Best Hindi Songs on Zindagi (Life)

The TV show Rangoli on Doordarshan used to telecast songs on a particular theme. It probably did telecast an episode on Zindagi. So here is my post inspired from that idea. Here are all the Hindi Songs on Zindagi (Life) that I can recollect. Please post more that you like. Some of these songs have some great philosophical ideas on how life is or how to live life.

Main Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhata from Hum Dono is about the lead character singing about how he has lived his life. Great lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi.

Main Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhaata Chala Gaya
Har Fikar Ko Dhuen Mein Udata Chala Gaya

Barbadiyon Ka Shok Manana Fizul Tha
Barbadiyon Ka Jashan Manata Chala Gaya

Jo Mil Gaya Usi Ko Muqaddar Samajh Liya
Jo Kho Gaya Mein Usko Bhulata Chala Gaya

Gham Aur Khushi Mein Farq Na Mehsoos Ho Jahan
Main Dil Ko Us Muqaam Pe Laata Chala Gaya

Zindagi Ek Safar from Andaz is another song with excellent lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri on how there is no certainty to life best exemplified by the following lyrics.

Maut aani hai ayegi ik din
Jaan jaani hai jayegi ik din
Aisi baaton se kya ghabrana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana
Zindagi ek safar hai suhana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana

Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli from Anand another song with excellent lyrics by Yogesh.

Jinhone Sajaye Yaha Mele Sukh Dukh Sang Sang Jhele
Jinhone Sajaye Yaha Mele Sukh Dukh Sang Sang Jhele
Wahi Chunkar Khamoshi Yu Chali Jayey Akele Kaha
Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli Haye
Kabhi Toh Hasaye, Kabhi Yeh Rulaye

————————-

Zindagi Ka Safar from Safar with excellent lyrics by Indeevar on how no one has been able to understand what life is.

Zindagi Ka Safar Hai Ye Kaisa Safar
Koi Samjha Nahin Koi Jaana Nahin
Hai Ye Kaisi Dagar Chalte Hain Sab Magar
Koi Samjha Nahin Koi Jaana Nahin

Zindagi Ko Bahut Pyaar Hamne diya
Maut Se Bhi Mohabbat Nibhaaenge Ham
Rote Rote Zamaane Mein Aaye Magar
Hanste Hanste Zamaane Se Jaaenge Hum
Jaaenge Par Kidhar Hai Kise Ye Khabar
Koi Samjha Nahin Koi Jaana Nahin

Aise Jeevan Bhi Hain Jo Jiye Bhi Nahin
Jinko Jeene Se Pehle Hi Maut Aa Gayi
Phool Aise Bhi Hain Jo Khile Hi Nahin
Jinko Khilne Se Pehle Khizan aa Gai
Hai Pareshaan Nazar Thak Gaye Chaaraagar
Koi Samjha Nahin Koi Jaana Nahin

————————-

Zindagi Ke Safar Mein from Aap Ki Kasam with excellent lyrics by Anand Bakshi on how past can’t be changed and how you can’t get back someone if you lose them.

Zindagi ke safar mein guzar jate hain jo makam,
woh phir nahin aate

kuchh log ek roz jo bichad jate hain
woh hazaron ke aane se milte nahin
umr bhar chahe koi pukara kare unka naam
woh phir nahin aate

————————-

Yeh Jeevan Hai from Piya Ka Ghar by Indeevar which uses the word Jeevan instead of Zindagi about how life is.

Yeh Jeevan Hai, Is Jeevan Ka
Yahi Hai – Yahi Hai – Yahi Hai Rungroop
Thode Ghum Hain, Thodi Khushiyan
Thode Ghum Hain, Thodi Khushiyan
Yahi Hai – Yahi Hai – Yahi Hai Chaon Dhoop
Yeh Jeevan Hai…

————————-

Tere Bina Zindagi Se from Aandhi with excellent lyrics by Gulzar on how life is nothing without the loved one and how there is no scarcity for destinations if one is with the loved one.

Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, to nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi

Tum gar saath ho, manzilo ki kami to nahi

————————-

Zindagi Ki Na Tute Ladi from Kranti with lyrics by Santosh Anand on how a few moments of love is better than a long life.

Zindagi Ki Na Toote Ladi
Pyaar Kar Le Ghadi Do Ghadi

Lambi Lambi Umariya Ko Chhodo
Pyaar Ki Ik Ghadi Hai Badi


————————-

Tu Is Tarah Se Meri Zindagi Mein from Aap To Aise Na The with lyrics by Nida Fazli on how life is complete with the loved one.

Tu Is Tarah Se Meri Zindagi Mein Shameel Hai
Jahan Bhi Jaun Yeh Lagta Hai Teri Mehfil Hai

————————-

Tujhse Naraz Nahin Zindagi from Masoom with excellent lyrics by Gulzar.

Tujhse Naaraaz Nahiin Zindagi
Hairaan Hoon Main
O Hairaan Huun Main
Tere Masum Sawaalon Se Pareshaan Hoon Main
O Pareshaan Hoon Main

        I did not think about any pop songs while making the post. So good that you posted some pop songs.

        Never heard or saw Kitni Haseen Zindagi by Lucky Ali before but liked it a lot.

  6. FS 10 years ago

    Good Choices Sputnik… Most of the songs you have posted are very famous and might be favorites of many. Really, old songs are ageless. We do have good songs now a days but not all age well. Very few do.

    Zindagi Ittefaq Hai from Aadmi aur Insaan

  10. saurabh sharma 10 years ago

    some songs from my side..


    its edgy and decent lyrics..

    Aankhein HAIN, SUKHI SUKHI
    Dil KYON HAIN, RONE KE LIYE

    Bhatakte THEY, BHATAKTE HAIN
    Andhero MAIN, ROSHNI KE LIYE

    though dnt like it much but sometime its on my lips. its by Gulzar. Never thought anything of lyrics.

    used to like it very much.. kind of happy song it was for me in my col days. liked the music and the speed it catches at the end of each para.. Life seemed to be beautiful after listening this song in morning or you have decided something or you have achieved something. Liked the lyrics too but only problem is Javed akhter and SEL get repetitive many times with these kind of songs and movies.. In WUS almost every song is like that.. except iktara, which has been forced written by javed and music directed by amit trivedi, and that was the best song of the movie.

    Kitane Lamahon Ne Mujhako Jaise Hai Hairaan Kiya
    Kitani Baaton Ne Dil Ko Aake Hai Chhu Liya

      Thanks.

      The first stanza of Zindagi Zindagi is good but the later lyrics are not that good.

      “only problem is Javed akhter and SEL get repetitive many times with these kind of songs and movies.. In WUS almost every song is like that.. except iktara, which has been forced written by javed and music directed by amit trivedi, and that was the best song of the movie.”

      Agree.
