jeena issi ka naam hai

tn tanan tanan... tn tanan tanan.....tn tanan tn tn tanan tn tn tanan tanan...... Kissi ki muskuraahaton pe ho nisaar, kissi ka dard mil sake to le udhaar , kissi ke waaste ho tere dil mein pyaaar jeena issi ka naam hai...... tn tanan tanan... tn tanan tanan.....tn tanan tn tn tanan tn tn tanan tanan......
and so goes one of my long time fav songs.... i remember once in college we were about to sleep around 2 or 3 and this song played on a (newly changed to 24 hrs) radio channel and the two of us (i.e. jain and me) jumped up and started dancing around.... the lyrics are so beautiful and so is the music... i just love the song... but i used to like the song more for the Lyrics than the music...
but yesterday i think the mood was a bit too good (i love it when i am in this particular mood... the look at everything from an almost 'çynical'angle mood) when this song played in my mind...
the phrase kissi ka dard mil sake to le udhaar just stuck....
as in am i taking 'kissi ka dard udhar' because i think that person incapable of handling his own dard? what one should rather be doing (obviously as a freind) is help that person take care of his 'dard'.... you think yourself to be that 'God' like and him to be that menial?
imagine a situation; there is this one ''kissi'' whose dard you always take ''udhar'' .... this poor person is devoid of one full emotion!! How sad is that!!!
and then "kisi ki muskuraahaton pe ho nisaar" sacrifice yourself if that will make someone else smile? or sth to that extent... Boss my life is not that meaningless!!!
I had a good laugh over it myself yesterday when i thought about it.... how weird and meaningless this whole part of the song was....
all said and done... i still love the song... and the lyrics:
Kissi ki muskuraahaton pe ho nisaar
kissi ka dard mil sake to le udhaar
kisi ke waaste ho tere dil mein pyaar
jeena issi ka naam hai

maana apni jaeb se fakir hain
fir bhi yaaro dil ke hum ameer hain
mite jo pyaar ke liye woh zindagi
jale bahaar ke liye woh zindagi
kissi ko ho naa ho hamein hai aitbaar
jeena issi ka naam hai

rishta dil se dil ke aitbaar kaa
zinda hai ham-hi se naam pyaar kaa
ke marke bhi kisi ko yaad aaenge
kissi ke aansuon mein muskuraaenge
kahega phool har kali se baar baar
jeena issi ka naam hai......

The whole picture of two people getting up to dance at a song is ... exhilarating ! i got happy just imagining it!

and i think those two lines are not meaningless .... rather i think the third line justifies the two lines ...
kisi ke waaste ho tere dil mein pyaar.... perhaps thats what love is all about !

Your wish is my command!! will do it (sometime ;-) )

yeah i know they are not meaningless... and i wasnt debating teh beauty either... but when i thought about the faaltuness of those lines, i smiled to myself... almost 25 years of listening to that song and i ahd never ever thought about this meaning!
how biased!
