Guzar gaya wo zamaanaa kaisa kaisaa
Posted on: November 7, 2009
For people like me, who discuss songs from yesteryears all the time, feeling nostalgic about the past is no big deal. But this song is something exceptional even for nostalgia buffs.
This song from “Doctor” is nearly 70 years old, and that makes this song a very old song indeed. And this song is from an era when talkies were just 10 years old and playback singing was in its infancy. It is pioneers like Pankaj Mullick who helped playback singing become what it is today.
This song is a lovely song which in fact talks of the days gone by. So this song was a nostalgic song even in 1941 when it was produced. The voice, the music, the picturisation, all of that is oozing with nostalgic. And Pankaj Mullick is the person who is the singer, actor as well as the composer of this song. That leaves only the lyrics writing, and I have no idea who the lyricist is, but he has certainly come up with a superb song.
This song, though based on classical rag (Gunkali) is so soothing even to the ears of the uninitiated. What a wonderful gem from the past this song is !
Song-Guzar gayaa wo zamaana kaisa kaisa (Doctor) (1941) Singer- Pankaj Mullick, MD-Pankaj Mullick
Lyrics
Guzar gayaa wo zamaanaa
kaisaa-kaisaa
guzar gayaa wo zamaanaa
kaisaa-kaisaa
hansi-Khushi ki bahaar thi jismein
guzar gayaa wo zamaanaa
kaisaa-kaisaa
guzar gayaa
phool tamannaaon ke jismein
qadam-qadam par khilte the
ab wo hi rastaa ujdaa ban hai
jispe hai aanaa-jaanaa
kaisaa-kaisaa
guzar gayaa
hanstaa huaa ek raaz hai jisase
konaa-konaa roshan thaa
aisaa bujhaa ke
aisaa bujhaa ke dubaaraa jisko
minnaten nahin jalaanaa
kaisaa-kaisaa
guzar gayaa
gayaa zamaanaa phir aayegaa
jaane waale jaanege
gayaa zamaanaa phir aayegaa
jaane waale jaanege
hamako na pahachaanegaa jo koyi
ham bhi
ham bhi
ham bhii kyun pahchaanenge
aa jaa aa jaa
