Magic in Tunes – Hey Zindagi Mil Ke Bitayenge

For all songs in this series, go here

For mixed mood songs, go here.

This song is from the 1982 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film Satte Pe Satta (= Seven on Seven). The story of the film was adapted from the American film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), which is based on the short story “The Sobbin’ Women” by Stephen Vincent Benét, which was based in turn on the ancient Roman legend of the Rape of the Sabine women. I posted a couple of songs from this film before. Here is another one from the same movie.

Music was composed by R. D. Burman to the Lyrics penned by Gulshan Bhawra. Again this song is in different moods – one sad and one happy.

Here is the Happy Version Sung by Kishore Kumar, Bhupinder Singh, Sapan Chakraborty and R. D. Burman.

And here is the Sad Version Sung by Kishore Kumar.

Lyrics transliterated for the happy version:

Hey Zindagi Mil Ke Bitayenge; Haal-E-Dil Gaa Ke Sunayenge

Hum Toh Saat Rang Hai; Yeh Jahan Rangeen Banayenge

Zindagi Mil Ke Bitayenge; Haal-E-Dil Gaa Ke Sunayenge

Hum Toh Saat Rang Hai; Yeh Jahan Rangeen Banayenge

Sargam Hum Se Bane; Naghme Hum Se Jawan

Jhoome Aasman

Hum Hi Toh Duniya Ke Saat Ajoobe Hai; Hum Se Hai Jahan

Sargam Hum Se Bane; Naghme Hum Se Jawan

Jhoome Aasman

Arrey Hum Hi Toh Duniya Ke Saat Ajoobe Hai

Hum Se Hai Jahan; Duat Duat Duat Duat Duat Duat Hey

Zindagi Mil Ke Bitayenge; Haal-E-Dil Gaa Ke Sunayenge

Hum Toh Saat Rang Hai; Yeh Jahan Rangeen Banayenge

Khushiyan Baatenge Hum; Har Gham Mil Ke Sahe

Phir Kyun Aansoo Bahe

Arre Ban Ke Sahara; Ek Duje Ka Yunhi Chalte Rahe

Khushiyan Baatenge Hum; Har Gham Mil Ke Sahe

Phir Kyun Aansoo Bahe

Ban Ke Sahara Ek Duje Ka Yunhi Chalte Rahe

Duat Duat Duat Duat Duat Duat Hoye

Zindagi Mil Ke Bitayenge; Haal-E-Dil Gaa Ke Sunayenge

Hum Toh Saat Rang Hai; Yeh Jahan Rangeen Banayenge

Hey Hey Zindagi Mil Ke Bitayenge; Haal-E-Dil Gaa Ke Sunayenge

Hum Toh Saat Rang Hai; Yeh Jahan Rangeen Banayenge
