Spirit of Living

Coming up is one of my favourite songs from Dev Anand's "Humdono". this album had wonderful songs..and greatest aspect about the songs is that all songs are brilliant..musically and lyrically... One which reflects the Spirit of Living is :

Main Zindagi ka saath nibhaatha chalaa gayaa...
har fikr ko dhue mein udaathaa chalaa gaya..

barbaadiyon ka sor manaana fuzool tha..
barbaadiyon ka jashn manaatha chalaa gayaa..
har fikr ko dhue mein udaathaa chalaa gaya..

jo milgaya usiko muqaddar samajhliya..
jo khogaya tha usko bhulaathaa chalaa gayaa..
har fikr ko dhue mein udaathaa chalaa gaya..

gham aur khushi ke pharaq na mehsoos ho jahaan..
main dil ko us maqaam pe laathaa chalaa gayaa..
har fikr ko dhue mein udaathaa chalaa gaya..
Main Zindagi ka saath nibhaatha chalaa gayaa...

=====
look at the lines which say that he celebrates his own troubles/problems etc.,. his own definition or Nirvana in lines .."gham aur khushi ke pharaq na mehsoos ho jahaan.."..simply Awesome!!

Lyrics written by Sahir. Wonderfully composed by Jaidev and mohd.rafi's over-the-top rendition. lastly, clap for the man behind this song, Dev Anand, for he is the producer.
can anyone write/compose/sing a song like this today?

Another favorite of mine from this movie is "Kabhi khud pe kabhi haalath pe ronaa aayaa"....i'm sure no one but rafi (maybe manna dey) could have done that song justice!

thats right..as i said..every song is a gem! the beauty of "kabhie khud pe" is that out of 3 charanams, 2 are are in same tune while he changes the tune of 3rd charanam (kaun rotha hai..kisi aur ke khaathir ae- dost).and yes, Rafi shines.
last but not the least, it has predominant shades of raag Jaijaiwanthi.

mein jindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya
har fikr ko dhuye mein udata chala gaya
har fikr ko dhuye mein udaaaaaa....

barbadiyon ka sok manana fizool tha
barbadiyon ka sok manana fizool tha
manana fizool tha - 2
barbadiyon ka jashn manata chala gaya-2
har fikr ko dhuye mein udaaaa...

jo mil gaya usiko muqaddar samajh liya-2
muqddar samajh liya-2
jo mil gaya mein usko bhulata chala gaya
jo kho gaya main usko bhulata chala gaya
main jindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya
har fikr ko dhuye mein udata chala gayaaa
