Chaahe zindagi se kitna bhi bhaag re
Posted on: August 20, 2010
I was not aware that Raj Kapoor and Meena Kumari worked together and that too at a time when he was known to act mostly opposite Nargis.
Here is a song from this movie called “Sharada” (1957) starring Raj Kapoor and Meena Kumari.
Not only is this movie untypical in having a leading lady other than Nargis And likewise the lyricist and Music director too are not the usual names (Shailendra/Hasrat Jaipuri, and Shankar Jaikishan). Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist and C Ramchandra is the music director.
This song, which is a philosophical song is a background song,which gets played while the lead actors are seen going about their businesses sombrely. The song is sung by Manna Dey.
And I find this song as a superb song to listen to.

Song-Chaahe zindagi se kitnaa bhi bhaag re (Sharada) (1957) Singer-Manna Dey, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-C Ramchandra
Lyrics
ab to ghabraa ke ye kahte hain
ke mar jaayenge
mar ke bhi chain na paayaa to
kidhar jaayenge
chaahe zindagi se kitnaa bhi bhaag re
chaahe zindagi se kitnaa bhi bhaag re
tere dil ki bujhegi naa aag re
tere dil ki bujhegi naa aag re
chaahe zindagi se kitnaa bhi bhaag re
chaahe zindagi se kitnaa bhi bhaag re
mat soch ke tu be-aaraam hai
ye gham bhi khushi kaa ek naam hai
mat soch ke tu be-aaraam hai
yahi dard hai karaar, yahi daag hai singaar
yahi dard hai karaar, yahi daag hai singaar
zaraa hansnaa tu khol zaraa jaag re
zaraa hansnaa tu khol zaraa jaag re
tere dil ki bujhegi naa aag re
chaahe zindagi se kitnaa bhi bhaag re
chaahe zindagi se kitnaa bhi bhaag re
teri justaju to khwaab ki hai daastaan
tu hi raastaa hai aaj tu hi kaaravaan
teri justaju to khwaab ki hai daastaan
ye talaash hai khayaal ek waham kaa hai jaal
ye talaash hai khayaal ek waham kaa hai jaal
jhoothe sapnon ke peechhe naa bhaag re
jhoothe sapnon ke peechhe naa bhaag re
tere dil ki bujhegi naa aag re
tere dil ki bujhegi naa aag re
chaahe zindagi se kitnaa bhi bhaag re
