,a Dandvat" sung by Lata Mangeshkar from the album Maratha ...
🎶 Chal Ud Ja Re Panchi (भाभी, 1957)
Singer: Mukesh
Lyrics: Rajendra Krishan
Music: Chitragupta
🌾 Hindi (Original Lyrics)
Chal ud ja re panchi, ke ab yeh des hua begaana
Ab door hi jaa ke basna, ab door hi jaa ke basna
Yahan kaun apna, yahan kaun apna
💬 English Translation
Fly away, O bird, for this land is no longer yours.
Go far away and make your new home there —
for here, no one belongs to you anymore.
Chal ud ja re panchi... ke ab yeh des hua begaana
Fly away, little bird... this land has turned foreign to you now.
Yeh sab milan ke mele, hai bichhadne waalon ke
All these gatherings of love and union
are destined only for those who must part ways one day.
Pyaare hai pal yeh khel ke, sapne suhaane neendon ke
These moments of joy, these dreams so sweet —
they too are fleeting like dreams at dawn.
Mitti ka hai sab khel sanam, mitti mein sab kuch khona hai
Everything in this world is made of dust, my dear —
and to that dust, all must one day return.
Chal ud ja re panchi, ke ab yeh des hua begaana...
Fly away, little bird — this land is no longer yours.
Kis baag mein khushboo nahi, kis dil mein armaan nahi
There’s no garden without fragrance,
and no heart without a desire.
Lekin jo phool khilaa hai yahan, kal usko rehna yahan nahi
But the flower that blooms here today —
will not remain here tomorrow.
Apne bhi ho jaate hai paraye, kya inmein insaan nahi
Even those we call our own turn strangers —
are they not human, too?
Chal ud ja re panchi... ke ab yeh des hua begaana
Fly away, little bird... this land has turned foreign now.
🌅 Meaning Summary
It’s a philosophical farewell song — about leaving behind a place once filled with love, now strange and distant.
The “bird” represents the departing soul, bride, or loved one, symbolizing life’s impermanence.
Mukesh’s voice, Chitragupta’s soft melody, and the imagery of the village and bullock cart make it one of Hindi cinema’s most soulful farewell songs — perfect for the bidaai mood you mentioned.
