“Ab Kaun Sahara Hai” is a hauntingly beautiful melody from the 1948 cinematic landmark Ziddi. This film played a crucial role in the early career of Lata Mangeshkar, providing a platform for her to showcase the incredible emotional depth and “soprano” clarity that would soon define Indian playback music.
The song is a masterpiece of melancholy, composed by the visionary Khemchand Prakash, who was instrumental in mentoring Lata during her formative years. With evocative and poignant lyrics penned by Prem Dhawan, the track perfectly captures the despair of a broken heart and the isolation of losing one’s only support. It remains a testament to the era when the “Queen of Melody” was just beginning to establish her reign over the musical world.
Ab kaun sahara hai lyrics | Lata Mangeshkar | Ziddi | 1948
Ab kaun sahara hai lyrics :
ab kaun sahara hai
jab tera sahara chhut gayaaa..
jab tera sahara chhut gaya
jab tera sahara chhut gaya….
jab tera sahara chhut gaya
tum hii kya tum hii kya ruth gaye
hamase to zamana ruth gaya
hamase to zamana ruth gaya
taqadiir ka rona kya
taqadiir ka rona kya
duniya se shikayat kya
dil me dil me basanevala
jab dil kii hii duniya lut gaya..
jab dil kii hii duniya lut gaya
do dil milakar bhii dur rahe….
majabur the ham majabur rahe
majabur the ham majabur rahe
in hathon in hathon me akar bhii
haye unaka daman chhut gaya
haye unaka daman chhut gaya…
ham gam ke ansu pii lenge….
ham do din yun hii jii lenge
tum shad tum shad raho abad
apana to nasiiba phut gaya
apana to nasiiba phut gaya
ab kaun
ab kaun sahara hai
jab tera sahara chhut gayaaa..
jab tera sahara chhut gaya
ab kaun………
