how can one have consciousness of existence
and then continue to live
is this a cloud
or smoke
or is it my own hearth, home
which is on fire
I am too tired
all hopes of escape
to salvation
are extinguished
does one, anyone, know
how to continue living

Kaise koyee jiye, kaise koyee jiye Utha toofanu wo, utha toofan
Aas ke sab bujh gaye diye
Kaise koyee jiye
Baadal hai ya dhuwaan aag lagee kahaan
Jaltaa na ho kahee mera hi aashiyaan
Angare the aansu nahi wo, dil ne jo piye
Kaise koyee jiye
Taare na jaane unchaayi gagan ki
Aankhe na samajhe, gehraayee man ki
Gehrayee man ki
Taare na jane
Pyaase papihe ne aas thee baandhi
Pyaase papihe ne aas thee baandhi
Udd gaye baadal aa gayee aandhi
Gam ne jo cheda, dil ne hasi se
Honth si liye
Kaise koi jiye….

Great, congratulations, very good, dear Hemantha Kumar. I saw the film Badbaan (which was made by every star and singer, director, producer, making their contribution to the film without charge, because the profits it was expected to make were to go to the welfare of the junior-most staff at the studios, who worked on bamboo poles, holding lights, ropes, wires, and risking their lives.) While the voice for this song was lent by Hemant Kumar, the same song was also sung by Geeta Dutt. I saw it in Calcutta's Roxy Theatre (which is, as far as I know, still holding the record for running a film for more than four years: Kismet. At that time it was considered to be a great achievement), and this song made me cry.
Best,
Ramesh Gandhi

My impression only, sans science or reason.
Great capture as they say :)
i will say nothing about the text since that is an eternal refrain in the head.
