Zindagi Ka Safar, yeh Kaisa Safar - Another Philosophical Melody

Well, what the Hell, its been a while..right?
got real busy at work and then ...went tumblr-ing a bit and still doing (check my tumblr blog at Azrael's Ramblings

well coming to this blog, following the last post on a philosophical song, i have decided to put up more songs and translations...on Philosophical songs..lol
(i actually wrote this up and out it as a draft, but never got the time to publish it in the blog)

The next Philosophical Melody for me is..... "Zindagi Ka Safar Hai Ye Kaisa Safar" from the movie "Safar". This song was sung by my all-time favourite singer ..the legendary Kishore Kumar



here is the lyrics in Hindi font (courtesy www.geetmanjusha.com)

गीतकार- इंदिवर
गायक- किशोर कुमार
संगीतकार- कल्याणजी आनंदजी
चित्रपट- सफर - 1970

Lyricist- Indeevar
Singer- Kishor Kumar
Music Director- Kalyanji Anandji
Movie- Safar - 1970

जिंदगी का सफर, है ये कैसा सफर / Jindagi ka safar, hai ye kaisa safar


जिन्दगी का सफ़र, हैं ये कैसा सफ़र
कोई समझा नहीं, कोई जाना नहीं

है ये कैसी डगर, चलते हैं सब मगर
कोई समझा नहीं, कोई जाना नहीं

जिन्दगी को बहोत प्यार हम ने किया
मौत से भी मोहब्बत निभायेंगे हम
रोते रोते जमाने में आये मगर
हंसते हंसते जमाने से जायेंगे हम
जायेंगे पर किधर , हैं किसे ये खबर
कोई समझा नहीं, कोई जाना नहीं

ऐसे जीवन भी हैं जो जिए ही नहीं
जिनको जीने से पहले ही मौत आ गयी
फूल ऐसे भी हैं जो खिले ही नहीं
जिनको खिलने से पहले खिजा खा गयी
है परेशान नजर, थक गए चार अगर
कोई समझा नहीं, कोई जाना नहीं


And here is the translation in English, which I managed to edit from a lot of other translations (just one single translation in itself could do justice to this song, so I have tried to compile and edit the many translations I found on the net)

Life is a Journey,
Which No one could understand; Which No one could comprehend

Here’s lays a path that everyone must walk through
No one understands it; No knows it

I’ve loved this life to the fullest
When death comes, that too I will embrace
so what if we came to this world crying
we will depart the world laughing
When its time to go, who knows where we will go
No one could understand, No one could comprehend

There is such a life that has not even been lived
Those who have died even before living a life
There have been such flowers that have never blossomed
Those that have been killed by the climate before blooming
The eyes are worried, the world is tired)
No one could understand, No one could comprehend.



Ciao

Youth - A Poem by Samuel Ullman - The Most Motivational Poem I have Ever Come Across

I dont know when i came across this Poem. I think it was in one of those old Reader's Digests. This Poem has remained in my conscious and sub conscious mind for all the time. When ever i felt lost or felt let down or felt burnt out, i would recall the lines of the Poem and Life began fresh again for me. Before the poem, let me say a few words about Samuel Ullman - Samuel Ullman was a former confedate soldier, businessman, a very religious man and a poet too. At the age of 78 he wrote his most popular and motivating poem "Youth" - An optimistic Celebration of Youth. He wrote: "Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals." With a wave of optimism, the poem became a favorite of General Douglas MacArthur who framed and hung Ullman's words in his offices in Manila and Tokyo. "Whether seventy or sixteen, there is in every being’s heart a love of wonder" Ullman said. Youth was published in the Japanese v...

Love on the Chook Chook (A Tragi-Comedic Experience)

Ernakulam Railway Station, morning 7.30 a.m. I had just landed along with Kissy, A college Mate on another Train! "Hey Rosh! Where is Vipin, Man? He had promised to be here!!" "No Idea Bhai. Let us wait. There's Plenty of Time for the Express" [Since this is a story...names have been changed...Kissy will remain Kissy...no real names given. So, No Fear!] We deposited our luggage in a heap near a bench and sat down to wait for the other college mates to come. We were the students of Regional Engineering College, Durgapur, West Bengal. Kerala had a quota of 6 seats including reservation in REC Durgapur. It was our Summer Vacations and we had all gone home to enjoy and were returning back to College. "Yaar. No Charakks here Man!!" ["Charakk"....in Malaylam means "Goods"...Same as in "Maal" in Hindi] "Saaley...!! There is nothing but charakks in your mind. Remember our picnic to the barrage where you called a couple of aun...
