or did I find a whole new world?
Tum the ya khushboo hawaaon mein thi
Was it you, or was there a scent in the breeze?
Tum the ya rang saari dishaaon mein the
Was it you, or were there colors in all directions?
Tum the ya roshni raahon mein thi
Was it you, or were the roads lit with brightness?
Tum the ya geet goonje fizaaon mein the
Was it you, or were songs echoing in the air?
Tum the mile ya mili thi manzilein
Was it you, or did I find my life's destination?
Tum the ke tha jaadoo bhara koyi sama
Was it you, or was it simply a magical atmosphere?
I'm not going to break these two versus time for the sake of time (I imagine how boring it must get to read all this ranting, haha). These two verses essentially describe feelings caused by love but then ask if the person was the cause for them. I think this works to describe how the given closeness between the two caused them to have these feelings and now those feelings were shattered leaving them even more confused.
I think overall, this song, Do Pal or Two Moments represents the "flip of a coin" nature of relationships were feelings may not be explicitly expressed. At time things are excellent, at times things are bad. But, what matters is that you surpass those moments.
Thank you for reading. Please leave your thoughts!
