Day 211: Today's song is Tujhse Naraz Nahin Zindagi by Lata Mangeshkar & Anup Ghoshal

It is day 211, and today's song is Tujhse Naraz Nahin Zindagi sung by Lata Mangeshkar & Anup Ghoshal (as two separate versions) from the 1983 movie Masoom, directed by Shekhar Kapur. Music composed by R.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Gulzar.

The movie earned 5 Filmfare awards that year including for best music director and best lyrics writer.

I personally feel these two are the best music/lyrics creator combination ever in Bollywood. Sometimes I imagine how it would have been if S.D. Burman and Gulzar worked together. Would have been mind blowing.

The movie is based on the 1980 novel Man, Woman and Child by Erich Segal, with an Indian twist in the end.

Lyrics:

tujhase naaraaz nahi zindagi, hairaan hun mai

o hairaan hun mai

tere maasum savaalo se pareshaan hun mai

o pareshaan hun mai

jine ke liye sochaa hi na thaa, dard sambhaalane hoge

muskuraaun to, muskuraane ke karz uthaane hoge

muskuraaun kabhi to lagataa hai

jaise hotho pe karz rakhaa hai

tujhase

aaj agar bhar aai hai, bunde baras jaayegi

kal kyaa pataa inake liye aankhe taras jaayegi

jaane kahaan gum kahaan khoyaa

ek aansu chhupaake rakhaa thaa

tujhase

zindagi tere gam ne hame rishte naye samajhaaye

mile jo hame dhup me mile chhaanv ke thade saaye

(music for these lines!)

o tujhase
