Rafi rendered this simple philosophy

Jeene Ki Raah means the way to live, and there’s no better person to teach Hindi film music aficionados that than Anand Bakshi, who penned simple lines like, “Zamanewaalon kitaab-e-gham mein khushi ka koi fasana dhoondho” (which could be translated to, “People of the world, search for a tale of happiness in the book of sadness”.)

It was one of the best lines in Ek Banjara Gaaye, the philosophical title track of the aforementioned film.

The song, whose title means, “A gypsy sings”, was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and rendered by none other than Mohammed Rafi.
