Am not really jobless..

..but i did spend a good one month, or perhaps more hunting for the CD or even the lyrics of the song `sansar se bhaage firte ho' from the film Chitralekha. As luck would have it, Vividh Bharati played songs from the film on two occasions in the last one month, but, sadly my favourite was not their chosen one. I searched high and low for the lyrics on the net but could find stray mentions of the song in articles on Sahir Ludhianavi. Well, after finishing my story yesterday, i got back to hunting for the song again.. and after a good two hours of real surfing I found a site from where I could play the song and hastily took down the lyrics.
And now I am dying to put the lyrics here on my blog ever since for two reasons. One, i dont want people surfing for the lyrics of the song to face the problems i did and two.. i just love the way this song challenges just about every philosophy on life, ideals and indulgence. While seekers of the eternal truth describe pleasures of life ephemeral, this song begs to differ.
here goes -

sansar se bhaage firte ho
bhagwaan ko kya tum paaoge
is lok ko kabhi apna na sake
us lok mein bhi pachtaoge

yeh paap hai kya
yeh punya hai kya
reeton par dharm ki mohren hai
har yug mein badalte dharmon ko
kaise aadarsh banaoge?

yeh bhog bhi ek tapasya hai
tum tyaag ke maare kya jaano
apmaan racheta ka hoga
rachna ko agar thukraoge

hum kehte hai yeh jag apna hai
tum kehte ho jhootha sapna hai
hum janam bita kar jaayenge
tum janam gawan kar jaaoge
