I have mentioned it earlier that S D Burman tended to have one philosophical song in his movies at the start. Credits would appear on the screen accompanied by the voice of S D Burman singing a song that would set the tone for the movie. This was the case in “Guide”, as well as “Amar Prem”.
There was a movie released just after Amar Prem, which also had a song like this. Unlike the above mentioned movies, this movie “Zindagi Zindagi” was not successful. And I am very disappointed with this fact. I have heard laments that most Bollywood movies are hackneyed. But when some good off beat movies are produced, the audience do not have the maturity to appreciate them.
To my mind, “Zindagi Zindagi” was a supeb movie. It was just that this movie ( like Mera Naam Joker and a few such movies) were ahead of their time in a country that was yet to mature to appreciate good movies with off beat themes.
Tapan Sinha, later acknowledged as a class movie maker was the producer of this movie. The songs of this movie are very difficult to come by these days. The only thing that many people know this movie for is becuase of S D Burman’s wonderful songs sung by himself. This movie, for a change had not one but two S D Burman songs, and both have since become immortal.
Here is the song that plays at the beginning of the movie, and as usual with movies with S D Burman’s music direction, prepares the audience for what lies ahead in store in the movie.
A very beautifully sung song that was equally beautifully written by Anand Bakshi, this song is a precious gem.

Song- Zindagi ae zindagi (Zindagi zindagi) (1972) Singer-S D Burman, Lyrics- Anand Bakshi, MD- S D Burman
Lyrics
zindagi ai zindagi – zindagi, tere hain do roop
zindagi ai zindagi – zindagi, tere hain do roop
beeti huyi raaton ki baaton ki tu chhaayaa
chhaayaa wo jo banegi dhoop
kabhi teri kirnen thi Thandi Thandi haay re
ab tu hi mere ji mein aag lagaaye
kabhi teri kirnen thi Thandi Thandi haay re
ab tu hi mere ji mein aag lagaaye
chaandni ai chaandni – chaandani, tere hain do roop
Toote huye sapnon ki apnon ki chhaayaa
chhaayaa wo jo banegi dhoop
aate jaate pal kyaa hain samay ke ye jhoole hain
bichhde saathi kabhi yaad aaye kabhi bhoole hain
aate jaate pal kyaa hain samay ke ye jhoole hain
bichhde saathi kabhi yaad aaye kabhi bhoole hain
aadmi ai aadmi – aadmi, tere hain do roop
dukh sukh ke jhoolon ki phoolon ki tu chhaayaa
chhaayaa wo jo banegi dhoop
chhaayaa wo jo banegi dhoop
koyi bhooli huyi baat mujhe yaad aayi hai
khushi bhi tu laayi thi aur aansoo bhi tuu laayi hai
dillagi ai dillagi – dillagi, tere hain do roop
kaise kaise waadon ki yaadon ki tu chhaayaa
chhaayaa wo jo banegi dhoop

ज़िन्दगी ए ज़िन्दगी तेरे हैं दो रूप ज़िन्दगी ए ज़िन्दगी तेरे हैं दो रूप
बीतीं हुई रातों की बातों की तू छाया,
छाया वो जो बनेगी धुप.
कभी तेरी किरणे थी ठंढी ठंढी हाय रे,
अब तू ही मेरे जी में आग लगाये रे
चांदनी यह चांदनी , तेरे हैं दो रूप
टूटे हुए सपने की अपनों की छाया
छाया वोह जो बन गयी धुप
आते जाते पल क्या हैं समय के ये झूले हैं
बिछड़े साथी कभी याद आये कभी भूले हैं
आदमी ये आदमी .. तेरे हैं दो रूप
दुख सुख के झूलों की फूलों की तू छाया
छाया वोह जो बन गयी धुप
कोई भूली हुई बात मुझे याद आई है,
ख़ुशी भी तू लायी थी और आंसूं भी तू लायी है.
दिल्लगी यह दिल्लगी, दिल्लगी तेरे हैं दो रूप
कैसे कैसे वादों की यादों की तू छाया
छाया वोह जो बन गयी धुप

Thanks for the lyrics and the comments. I recently discovered this song and have fallen in love with it. S.D. Burman was among the most talented musicians of his time.
