Harihar Jethalal Jariwala (Sanjeev Kumar) 

Those of us who have seen Sanjeev Kumar movies would find it hard to believe that he was only 47 years old when he passed away on 6th November 1985. He was born with a  congenital heart condition and had his first heart attack before he turned 40.

He was a versatile actor- he could fit into all kinds of roles. 

This song is from Uljhan (1975). Well, the words do sum up his life- he had remained unmarried and was one of the actors who had (unsuccessfully) proposed to Hema Malini. 

Uljhan had Sulakshana Pandit playing the female lead role. The two did have a relationship, but perhaps knowing that his life is short, Sanjeev Kumar did not marry her.

This song has two versions, one by Kishore Kumar and one by Lata Mangeshkar.  Lyrics are by M G Hashmat and music is by Kalyanji Anandji. The film also had a nice song by Lata Mangeshkar,Subah Aur Shaam, Kaam Hi Kaam.





अपने जीवन की उलझन को कैसे मैं सुलझाऊँ 
अपनों ने जो दर्द दिए हैं कैसे मैं बतलाऊँ

प्यार के वादे हो गए झूठे ( वफ़ा के बंधन टूटे ) 
बनके जीवन-साथी कोई ( चैन मेरा क्यों लूटे ) 
ऐसे जीवन-साथी से मैं कैसे साथ निभाऊँ
अपने जीवन की ...

कैसे-कैसे भेद छुपाएँ ( हाथों की रेखाएँ ) 
कोई ना जाने इस जीवन को ( ये किस ओर ले जाएँ ) 
पढ़ ना पाऊँ लेख विधि का पल-पल मैं घबराऊँ
अपने जीवन की ...

दिल में ऐसा दर्द छुपा है ( मुझसे सहा ना जाए ) 
कहना तो चाहूँ अपनों से मैं ( फिर भी कहा ना जाए ) 

अपने जीवन की ...
