ZINDAGI OR JEEVAN SONG #13 – KISE YAAD RAKHUN KISE BHOOL JAAYUN

Zindagi or Jeevan Songs Series

I started this series on my Facebook group Yaad Kiya Dil Ne on 18 Oct 20. Since then, many other members have put up these songs. Here, I shall be giving you one of my own, per day.

I hope you liked my choice for Song #12 – Beqasi hadd se jab guzr jaaye in Zindagi or Jeevan Songs series. Let’s start with Song #13.

Song #13
Koi dil mein hai, Koi hai nazar mein (Kise yaad rakhun, kise bhool jayun?)
Theme-word: Ari zindagi toone ye kya kiya hai?

Notions of Virtue and Reality

Since the advent of mankind, there has been evolution of the notions of Virtue. Of course, we know that in God’s world, the only Absolute is God Himself and all Virtues are Relative (those of you who are not on conveyor belt may like to read through my essay: Absolute Virtue . I also delve in Philosophy in addition to various other subjects such as Humour, Poetry, and a motley of other subjects.

The fact is that our notion of Virtue goads us to accept One Man – One Woman concept as the bedrock of Goodness. However, human beings are human and are sometimes torn between the love for two; finding each one worthy of their devotion.

This is the thought behind this song.

Anuraag – 1956 Movie

(Poster courtesy: cinestaan.com)

This movie was directed by Madhusudan and had two females in the life of the hero: Mukesh: Pratima Devi and Usha Kiran. Both came into his life at times when he needed them and he was torn between their Love.

This song was penned by Kaif Irfani and was composed by Mukesh himself. Hence, as you can make out, this is one song that has Mukesh all the way.

Here are the lyrics for you to understand the situation:

कोई दिल में है और कोई है नज़र में
मोहब्ब्त के सपने मैं किस पे लुटाऊँ
इसी कश्मकश में जिए जा रहा हूँ
किसे याद रखूँ किसे भूल जाऊँ

उधर दिल मोहब्बत में उनको दिया है
इधर फ़र्ज़ का बोझ सर पे लिया है
अरी ज़िन्दगी तूने ये क्या किया है
किसे याद रखूँ किसे भूल जाऊँ

न बस में है मेरे तुम्हे भूल जाना
न बस में है इनको नज़र से गिराना
मेरी बेबसी का बस इतना फ़साना
किसे याद रखूँ किसे भूल जाऊँ

My Own Poetry

Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum?

हम फिर खुद ही खुद से किनारा कर बैठे,
अनजाने में वही गुनाह दोबारा कर बैठे।

कुछ नहीं मिलता हमें यकीनन पता भी है,
जाने क्यूं आज फिर यादों का सहारा कर बैठे।

बार बार वहीं जाता है दिल नज़र ना भी पहुंचे,
फिर उसी गम, उसी बेकसी का नज़ारा कर बैठे।

ज़िन्दगी है, ज़िंदा रहना जरूरी है अपनों के लिए,
फिर क्यूं आज मौत को इशारा कर बैठे।

ख्वाहिशें थी जन्नत मेरी देहलीज़ पे रखेगी कदम,
अब ग़म ए दिल की हकीकत को गवारा कर बैठे।

दौलत ए एहमियत को रखते थे दिल के करीब,
आज उस खुदी को लाचार आवारा कर बैठे।

मिलेंगे तुझे जब खुदा सवाल तो उठेगा दिल में,
उम्र गुज़री जिसे मेरा कहने में, अब क्यूं हमारा कर बैठे।

The Song

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
