Luti zindagi aur gham muskuraaye
Posted on: July 14, 2009
When I was young, I preferred the music of new movies rather than old movies, and it always annoyed me that there were several movies released in 1970s which had the same names as movies of earlier decades. Thus we had movies like “Andaaz”, “Anpadh”,”Parvarish” etc released in 1970s which had same names as movies of 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. On Vividh Bharati, when I heard the name of these movies , I half expected to hear a song from the newer movie, but I invariably got to hera a song from the older movie.
And how things have changed now ! I actually love the songs from the older movies with the same name. The songs of older “Parvarish” (1958) have grown on me, whereas the songs of newer “Parvarish” (Amitabh, Vinod Khanna starrer) have faded from memory.
Here is a song sung by Lata from the older “Parvarish”. It is picturised on Mala Sinha. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist and Dattaram is the music director.
It is a great sad song, the kind that I could not stand listening to in my younger days, but now I simply love to listen to such songs.
And let me assure you that listening to sad songs does make one a sad person. 😉
It is the ability to convey sadness so emphatically and causing a mood change in the listener that makes this song worth listening to.

Song-Luti zindagi aur gham muskuraaye (Parvarish) (1958) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Hasrat Jaipuri, MD-Dattaram
Lyrics
jahaan waale tere ghar charaag jalte hain
hamare dil me magar dil ke daagh jalte hain
luti zindagi aur gham muskuraaye
tere is jahaan se ham baaz aaye
luti zindagi aur gham muskuraaye
tere is jahaan se ham baaz aaye
luti zindagi
gale hamse milkar khushi ro rahi hai
gale hamse milkar khushi ro rahi hai
chaman hans raha hai kali ro rahi hai
chaman hans raha hai kali ro rahi hai
haay
dhali ek pal me bahaaron ke saaye
tere is jahaan se ham baaz aaye
luti zindagi
giri bijliyaan ghar banaane se pahle
giri bijliyaan ghar banaane se pahle
jalaa aashiyaana sajaane se se pahle
jalaa aashiyaana sajaane se se pahle
haay
ajab hai zamaana banaa kar mitaaye
tere is jahaan se ham baaz aaye
luti zindagi aur gham muskuraaye
tere is jahaan se ham baaz aaye
luti zindagi
