Kitne din aankhen tarsenge - Lata

"Into each life some rain must fall," said Longfellow, implying that we all face times of challenge. But in India, rain symbolizes hope and joy and the same phrase implies something opposite - that we all will see good times........

This Lataji masterpiece is for Gopal. Anand Bakshi's lyrics. SD Burman's music.




kitne din aankhen tarsenge
kitne din yun dil tarsenge
ek din to baadal barsenge
aye mere pyaase dil
aaj nahin to kal mehkegi
khwabon ki mehfil.

soone soone se murjhaye se hai kyon ummeedon ke chehre
kaanton ke sar pe hi baandhe jayenge phoolon ke sehre
naya zamana aayega,
naya zamana aayega

zindagi pe sab ka ek sa haq hai sab tasleem karenge
saari khushiyan ssare dard barabar hum taqseem karenge
naya zamana aayega,
naya zamana aayega
