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

yeh dil tum bin kahin lagta nahin

Subtle

One among the many beautiful duets of Mohd. Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar.The beauty of the song lies in  the execution of the song especially when 'tum' is extended  in a musical wave. :)

yeh dil tum bin kahi lagta nahi, hum kya kare -(2)

tassavur me koi basta nahi, hum kya kare

tum hi keh do ab ae jaane wafa hum kya kare

loote dil me diya jalta nahi, hum kya kare

tum hi keh do ab ae jaane ada hum kya kare

yeh dil tum bin kahi lagta nahi, hum kya kare

kisi ke dil me bas ke dil ko tadpana nahi achha -(2)

nigahon ko jhalak de de kar chhup jana nahi achha

ummido ke khile gulshan ko jhulsana nahi achha

hume tum bin koi jachta nahi, hum kya kare

tum hi keh do ab ae jaane wafa hum kya kare

loote dil me diya jalta nahi, hum kya kare

mohabbat kar to le lekin, mohabbat raas aaye bhi -(2)

dilon ko bojh lagte hai kabhi zulfon ke saaye bhi

hazaaro gam hai is dunia me apne bhi paraaye bhi

mohabbat hi ka gam tanhaa nahi, hum kya kare

tum hi keh do ab ae jaane ada hum kya kare

yeh dil tum bin kahi lagta nahi, hum kya kare

bujha do aag dil ki ya ise khulkar hawa de do -(2)

jo iss ka mol de paye, use apni wafa de do

tumhare dil me kya hai bas hume itna pata de do

ki ab tanha safar katt ta nahi, hum kya kare

loote dil me diya jalta nahi, hum kya kare

yeh dil tum bin kahi lagta nahi, hum kya kare

gudiya humse ruthi rahogi

Idyllic

The word defines each moment of the song.The music direction is splendid ,especially because of the tabla in the background. Baby Farida( not Farida Jalal) and Umar Rajoo adds grace to the song with their expressions and needless to say,Lata Mangeshkar kisses each word with her voice.
