Dichotomy of Life- expressed by common chord, but different verses...

 

Sharing two songs from an old Hindi movie, which are composed on the same tune, yet the lyrics are divergent, with one full of pessimism, while the other one reels of optimism...Interestingly, I only remember knowing of the first version (the sad one), in my childhood when I used to hear it on cassette player, but after several years, I discovered that the same song was existing with its counterpart, the antithesis, so-to-speak. I wonder how it is so much like life, where sometimes, we are dealt with a melody or a tune which is unchangeable, but we do have the power to choose the verses or the words that create the lyrics to fit that tune...One of them resonates with sorrow while the other is a harbinger of light and hope....as Munshi Premchand has said "what the world calls sorrow is really joy to the poet"..Truly, sorrow is necessary as it can be beautiful, but the same sorrow also becomes beautiful hope when played on the same tune by different choice of words...


1. Naaraz Savera Hai [Full Song] Sangharsh

The lyrics of it are:

"naaraz savera hai, har or andhera hai
koi kiran to aae, kahi se, aae aae
naaraz savera hai

zindagi tanhaiyo ka, dard hai nam hai
har khushi dhalati hui, dukh bhari sham hai
sanso ke khazano ka, ye waqt lutera hai

koi kiran to aae, kahi se aae aae
naaraz savera hai

raat ki khamoshiyo me, ansuna shor hai
kheechti baandhe bina hi, kaun si ye dor hai
bejaan salakho ne, meri ruh ko ghera hai

koi kiran to aae, kahi se aae aae
naaraz savera hai

vo mere bachpan ka, mausam vo zamana kho gaya
maut ke saaye me reh ke, bezuban mai ho gaya
zakhmo ki zameeno pe, zulmon ka basera hai

koi kiran to aae, kahi se aae aae
naaraz savera hai, har or andhera hai"

 

The version of the song filled with hope is:

2. Nazdeek Savera Hai Song - Sangharsh 1999 DVDRip @DolbyDigital5.1

The lyrics of it are:

"nazdik savera hai, pal bhar ka andhera hai
mere liye na ashq bahao, jao jao,
de raha mujhko sadaye wo khula aasma
le rahi meri balaye wo hansi wadiya
tum lao ujalo ko sapna yahi mera hai
din hai khushi ke geet milan ke gao gao
nazdik savera hai, pal bhar ka andhera hai
mere liye na ashq bahao jao jao, nazdik sawera hai"
