Day 301 of 300: Today's song is Mera Jeevan Kuchh Kaam Na Aaya by Kishore Kumar - Mera Jiwan (1976)

Bonus song!

It is day 301 of 300, and today's song is Mera Jeevan Kuchh Kaam Na Aaya sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1976 movie Mera Jiwan directed by Bindoo Shukla. Music composed by Sapan Jagmohan, and lyrics written by M.G. Hashmat.

I just realized I did not have a single Sapan Jagmohan song in my list of 300 songs I posted so far. So the 301st song, a bonus song is his composition. Great composition.

I don't think this is a much known song. Even I did not know it until I heard it a couple months ago for the first time. Liked it so much that this song used to play at home at least once a day. Then I watched the movie too. Definitely an off beat non mainstream movie.

Song number 301, here it is, my rendition of the song:

Lyrics:

mera jivan kuchh kaam na aaya

jaise sukhe ped ki chhaya

o apno ke hote huye man me basi tanhai

ho aansu bana ke khushi aankho me maine barsayi

ho khushiyo ko rote rote duniya me ab to mera ji ghabraya

o baras gaye re sawan dariya bhi josh me aaye

ho phul bhi khilne lage kaliyo ke man muskaye

ho suni rahi ek dali uspe to ab tak koi phul na aaya

o jine ko ji na chahe maangu to maut na aaye

ho saanso ke chalne ko to jivan kaha nahi jaye

ho dard basa ke dil me mera nasib mujhko kaha pe laya

Thank you for listening!

Peace
