A Melodious Breather

 

“…Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur

Raah Mein Raahi Ruk Na Jaana Hokar Ke Majboor…”

 

The song felt like a breather when I heard it after a long long time. I heard it last when I was a child and thereafter for few times during the Vividh Bharati era of the All India Radio, while I was still in school. I don’t know if those programmes are still being aired by AIR amidst today’s FM era. The song attracted my fancy at that time for its lovely lively tune and as much for the presence of the two little kids in the picturisation of the song.

 

But I seem to be loving the song many folds more now, not just for the sweet and charismatic voices of two most legendary singers we miss often in the present times – The Great Kishore Kumar and The Legendary Lata Mangeshkar; for the full of life vitality and amazing enthusiasm which the song spreads in the air; the beautiful tune and above all, for the superb lyrics, spreading the great message of life that –

 

Life is a journey amidst thorns and roses,

Through spring, summer, fall and winter;

The destination lies much ahead

And therefore, my friend!

You’ve got to keep moving without withering…

You may rest a while if you’re tired

But you’ve got to keep moving

Keep moving…

Not backward, Only forward

 

 

I wished and tried to insert the audio here but failed to do so. (Need to tread a lot as regards my skills in web technology L ) The link to the page where the song can be played is this:

Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur

Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur

Raah Mein Raahi Ruk Na Jaana Hokar Ke Majboor

Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur

 

 

Yeh Hamari Zindagi Ek Lamba Safar Hi To Hai

Chalte Hai Jispe Hum Anjani Dagar Hi To Hai

Dekh Sambhalna

Bachke Nikalna

Jo Nahi Chalte Dekhke Aage Thokar Se Hai Choor

Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur

 

 

Karun Kya Main Pyare Bhai Thak Jaaye Agar Mere Paon

Dam Leke Do Ghari Chala Chal Ban Mile Chahe Gaon

Jo Koi Soya

Usne Hi Khoya

Baat Hamari Yaad Hamesha Rakhna Tu Zaroor

Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur

 

 

Tujhe Pyar Bhi Mile Path Me To Samajhna Yahi

Ye Hai Raaste Ki Chaon Saathi Teri Manjil Nahin

Tera To Apna

Aur Hai Sapna

Apne Hi Sapno Ki Manzil Se Na Rah Jaana Door

Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur

 

 

Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur

Raah Mein Raahi Ruk Na Jaana Hokar Ke Majboor

Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur
