Day 17. Life is just a dream, Zindagi Khwab Hai sung by Mukesh - Jagte Raho (1956)

Life is just a dream, Zindagi Khwab Hai sung by Mukesh is the song of day and it is day 17 of 300.

Today's song is from the 1956 movie Jagte Raho, directed by Amit Maitra and Sombhu Mitra. Music direction by Salil Chaudhury and lyrics by Shailendra.

This is  a fun song, and I hope I did a fair enough rendition of this song picturized on a drunk man walking the street singing.

Lyrics:

Zindagi khwab hai

Khwab mein jhooth hai kya

Aur bhala sach hai kya

Sab sach hai

Zindagi khwab hai

Dil ne ham se jo kaha

Ham ne waisa hi kiya

Dil ne ham se jo kaha

Ham ne waisa hi kiya

Phir kabhi furasat

Se sochenge

Bura tha ya bhala

Zindagi khwab hai

Ek katara may ka jab

Patthar ke honthon par pada

Ek katara may ka jab

Patthar ke honthon par pada

Us ke seene mein

Bhi dil dhadaka

Ye us ne bhi kaha

Kya zindagi khwaab hai

Khwab mein jhooth hai kya

Aur bhala sach hai kya

Sab sach hai

Zindagi khwab hai

Ek pyaali bhar ke main ne

Gham ke maare dil ko di

Ek pyaali bhar ke main ne

Gham ke maare dil ko di

Zeher ne maara zeher ko

Murde mein phir jaan aa gai

Zindagi khwab hai

Khwab mein jhooth hai kya

Aur bhala sach hai kya

Zindagi khwab hai

Khwab mein jhooth hai kya

Aur bhala sach hai kya

Sab sach hai.
