Kyaa yahi jawaani hai
Posted on: June 13, 2011
If you rely upon most sites for knowing about the movie “Chaand”(1944), the only information you may come across is that this movie had Shashikala in it. The fact that Shashikala at that time was only 11 years old is obviously lost on these sites.
“Chaand”(1944) had Sitara, Prem Adeeb and Sapru in lead roles and this movie introduced a new leading lady to movie watchers in the form of Begam Para.
Here is a lovely “coming of age” song picturised on Begam Para. the song is sung by Zeenat Begam with gusto. Qamar Jalalabadi is the lyricist. Husnlal-Bhagatram were also making their debut as music directors in Hindi movies with this movie.

Lyrics
kyaa yahi jawaani hai
kyaa yahi jawaani hai
har dil hai nikhra huaa
har dil hai nikhra huaa
har raat suhaani hai
kyaa yahi jawaani hai
main gairon se kyun poochhoon
main apno se kyun poochhoon
main gairon se kyun poochhoon
main apno se kyun poochhoon
aayina jo kehta hai
aayina jo kehta hai
tu husn ki rani hai
tu husn ki rani hai
kyaa yahi jawaani hai
kyaa kahoon ke kaun aakar
kyaa kahoon ke kaun aakar
sapnon mein jagaataa hai
kyaa kahoon ke kaun aakar
sapnon mein jagaataa hai
sunte hi meri aankhen
sunte hi meri aankhen
jaane kahaan jaataa hai
jaane kahaan jaataa hai
ye meri kahaani hai
ye meri kahaani hai
kyaa yahi jawaani hai
jaate huye bachpan se
aate huye joban se
jaate huye bachpan se
aate huye joban se
donon se main kehti hoon
donon se main kehti hoon
ye dil ki meri ye duniya
ye dil ki meri ye duniya
ab kaise basaani hai
ab kaise basaani hai
kyaa yahi jawaani hai
kyaa yahi jawaani hai
