Chandni Raaten : Song No. 4
———————————
chaand aahen bharegaa phool dil thhaam lenge
husn ki baat chali to sab teraa naam lenge
chand phir nikla magar tum na aaye
jalaa phir mera dil karoon kya main haaye
dheere dheere chal chaand gagan mein
kahin dhal na jaaye raat toot na jaayen sapne
arey dheere dheere chal chaand gagan mein
khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
ham ko bhi kaise need aayegi ho oo
Like all listeners of film songs on radio I have arrived here having consumed a staple diet of ‘ chand ‘and ‘ raat ‘ related songs. Such songs are numerous and too many to count. If I wish I can fill whole posts with just referring to these songs. There are also song which have such references in the stanzas like thi evergreen song from ‘ Sangam ‘
tujhe main chaand kehta thha
magar uss mein bhi daag hai
tujhe sooraj main kehta thhaa
magar uss mein bhi aag hai
tujhe itna main kehta hoon
ke mujh ko tum se pyar hai
tum se pyar hai
ye mera prem patra padh kar
What a round-about way of arriving at the point !
This is an out and out romantic song, a duet by Rafi and Asha Bhosle. Such romantic songs based on moon and night are usually very popular and I had no hopes of finding such typical song not posted yet, to suit my theme. But here it, the movie is not yet represented in the blog. There are two films named ‘Kismat’ (1943 and 1968) with music by Anil Biswas and O. P. Nayyar. This song belong to ‘Kismat’ (1956), with music by the redoubtable Chitragupt. Lyrics are written by Indeevar. Only audio of this song is available as of now. As per the excel sheet it is picturized on Ranjan and Peace Kanwal.
So here is this ‘chhaya geet’ and ‘mental massage’ song talking of chaand raat.
Song-Chaand raat hai tu bhi saathh hai (Kismat)(1956) Singers-Asha Bhonsle, Rafi, Lyrics-Indeewar, MD-Chitragupta

Lyrics
Chaand raat hai ae
tu bhi saathh hai
keh de ae sanam
dil mein kya baat hai ae
chaand raat hai ae
sunte rahen ham
yunhi tum kaho
aankhone ke tum
saamne hi raho o
sunte rahen ham
yunhi tum kaho o
aankhon ke tum
saamne hi raho
tum ko dekh kar
kab bhari nazar
ham ko kya khabar
tum mein kya baat hai ae
chaand raat hai
betaabiyaan phir
badhaate ho kyun
tum iss tarah
muskuraate ho kyun
betaabiyaan phir
badhaate ho kyun
tum iss tarah
muskuraate ho kyun
teer chal gaye ae
dil machal gaye
jeet husn ki
ishq ki maat hai ae
chaand raat hai
rangeen nazaare
ishaare jawaan
aankhon mein ik pyaar ki daastaan
rangeen nazaare
ishaare jawaan
aankhon mein ik pyaar ki daastaan
mujh ko mil gayee ee
zindagi nayee
mere haathh mein
aaj teraa haathh hai ae
chaand raat hai ae
tu bhi saathh hai
keh de ae sanam
dil mein kya baat hai ae
chaand raat hai
