Jahan Mein Aisa Kaun Hai...

This is a very important song in my life, because working with Dev Saab has been a mile stone for me. During the shoot of my first film ‘Ishq Ishq Ishq’ in Nepal, some of us were sitting around Dev Saab and chatting. He was sharing moments of his past with us; when someone asked, ‘Dev Saab you don’t sing? And pat, another one corrected, ‘he does… but sometime.’
I was pleasantly surprised that in a few minutes of coaxing he started humming and then sang a song by Asha Bhosle, ‘Jahan Mein Aisa Kaun Hai…’, from Hum Dono. This is the sad version of Mohd. Rafi’s famous ‘Abhi Na Jao Chhod Ke’.
It was surprising that Dev Saab chose an Asha Bhosle song in place of Kishore or Rafi. I guess he must be in love with the situation of this song in the film, which is so very ironic and yet brimming with emotions of love, friendship and hope.
Dev Saab sang it easily and fluently with total control in his voice.

DUKH AUR SUKH KE RASTE, BANEY HAIN SABKE VASATEY
JO GHAM SE HAAR JAOGE, TO KIS TARAH NIBHAOGE
KHUSHI MILEY HUMEIN KI GHAM
JO HOGA BAANT LENGE HUM
MUJHE TUM AZMAO TO, ZARA NAZAR MILAO TO...ZARA NAZAR...
YE JISM DO SAHI MAGAR,
DILON MEIN PHASLA NAHIN
JAHAN MEIN AISA KAUN HAI, KI JISKO GHAM MILA NAHIN
TUMHARE PYAR KI KASAM, TUMHARA GHAM HAI MERA GHAM
NA YOON BUJHE BUJHE RAHO
JO DIL KI BAAT HAI KAHO
JO MUJHSE BHI CHHUPAOGE. JO MUJHSE...
TO PHIR KISEY BATAOGE
MAIN KOI GAIR TO NAHIN
DILAOON KIS TARAH YAQEEN. DILAOON KIS...
KI TUMSE MAIN JUDA NAHIN, MUJHSE TUM JUDA NAHIN.
TUMSE MAIN JUDA NAHIN, MUJHSE TUM JUDA NAHIN...TUMSE MAIN...

Very true jahan Mein Aissa Kuan hai ki jisko gham mila nahin, but i prefer the other song of Hum Dono, which I hum when I sink low, and the sorrows engulf me in a tight clutch, making me claustrophobic. and then I say to myself....

Main zindagi ka saath nibha ta chala gaya....the stanzas are more meaningful, though.

thanks
Cheers
