Lyrics:

Oh oh oh oh oh

Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Zara dekh le aakar parvane

Teree kaunsi hai manzil

Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Oh oh oh oh oh

Meraa geet mere dil ki pukar hai

Jaha mai hoon wahi teraa pyar hai

Meraa geet mere dil ki pukar hai

Jaha mai hu wahi teraa pyar hai

Meraa dil hai teree mehfil

Zara dekh le aakar parvane

Teree kaunsi hai manzil

Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Naa mai sapna hu naa koyee raaz hoon

Ek dard bhari aawaz hoon

Naa mai sapna hu naa koyee raaz hoon

Ek dard bhari aawaj hoon

Piya der naa kar aa mil

Zara dekh le aakar parvane

Teree kaunsi hai manzil

Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Dushman hai hazaro yahan jaan ke

Zara milna nazar pehchaanke

Dushman hai hazaro yahan jaan ke

Zara milna nazar pehchaanke

Kayi roop me hai qatil

Zara dekh le aakar parvane

Teree kaunsi hai manzil

Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Oh oh oh oh oh.

Day 19: What a riddle life is, Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli, by Manna Dey - Anand (1971)

It is day 19, and today's song, Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli, is an evergreen, heart touching song from one of the top and memorable Bollywood movies of 1971, Anand, directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. 

Oh! what a riddle life is, sometimes it makes us smile, sometimes it makes us cry! Golden super song of all times, sung by none other than the great superlatively amazing singer with a golden voice and superb singing skills, Manna Dey. Lyrics by Yogesh are deep and brimmed with basic yet profound lessons of life. Music composed by Salil Chaudhury.

The movie was pictured with Rajesh Khanna playing the character of a man at the door step of his death. He knows he is terminal, yet he is a cheerful and a joyous man who brings love and goodwill to everyone, wherever he goes. He spreads Anand, bliss!

I guess I shall watch this movie tonight....

Lyrics:

Zindagi kaisi hai paheli haye

Kabhi to hansaye, kabhi ye rulaaye

Zindagi kaisi hai paheli haye

Kabhi to hansaye, kabhi ye rulaaye

Kabhi dekho man nahi jaage

Peechhe peechhe sapnon ke bhaage

Hey kabhi dekho man nahi jaage

Peechhe peechhe sapnon ke bhaage

Ik din sapnon ka raahi

Chala jaaye sapnon ke aage kahan

Zindagi kaisi hai paheli haye

Kabhi to hansaye, kabhi ye rulaaye

Jinhone sajaaye yahan mele

Sukh-dukh sang-sang jhele

Hey ae jinhone sajaaye yahan mele

Sukh-dukh sang-sang jhel

Wohi chunkar khamoshi

Yoon chale jaaye akele kahan

Zindagi kaisi hai paheli haye

Kabhi to hansaye, kabhi ye rulaaye
