ek deep jigar me bujhti hai
ek dard saa dil me hotaa hai
ham raato ko uthkar rote hai
jab saara aalam sotaa hai
chaandani raate, o, chaandani raate
sab jag soye, ham jaage
taaro se kare baate
chaandani raate, o, chaandani raate
takte takte chhuti jaaye
aaj piyaa na aaye re, takte takte
shaam savere dard anokhe
uthe jiyaa ghabaraaye re, shaam savere
raato ne meri nind lut li
raato ne meri nind lut li
dil ki chhain churaaye
dukhiyaa aankhe dhundh rahi hai
vohi pyaar ki baate
chaandani raate, o, chaandani raate
pichhli raat me gam ko tutkar
chupke chupke roye re, pichhli raat me
chupke nind me mit hamaare
desh paraaye soye re, chupke nind me
dil ki dhadkane tujhe pukaare
dil ki dhadkane tujhe pukaare
aajaa baalam aai bahaare
baith ke tanahaai me kar le
sukh-dukh ki do baate
chaandani raate, o, chaandani raate
sab jag soye, ham jaage
taaro se kare baate
chaandani raate, o, chaandani raate
Though it is a sad song, due to its melody and appeal, it was played in
bars in Bangalore a few years ago!
