The song "Safar" from the movie "Jab Harry Met Sejal" is a soulful track that talks about the journey of life. The lyrics are written in a way that the singer is reminiscing about the past while acknowledging the present. The lines "Safar ka hi tha main, safar ka raha idhar ka hi hoon na udhar ka raha" mean that the singer was always a part of the journey, and he belongs to the present and not the future. He accepts that the journey has been difficult, and he has had bitter experiences, but he still continues to move forward in life. The lines "Jab se gaon se main shehar hua itna kadva hogaya ki zahr hua" means that since the singer moved from a village to a city, life has become bitter and hard for him.
The song also talks about the realization that life is transient. The lines "Yeh umar, vaqt, rasta, guzarta raha," depict that time passes, life moves on, and one must continue with their journey. The song's overall message is to keep moving forward, no matter how difficult the journey gets. The lyrics are beautifully supported by the music, which is soothing and expressive.

सफ़र का ही था मैं सफर का रहा
I am a part of a journey, and I have been traveling all along
इधर का ही हूँ ना उधर का रहा
I am still on the same path, without any change in direction
मैं रहा (मैं रहा) उ उ
I am still here (still here)
जबसे गाँव से मैं शहर हुआ
Ever since I left my village and came to the city
इतना कड़वा हो गया की ज़हर हुआ
It has become so bitter that it feels like poison
मैं तो रोज़ाना
Every day
ना चाहा था ये हो जाना मैंने
I never wanted this to happen
ये उम्र, वक़्त रास्ता गुज़रता रहा
This age, time, and path keep passing by

Still, I am here

A message for those who are struggling.
I will never know your struggle personally ,but i assure you we all are in this together.
To everyone who has gone through unspoken tragedies.
I believe you.
To everyone who sits quietly in the back of room,
While evryone enjoying, I see you.
To everyone who cries when the whole world is asleep,
I hear you.
To everyone who is going through pain,
I feel you.
To everyone who reading this,
you are not alone.
It isn't your fault.
You are not weak for crying.
You matter
You do deserve love and happiness.
You can do it.
You are beautiful inside and out the just way you are.
I'm sending my love to all.
P.S:- If you ever need someone to talk, my dm is always open (Am good listener:))
