Duniya ki tu parvah na kar) -(x2)

Muskuraate hue din bitana

Haan zindagi ek safar hai suhana

Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana

(Maut aani hai ayegi ik din

Jaan jaani hai jayegi ik din) -(x2)

Aisi baaton se kya ghabrana

This song lyrics give to message of the transcience of life and the importance of living every moment to its fullest. Life is a beautiful journey. We knows that will happen tomorrow? We enjoyed the life without any tensions because we know that will happen in next day or next time. Life like cycling and we are only  tries to set of the world and not enjoying life. Here song lyrics are very beautiful and give to spirit of the enjoy the every day of life. We not think about the society or other but we will leave the world behind with smile and enjoy life. This life is a beautiful journey.

#Which poem/song of Bob Dylan/Rober frost is relatable with your video. Why?

Here I taken the one poem "Stopping by woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. And i tried to interpret this poem in "Zindagi ek safar Hai Suhana"  song by Kishor Kumar. 

Poem:-

Whose woods these are I think I know.   

His house is in the village though;   

He will not see me stopping here   

To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

My little horse must think it queer   

To stop without a farmhouse near   

Between the woods and frozen lake   

The darkest evening of the year.   

He gives his harness bells a shake   

To ask if there is some mistake.   

The only other sound’s the sweep   

Of easy wind and downy flake.   

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,   

And miles to go before I sleep.

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is a poem written in 1923, and published in 1923 in his New Hampshire volume. This poem reflects the thought of a lone wagon driver pausing at night in his travel to watch snow falling in the woods. The woods, attracted by the deep, dark silence of his surroundings. And i show to the city life and nature life in my video and tries to show the leave life like freely same like nature.  Poet want to enjoy the beauty of nature in that deep dark night but his duties toward his life forced him to move ahead. We see the river in this video and it is also represents to own duties because she not staying in one place. She always way and find your direction and met to ocean. It's give to message to find your direction without any problems.  Here the "Woods" can also suggest distractions and temptation during our journey of life. Up down in life but enjoyed like wheelbarrow.

"Zindagi ek safar hai Suhana yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana..."

Frost poem;

"I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep"

Both line are contradictory but each words gives to energy and motivation to find your direction without any hesitation. As we have many desire but it is not possible to achive them in a short span of life. Life has its own plans for us. This life is a beautiful journey and we are fullfill own dreams and desires. Miles to go before I sleep, this line given to motivation for us. 

Thank you.
