yeh jeevan hai

Mellow

And this is Kishore Kumar minus the yodeling, jubilance but with the prominence of  sedateness and appeasement.

Great musical understanding from the the historic duo LP, subtle execution of  a great inspiring truth that is Life.

Lyrics stand out in the entirety of the song.

yeh jeevan hai, is jeevan ka

yahi hai ,yahi hai ,yahi hai rang-roop

yeh jeevan hai, is jeevan ka

yahi hai ,yahi hai ,yahi hai rang-roop

thode gham hain, thodi khushiyaan

yahi hai ,yahi hai ,yahi hai chaon-dhoop

yeh jeevan hai

yeh na socho isme apni haar hai ke jeet hai

yeh na socho isme apni haar hai ke jeet hai

usse apna lo jo bhi jeevan ki reet hai

yeh zidd chhodo, yuh na todo

har pal ek darpan hai

yeh jeevan hai, is jeevan ka

yahi hai ,yahi hai ,yahi hai rang-roop

yeh jeevan hai

dhan se na duniya se, ghar se na dwaar se

dhan se na duniya se, ghar se na dwaar se

saason ki dor bandhi hai, preetam ke pyar se

duniya choote, par na toote, yeh aisa bandhan hai

yeh jeevan hai, is jeevan ka

yahi hai ,yahi hai ,yahi hai rang-roop

thode gham hain, thodi khushiyaan

yahi hai ,yahi hai ,yahi hai chaon-dhoop

yeh jeevan hai
