Panchhi meri khushi ka zamaanaa kahaan gayaa

“Chaand” (1944) is a movie that introduced Begam Para to Hindi movie watchers. This movie also introduced Husnlal Bhagatram to Hindi movie music lovers.
Husnlal Bhagatram’s contributions to Hundi movie music should not be forgotten. They became the first music director duo in Hindi movies and they paved the way for some more music director duos in the coming decades.
They made their debut at a time when Hindi movie music was in its infancy and it was trying to find its feet. Different music directors brought their own flavours to the melting pot of Hindi movie music. Husnlal Bhagatram was one of the first to introduce and lilting and foot tapping Punjabi music to Hindi music scene which paved the way for the music directors to follow, viz O P Nayyar etc.
I have already discussed three songs from “Chaand” (1944) including my absolute personal favourite Ae chaand bataa mujhko kyaa isi ka naam hai pyaar . Here is another song from this movie.
It is interesting to notice how expertly Husnlal Bhagatram could adapt to the needs of the song situation. In this movie, they composed songs of different genres that depicted romance, happiness, sorrow etc. This song is a sad song which shows Begam Para wondering what happened to her happy days. The song is sung by Zeenat Begam.The lyrics by Qamar Jalalabadi capture the feelings of melancholy felt by the character quite expertly.

Lyrics
panchhi meri khushi kaa zamaanaa kahaan gayaa
zamaanaa kahaan gayaa
panchhi meri khushi kaa zamaanaa kahaan gayaa

ab unko rokne ki zaroorat bhi pad gayi

wo mere roothne kaa bahaanaa kahaan gayaa
bahaanaa kahaan gayaa
wo mere roothne kaa bahaanaa kahaan gayaa
bahaanaa kahaan gayaa
main dil se poochhti hoon kahaan hai meraa suhaag
kahaan hai meraa suhaag
main dil se poochhti hoon kahaan hai meraa suhaag
kahaan hai meraa suhaag
dil mujh se poochhtaa hai deewaanaa kahaan gayaa
deewaanaa kahaan gayaa
dil mujh se poochhtaa hai deewaanaa kahaan gayaa
deewaanaa kahaan gayaa
tu meri qaid mein hai to main gham ki qaid mein

tu meri qaid mein hai to main gham ki qaid mein
main gham ki qaid mein
wo teraa geet meraa taraanaa kahaan gayaa
taraanaa kahaan gayaa
panchhi meri khushi kaa zamaanaa kahaan gayaa
zamaanaa kahaan gayaa
