'Mai zindegi ka saath nibhaata chala gayaa' - A song from the Hindi film 'Hum Dono' (1961)






As I have mentioned in my last post that I have some philosoph\ical songs to share :), here is the second song in that series. 'Hum Dono' (1961) has wonderful music!! All the songs are capable to make us 'Feel' the words in our heart. This song, which comes when Dev Anand has joined the Army, portrays his mental state in that situation. In the previous scene, he faced the rejection from the father of his beloved (Sadhna),  then he decided to serve the nation and take life as it comes. 



Here is the lyrics :


Main Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhaata Chala Gayaa
Har Fikr Ko Dhuen Me Udaata Chala Gayaa

Har Fikr Ko Dhuen Me Udaa...



Barbaadiyon Ka Shok Manaana Fizul Tha
Manaana Fizul Tha...
Barbaadiyon Ka Jashn Manaata Chala Gayaa

Har Fikr Ko Dhuen Me Udaa...



Jo Mil Gaya Ussi Ko Muqaddar Samajh Liya
Muqaddar Samajh Liya 
Jo Kho Gaya Main Usko Bhulaata Chala Gayaa 

Har Fikr Ko Dhuen Me Udaa...



Gham Aur Khushi Me Farq Na Mehsoos Ho Jahaan 
Na Mehsoos Ho Jahaan 
Main Dil Ko Us Muqaam Pe Laata Chala Gaya


Main Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhaata Chala Gayaa
Har Fikr Ko Dhuen Mein Udaata Chala Gayaa.



(lyrics available on internet)



The way it is said that 'Gham Aur Khushi Me Farq Na Mehsoos Ho Jahaan / Main Dil Ko Us Muqaam Pe Laata Chala Gaya'-- truly a a state of 'Sthitapragnya' (Wise person)! When you feel 'Equal' in sadness and happiness!! Attaining that state!!


Another beautiful exprerssion- 'Jo Mil Gaya Ussi Ko Muqaddar Samajh Liya/ Jo Kho Gaya Main Usko Bhulaata Chala Gaya'- Contentment ('Santosh') is such a great virtue! So important in our life!! To Accept what one has got and not to crave/ lament for something lost. This is the proper way to lead a meaningful life. 

Learning from life, giving it proper value and then moving ahead.... Living each moment 'Being Aware', and still, being 'Free'....


All these elements make the song such a favourite of mine!!


With Best Wishes for all,


Jai Shri Krishna!
