Yeh meri zindagi ek paagal hawaa

What an upbeat number! but a sad one at that. I couldn't believe my ears when I first listened to it. Completely contradicting music and lyrics, it's a very beautiful song though, with Lataji's lovely voice and Asha Parekh's dancing/acting just add to the beauty. The song just gets stuck in your head after listening to it for a few times.


yeh kaun jaane main kya hoon
sun na chaahte ho
suno
main ek chaand hoon
jis ke maathe pe ek daag hai
mera dil jalta hua chiraag hai

(yeh meri zindagi ek paagal hawaa
aaj idhar kal udhar main kisi ki nahin) (2)
yeh meri zindagi

jeevan meraa jyoti pyaar ki
har dil se mel chaahat ka khel
duniya se pyaar karti
meri mehfil sab ki raahen
chalne mein teer itni shaheer
jaise gagan ki laali
aaj idhar kal udhar main kisi ki nahin
yeh meri zindagi ek paagal hawaa
aaj idhar kal udhar main kisi ki nahin
yeh meri zindagi

meri duniya dhokhe suhaane
waade haseen kaagaz ke phool
khusboo se door hai
hoon to saahil lekin toofaan
manzil na koyi mere khayaal
masti mein choor hai
aaj idhar kal udhar main kisi ki nahin
yeh meri zindagi ek paagal hawaa
aaj idhar kal udhar main kisi ki nahin
yeh meri zindagi

mera yeh dil zakhmon ka gulshan
aahen bharu na shikve karu
main aansoo ke jaam pee loon
gham ko bhulaau khush ho ke gaau
machle jo dard chehra ho zard
deewaani ban ke jee loon
aaj idhar kal udhar main kisi ki nahin
(yeh meri zindagi ek paagal hawaa
aaj idhar kal udhar main kisi ki nahin) (2)
yeh meri zindagi
