Of the various kinds of songs that Kishore has sung, my favorite are the
ones about "life". He has dealt with various points of views about life-
life as a mystery, life as a joyful experience, life as a cruel joke,
life as a journey,... Here are some such songs. Can anyone add more to this
list?

1] Zindagi kaisi hai paheli hai.... (anand)
Kabhi Ye hasaye, Kabhi ye rulaye

2] Zindagi ka safar hai ye kaisa safar .......(Safar)
Koi samjha nahi koi jana nahi

3] Zindagi ek safar hai suhana....
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jana

4] Ye jeevan hai, is jeevan ka (yehi hai)-3 rang roop....
Thore gam hain, thori khushiyan (yehi hai)-3 chaon dhoop

5] Ik rasta hai zindagi jo tham gaye to kuch nahi...(Kala Pathar)
Ye kadam kisi mukam pe jo jam gaye to kuch nahi

6] Jeena kya aji pyar bina, jeevan ke yahi chaar dina...
Rupey paisey bina chal jaye magar, zindagi na chaley yaar bina

(Is [6] sung by Kishore? Which film?)

7] Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya... (kora kagaz)
Jo likha tha ansuon ke sang beh gaya...

All of these songs carry different messages - some of hope, some of
pain, some of indifference... Which one of these do you think (if any)
gives a good definition of life ? Do you remember any other songs
that define life?

Does anyone know the music directors of the above songs?

How about "Zindagi ke rang kai re.." by Asha ? I would love to
know which movie this song is from.
Another favourite of mine is "Kisi ki muskurahaton pe ho nissar.."
from Anari.
Is it just me, or do others also feel that there hasn't been any
such song recently (in the past 5-6 years) ?

This one is a duet by Kishore and Asha from the film "Dhan Daulat", music by
R. D. Burman. I could be wrong about this one.

|> 7] Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya... (kora kagaz)

Film: Kora Kagaz, Music Director: Kalyanji-Anandji

How about
"Zindagi ke safar me guzar jaate hain jo makaam,
Woh phir nahi aate, woh phir nahi aate"
The film is "Aap ki Kasam", music by R.D. Burman.

and

"Jeevan ke safar me raahi, milte haiN bichad jaane ko
Aur de jaate hain yaadein, tanhaai me tadpaane ko"
The film is "Munimji", music by Shankar-Jaikishen

I'm sorry to disappoint you Jasjit (Jazzgeet if you prefer)
but this song is sung by Manna Dey and not KK.


However, here are a few more, by KK.

Zindagi ke safar mein gujar jaate hai woh makam(?)
Woh phir nahi aate hai, woh phir nahi aate (Film Daag, R.Khanna,
Mumtaj and Sajeev K)

Jeevan ke safar mein rahi, milate hai bichhad jane ko
aur rah jaatee hai yade, tanhaee mein tadapane ko

Another song of this type -

8] Jeevan se na haar o jeenevaale, Baat meri too maan arre matvaale

I think this is Kishore Kumar and Chorus. Does anyone know which film
this song is from ?

How about looking at songs from the same movie that talk about different
views of life ? Examples would be

1)Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah-o-shaam
and
Ik pyaar ka naghma hai, maujon ki ravani hai..
(Shor)
2)Khaali pyala, soona darpan, khaali-khaali man..
and
Pyaala chalka, ujala darpan
(Sparsh)

Any more ?

Sorry, that should be Kalyanji-Anandji. The Sapan-Jagmohan song I had
in mind was: Mera jeevan kucch kaam na aaya jaise sukhey ped ki chhaya.

It is from a Kishore film. Either Door Gagan ki Cha'on Mein or Door ka
Rahi. Could we have the lyrics of this one??

Song 1 was sung by Manna Dey. Here are the respective music directors:

1. Salil Choudhary
2. Kalyanji-Anandji
3. Shankar Jaikishen
4. Laxmikant-Pyarelal
5. Rajesh Roshan
6. R.D. Burman
7. Kalyanji-Anandji

Not sure of the movie of song 6 (is it Abdullah ?? ).

Some more such songs with this theme are:

1. Zindagi kya hai, gam ka dariya hai: "Pyar kiya to darna kya", Ravi.
2. Zindagi pyar ka geet hai ise har .: "Souten", Usha-Khanna
3. Zindagi ke safar mein guzar jaate : "Aap ki kasam", R.D.Burman

The list is endless.

Hi folks,

Changing the subject slightly, there was a compilation of Kishore
Kumar songs in a serious vein mostly from the late 70's and the 80's
containing songs like "Rim-Zhim gire sawaan" ( movie ? Amitabh/Moushumi),
"Zindagi Ke Safar Mein Guzhar Jate Hain ..." ( Aap Ki Kasam ) and
"Aane wala Pal jaane wala hain" (Gol Maal).
Anyone remember the name of the album ? It used to be very popular
in our hostel. It would be nice if it were still in print and available.
If I remember right, many of them were scored by R.D. Burman and
non-classical ( Indian classical that is ) based.

I have just one stanza of the song in memory.Here goes...

Jeevan se na haar jeene wale
Baat meri tu maan arre matwale
har gham ko tu apana kar
har dukh ka dard chupa kar
badta chal,tu lehera kar
tu duniya ke har dukh ko bisrakar
Jeevan se ..

Sukh dukh hain jeevan ke do painrayen
dhoop suneheri kahin ghanerey saayen
jo sooraj andhiyaaren main khojaayen
wahi laut kar nayan sawera laayen
tu badta...

Not sure of the second stanza.Hope someone completes it.

The chorus goes something like this:

Jhin-na jhin-jhin jhin-na-ra
Jhin-na jhin-jhin jhin-na-ra
saath hai tere upar wala
wahi hai tera rakhwala

jeevan se na haar........

That's all I can recollect right now.
