Chaandni Raaten – Song No. 7
———————————-
Song No. 7 of the series is a Rafi-Asha duet from the film ‘Bhai Behan(1969). In the list of songs moviewise, there are two movies of same name ‘Bhai Behan ‘(1950) & ‘Bhai Behan’ (1959). So this movie of 1969 is making a debut in the blog with this chaand and chaandni song.
The song is picturized as a romantic song on Sunil Dutt and Nutan, in a white sari, so that she can be compared to the chaandni. This is one of the two Rafi-Asha duets in a music score dominated by Asha Bhonsle. Rajendra Krishan is the lyricist and Shankar Jaikishan are the composers. I thought most of S-J films must have appeared in the blog, so this is a surprise that this movie was still left in the lurch.
There are a few Rafi-Asha duets in my list of Chaandni Raaten songs. I had planned to send a post on the occasion of Asha Bhonsle’s birthday on 8th September, but somehow I seemed to have missed my cue. Anyway I am not the only one missing the cue :-) .
Song-Chaand nikla bhi nahin aur chaandni hai saamne (Bhai Behan)(1969) Singers-Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-Shankar Jaikishan
Lyrics
Chaand nikla bhi nahin aur
chaandni hai saamne
chaand niklaa bhi nahin aur chaandni hai saamne
main giraa haay
main giraa koyi
aaye mujh ko thhaamne ae
chaand nikla bhi nahin aur
chaandni hai saaamne ae
aaj yehaan kal jaane kahaan
chaand badaa harjaayi hai
phir bhi pagle panchhi ne
chaand se preet lagaayi hai
haay chaand se preet lagaayi hai
chaand niklaa bhi nahin aur chaandni hai saamne
main giraa haay
main giraa koyi
aaye mujh ko thhaamne ae
chaand nikla bhi nahin aur
chaandni hai saaamne ae
tum jo bano
ek shama’a
main parwaana ban jaaun
ek ishaara aa
tum kar do
main deewaana ban jaaun
main deewaana ban jaaun
haay haay haay haay
chaand niklaa bhi nahin aur chaandni hai saamne
achha
main giraa haay
haay haay haay
main giraa koyi
aaye mujh ko thhaamne ae
haay
chaand nikla bhi nahin aur
chaandni hai saamne ae
behlaao yun na sanam
pyar ki jhooti qasmon se
ham anjaane laakh sahee
waaqif hain in rasmon se
haay
waaqif hain in rasmon se
chaand niklaa bhi nahin aur chaandni hai saamne
ah haa
main giraa haay
oye hoy
main giraa koyi
aaye mujh ko thhaamne ae
ha aa haa
chaand nikla bhi nahin aur
chaandni hai saamne ae
main giraa haay
ho ho ho
main giraa koyi
aaye mujh ko thhaamne ae
hoy
chaand nikla bhi nahin aur
chaandni hai saamne ae
