Love and Life Quotes in Hindi

For Hindi status and shayari lovers. Two lines each, ready to forward.

ज़िंदगी में जो मिला, वो सब प्यार से मिला,
हर ग़म में भी कोई अपना साथ ही चला।
प्यार ही तो है जो ज़िंदगी को रंग देता है,
वरना ये सफ़र तो हर किसी को तंग देता है।
ज़िंदगी छोटी है, शिकवे कम रखना,
जिनसे प्यार हो, उन्हें पास हरदम रखना।
मोहब्बत ने सिखाया हमें जीने का सलीक़ा,
वरना ज़िंदगी थी बस गुज़रने का तरीक़ा।
हर सुबह नई उम्मीद, हर शाम तेरा ख़याल,
प्यार से ही खिलती है ज़िंदगी, यही है कमाल।
रिश्ते पैसों से नहीं, एहसास से चलते हैं,
दिल सच्चे हों तो पत्थर भी पिघलते हैं।
ज़िंदगी ने जब भी रुलाया, तूने हँसाया है,
तेरे प्यार ने हर मुश्किल को आसान बनाया है।
ख़ुशियाँ बाँटो तो दुगनी हो जाती हैं,
प्यार की बातें दिल में बस जाती हैं।
थोड़ी सी मोहब्बत, थोड़ा सा सब्र रखिए,
ज़िंदगी हसीन है, बस इसकी क़द्र रखिए।
जो दिल से चाहे, वो दूर नहीं होता,
सच्चा प्यार कभी मजबूर नहीं होता।
वक़्त बदलता है, लोग बदल जाते हैं,
सच्चे प्यार वाले फिर भी साथ निभाते हैं।
ज़िंदगी का हर पल अनमोल है यारों,
इसे प्यार से जियो, नफ़रत से न हारो।
न दौलत चाहिए, न शोहरत का ताज,
बस अपनों का प्यार रहे, यही है मेरा राज़।
दिल टूटा, फिर भी मुस्कुराना सीख लिया,
ज़िंदगी से प्यार करना ज़िंदगी ने सिखा दिया।

How to Use These Quotes

Add one personal line. A quote plus "this made me think of you" lands far better than a quote on its own.
Match the mood to the moment. Short lines suit stories and bios; the deep and relationship quotes suit a long caption or a message.
Send it when nothing is special. A love quote on an ordinary Tuesday means more than one on a birthday everyone remembers.
Credit the author. If you share a famous quote, keep the name with it, and skip any viral line you cannot trace to a source.
Pair it with a plan. If the quote is for your partner, follow it up with a date. Our list of creative date ideas has plenty that cost nothing.
