Jeevan chalne ka naam

Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Ke rasta kat jaayega mitra, ke baadal chat jaayega mitra
Ke dukh se jhukna na mitra, ke ik pal rukna na mitra

Hoy jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Ke rasta kat jaayega mitra, ke baadal chat jaayega mitra
Ke dukh se jhukna na mitra, ke ik pal rukna na mitra
Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam

Jo jeevan se haar maanta uski ho gayi chhutti
Naak chadhaakar kahe zindagi teri meri ho gayi kutti
Hoy jo jeevan se haar maanta uska ho gaya chhutti
Naak chadhaakar kahe zindagi tera mera ho gayi kutti
Ke rootha yaar mana mitra, ke yaar ko yaar bana mitra
Na khud se rahe khafa mitra, khudi se bane khuda mitra

Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam

Oooo
Ujli ujli bhor sunaati tutley tutley bol
Ujli ujli bhor sunaati tutley tutley bol
Andhkaar me suraj baitha apni gathri khol
Ke usse aankh lada mitra, samay se haath mila mitra
Ke ho ja kiran kiran mitra, ke chalta rahe charan mitra

Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam

Ke chali shaam ke rang mahal mein tapti huyi dupahri
Mili gagan se saanjh ki laali
Mili gagan se saanjh ki laali lekar roop sunahri
Ke raat bikhar jaayegi mitra, ke baat nikhar jaayegi mitra
Ke sooraj chadh jaayega mitra, qaafila badh jaayega mitra

Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam

Himmat apna deen dharam hai, himmat hai imaan
Himmat allah, himmat waaheguru, himmat hai bhagwaan
Oho himmat apna deen dharam hai, himmat hai imaan
Himmat allah, himmat waaheguru, himmat hai bhagwaan
Ke ispe marta ja mitra, ke sajda karta ja mitra
Ke sheesh jhukata chal mitra, ke jag par chhata ja mitra

Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Ke rasta kat jaayega mitra, ke baadal chat jaayega mitra
Ke dukh se jhukna na mitra, ke ik pal rukna na mitra
Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam
Jeevan chalne ka naam, chalte raho subah o shaam

This is my first post of 2022 here. I have decided to stay away from negativity as much as I can from this year onwards. I am trying to keep my head down and deal with the curveballs life throws my way. I chose this song because the lyrics seemed to mirror this mood. 

Besides, this inspirational song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor, Manna Dey, and Shyama Chittar, the younger sister of Suman Kalyanpur. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity of sharing trivia about the ‘unjaane’ singer! 

Wish you a happy and prosperous 2022. ~ S
