Zindagi

Sometimes, very rarely though, a song comes and penetrates your very soul. Asking why it evokes so much within an otherwise mundane spirit is blasphemous. Zindagi is one such song. Often I have pondered and with much futility on the enigmatic power of music. This song from Rahman's new work of genius (though certainly not his best) is an ode to the pathos of life. This conversational masterpiece sung by Srinivas and penned by Gulzar is one of the my favourite's on the album. Also, Mastam Mastam and Tu Muskura i'd absolutely recommend. For the time being, allow me to gift you this demure classic in the making.


Album Name:Yuvvraaj
Song Name: Zindagi



Zindagi Zindagi, kya kami reh gayi?
Aankh ki kor mein…
Aankh ki kor mein, kyon nami reh gayi?


Zindagi Zindagi, kya kami reh gayi?
Aankh ki kor mein, kyon nami reh gayi?
Tu kahan kho gayi?
Tu kahan kho gayi?

Koi aaya nahin
Do-peher ho gayi
Koi aaya nahin
Zindagi Zindagi

Din aaye, din jaaye
Sadiyaan bhi gin aaye
Sadiyaan re…
Tanhayee lipti hai…
Lipti hai saansoun ki
Rasiya re…
Tere bina badi pyasi hai
Tere bina hai pyasi re
Nainoun ki do saakhiyan re
Tanha re…
Main tanha re

Zindagi Zindagi, kya kami reh gayi?
Aankh ki kor mein, kyon nami reh gayi?
Zindagi Zindagi

Subah ka kohra hai
Sham ki dhool hai
Tanhayee hai
Raat bhi sard hai
Dard hi dard hai
Ruswayee hai
Kaise katein?
Saansein uljhi hain
Raatein badi jhulsi jhulsi hain
Naina, kori sadiyaan re
Tanha re…
Main tanha re

Zindagi Zindagi, kya kami reh gayi?
Aankh ki kor mein, kyon nami reh gayi?
Zindagi Zindagi, kya kami reh gayi?
Aankh ki kor mein, kyon nami reh gayi?

Tu kahan kho gayi?
Koi aaya nahin
Do-peher ho gayi
Koi aaya nahin
Zindagi Zindagi, kya kami reh gayi?
Aankh ki kor mein, kyon nami reh gayi?

  1. Anuj bhai ! This is a gem of a song...truly touches the soul..thanks for blogging on this one..In the spirit of resentment after viewing the overacting of Salman and Katrina in the trailors,I forgot that Rahman Sahab is directing music for Yuvvraj !!!
    Im downloading the album this very instant!
