The fact is 90 percent of Hindi films are romances, and therefore, about the heart, or dil in Hindi. The songs (again, almost all Hindi films are musicals) too have loads of romance. Here are some common uses of the word 'dil' in songs -
Dil machal raha hai..hard to translate, but roughly, the heart is exuberant..
Dil beqaraar sa hai..again, tough to achieve an accurate translation ..but restless heart could be close.
O mere dil ke chain..addressing the loved one as the balm for the heart.
Dil ek mandir hai..the heart is a temple.
Deewana leke aaya hai dil ka taraana ..the heart as a gift to the beloved.
and of course, Dilwaale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge..it started as a song in Chor Machaye Shor, and went on to be the title of a blockbuster starring one of the best screen pairs -Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Literal translation..the guy with a heart will take away the bride.
