Coming back to reel, I scrolled. But the words remained in my mind. Maybe because like most of us, I have been that person. The one who is always a little late.

When a Shayari Becomes a Mirror
It's weird that how some words hold up as mirror in front of you. Showing you truth with reflection. “Humesha der kar deta hu main” — isn’t just poetry; it’s a confession I feel. A sentence with regret.
I think, it's the story of everyone who waited for 'Right Time' to come. Then apologized for being late. The message we all typed but never sent. The chance we didn't take because we thought tomorrow will be much nicer and kinder. But tomorrow rarely is, isn't it?

Why we always come late?
The word 'der' means 'late' in this poetry.
1. We wait for perfect moment.
The word 'Perfect' is non existential. There is no thing as perfect- No human is perfect, No time is perfect, No place is perfect. We wait for right mood and things to align with us but I feel the wait for perfection is just an excuse. There are no such thing as 'Perfect Moment'- just the moments that slipped away.
2. We fear results
What if it doesn't go as it's planned? What if they don't feel the same? What if I fail?- This 'What if' is the problem here. So, we delay not because we don't care but because we care too much.
3. We Believe We Have Time
This one hurts the most.
We live like we have endless tomorrows but that's a hoax
Until one day, we don’t.

The Lesson Hidden Between the Words
“Humesha der kar deta hu main” isn’t loud — it’s quiet. Just like regret. It doesn't arrive in a moment; it builds up slowly with the thought of doing all the small things later. After a while if we don't do, the regret builds up.
- A call we never made.
- A plan that never happened.
- A feeling we never shared.
And suddenly, it’s not about being late anymore —it’s about missing it entirely.
This shayari isn’t just about being late; it’s about being human and as a humans, we all carry this small flaw — we hesitate, we overthink, we hold back for the things we over care.
But the line is also a gentle reminder, that maybe, today is still on our side. That maybe, we can stop being “late” for our own lives and be on time. Maybe “der” isn’t about time at all instead it is about courage.
So if this line hits you the way it hit me that night, take it as a sign —
to stop delaying what your heart already knows it wants.
Because the truth is — “Humesha der kar deta hu main” only hurts when you realize…
you’re the one living it and trust me its a wrong place to be.
