This song is from the 1980 Indian Hindi-language drama film Aasha (= Hope and also name of a person). Music was composed Laxmikant Pyarelal (duo of music directors) while the Lyrics were penned by Anand Bakshi. It was Sung by Lata Mangeshkar. It was pictured on the famous heroine Reena Roy while Talluri Rameswari and Jeetendra are seen in the audience. Since it was directed by J. Om Prakash, he included his grand-son Hrithik Roshan (Famous actor now) in his debut role as a child artiste in the film. This song secured 4th position in Binaca Geetmala (a Radio program of top 10 songs of that week) in 1980.
It was remade in Telugu as Anuraga Devatha in 1982 and in Tamil as Sumangali in 1983. This song is the last closes the movie. Reena Roy, the lead actress in the film, was a guest in the TVs reality show involving singers in that particular episode where this song was sung again. I used to watch this song always on DD2 in India when it had just started in 1990s.
The words below grabbed me a lot on this song, and has remained one of my favorite songs. The lines in Hindi and the translation has been given below.
Koi Lut Jaata Hai Koi, Loot Jata Hai
Some Get Ruined While, Some Will Ruin The Others
Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Hai Aakhir, Toot Jata Hai
Whether It’s A Mirror Or The Heart, In The End It Shatters
Lyrics transliterated:
Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho
Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho Aakhir, Toot Jaata Hai
Toot Jaata Hai, Toot Jaata Hai
Lab Tak Aate Aate Haathon Se Sagar, Choot Jaata Hai
Choot Jaata Hai, Choot Jaata Hai
Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho Aakhir, Toot Jaata Hai
Kaafi Bas Armaan Nahin, Kuch Milna Aasaan Nahin
Duniya Ki Majboori Hai, Phir Taqdeer Zaroori Hai
Yeh Jo Dushman Hai Aise, Donon Raazi Ho Kaise
Ek Ko Manao To Duja, Rooth Jaata Hai
Rooth Jaata Hai, Rooth Jaata Hai
Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho Aakhir, Toot Jaata Hai
Baithe The Kinare Pe, Maujon Ke Ishare Pe
Baithe The Kinare Pe, Maujon Ke Ishare Pe
Ham Khelein Toofanon Se, Is Dil Ke Armaanon Se
Hamko Yeh Maloom Na Tha, Koi Saath Nahin Deta
Koi Saath Nahin Deta
Maajhi Chod Jaata Hai Saahil, Choot Jaata Hai
Choot Jaata Hai, Choot Jaata Hai
Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho Aakhir, Toot Jaata Hai
Toot Jaata Hai, Toot Jaata Hai, Toot Jaata Hai, Toot Jaata Hai
Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho
Duniya Ek Tamasha Hai, Aasha Aur Nirasha Hai
Thode Phool Hai Kaante Hai, Jo Taqdeer Ne Baante Hain
Apna Apna Hissa Hai, Apna Apna Kissa Hai
Koi Lut Jaata Hai Koi, Loot Jaata Hai
Loot Jaata Hai, Loot Jaata Hai
Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho Aakhir, Toot Jaata Hai
Toot Jaata Hai, Toot Jaata Hai
Lab Tak Aate Aate Haathon Se Sagar, Choot Jaata Hai
Choot Jaata Hai, Choot Jaata Hai
Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho
Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho Aakhir, Toot Jaata Hai
Toot Jaata Hai, Toot Jaata Hai
