थोड़ी सी ख़ुशी हमने पाई थी

'Thodi Si Khushi Humne Paayi Thi' is a song of loss — the small happiness that was found and then taken away — a mood that recurs through the introspective numbers of Rahgeer (1943). It belongs to Khan Mastana's nine-song score on lyrics by Shewan Rizvi; the individual playback singer is not documented in surviving records of the film.

Khan Mastana sets the lament as a slow, plaintive melody — the wistful register of 1940s screen sorrow — carried on a sparse harmonium-and-tabla bed. The deliberate tempo lets the singer linger over the words of remembered, vanished happiness.
