तुम छोड़ चले हाय हमें गिरधारी

'Tum Chhod Chale Hay Hamen Girdhari' ('you have left us, O Girdhari') is a devotional lament sung by Anima Ghosh in Bhaichara (1943), and is reported to be adapted from a Nazrul Geeti — Kazi Nazrul Islam's Bengali song repertoire — recast by composer Himanshu Dutta for the Hindi screen. The address to Girdhari (Krishna) gives it a bhajan-like ache. The film's lyrics were credited collectively to Kumar Vyas, Uday Shankar Bhatt, Ishwar Chandra Kapoor, M.R. Kapoor and Nazir Bedi.

This number is the clearest expression of Himanshu Dutta's Bengali lineage in Bhaichara: a Nazrul-Geeti melody, with its characteristic plaintive contour and devotional weight, transposed into Hindi. Dutta keeps the orchestration sparse and lets Anima Ghosh's voice carry the song's grief, exactly as the source idiom intends.
