Tujhse naraaz nahin zindagi

Tujhse naraaz nahin zindagi
Hairaan hoon main
Ho hairaan hoon main
Tere masoom sawalon se
Pareshaan hoon main
Ho pareshaan hoon main

Tujhse naraaz nahin zindagi
Hairaan hoon main
Ho hairaan hoon main
Tere masoom sawalon se
Pareshaan hoon main
Ho pareshaan hoon main

Jeene ke liye socha hi nahin
Dard sambhalne honge
Jeene ke liye socha hi nahin
Dard sambhalne honge

Muskurayein toh muskurane ke
Karz utaarne honge
Ho muskuraoon kabhi toh lagta hai
Jaise hothon pe karz rakha hai

Ho tujhse naraaz nahin zindagi
Hairaan hoon main
Ho hairaan hoon main

Zindagi tere gham ne humein
Rishte naye samjhaye
Zindagi tere gham ne humein
Rishte naye samjhaye
Mile jo humein dhoop mein mile
Chhanv ke thande saaye

Tujhse naraaz nahin zindagi
Hairaan hoon main
Ho hairaan hoon main

Aaj agar bhar aayi hain
Boondein baras jaayengi
Aaj agar bhar aayi hain
Boondein baras jaayengi
Kal kya pata inke liye
Aankhein taras jaayengi
Ho jaane kab ghum hua kahan khoya
Ek aansu chhupa ke rakha tha

Tujhse naraaz nahin zindagi
Hairaan hoon main
Ho hairaan hoon main

Tere masoom sawalon se
Pareshaan hoon main
Ho pareshaan hoon main
Ho pareshaan hoon main
Ho pareshaan hoon main

Movie: Masoom (1983)
Director: Shekhar Kapur
Singer: Anup Ghoshal
Lyricist: Gulzar
Music Composer: R. D. Burman

When we decided to post songs that reflected our mood, I did not envisage being numb. I don’t know if I am angry or sad or just confused. Hence, this song. 

While Kishore Kumar sang most songs that the Gulzar-R D Burman duo created, this was sung by the Bengali singer Anup Ghoshal. There is a female version of this song by Lata Mangeshkar. However, I chose this because I wanted to highlight Ghoshal.

In a movie with a complex storyline, it represents the confusion of a man, who is caught between his wife and children and another child he fathered. While my mind is not bothered by such weighty concerns, I am feeling a general malaise because of many upsetting events that keep happening around me. 

Hope you, dear readers, are faring better! ~ S
