I have heard this sweet plaintive song by Moh'd Rafi before, but have
forgotten whether it was in a film or was part of some non-movie album.
Delighted to hear it again. Thanks, Mirzaji.

Film Chanderkanta was not at all a hit. T the film's relevance is just because of this song. Great song indeed. Thanks for this upload. You seem to have made lot of efforts to maintain the quality of the song.

dil mein naakaam ummidon kay baseray paaye
roshani lene ko nikala to andheray paaye
rang aur nuur ke dhaaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chaand aur sitaaron ki tamana ki thi

One of Rafi Sahib's best - one in a million. Rafi Sahib we miss you .

One of the best song of Indian film industry. Have sort of emotional
relation with this song, tears start flowing whenever I listen in alone.
Great wording, great composition & greatest possible singing! Thanks for
uploading.

i love this song.. rafi sahb ki awaz aur SAAHIR LUDHIANVI ka kalaam.
zabardast!

kyahampa on April 25, 2010
This is what I call a classic. Thanks for the upload.

ghulam asghar on May 27, 2010
The greatness of this song is hidden in its composition and interval pieces
apart from its lyrics and the voice of Rafi.

FAQEERAHMED on June 02, 2010
THIS IS NOT RAFI SAHAB SINGING. THIS IS SOME ANGEL FROM HEAVENS BRINGING TO
EARTH THE BEAUTIFULL SOUNDS OF HEAVENS.

@chamogaa Sir, it is from movie Chandrakanta - lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi. I
have always liked it. Video is not available on YT.

V. Siddhartha on June 10, 2010
@rumahale Thanks for the info,Mahaleji. " I had desired the moon and
stars,but only received the bleak blackness of night." Very imaginative
words from Sahir as always.( I am doing an idiomatic translation here of
the Urdu word syahi, which is also used for black ink.)

rumahale on June 10, 2010
@chamogaa Thank you Sir for the imaginative poetic words' translation.

crazyoldsongs on June 10, 2010
v beautiful rafi song which i used to hear often on radio in any old songs'
programme and was a favourite with vividh bharti . rafi's voice is heavenly
and he always put his soul in the songs rendered by him . thanks for the
classic and thanks rumahale ji for sharing .

RealMusicKing on June 12, 2010
Nice Mirza Sahib. Thank you.
Chandrakanta was a 1955 film. Sahir Ludhianvi had a quarrel with S.D. Burman. Burman had two assistants at that time, Jaidev and N. Dutta. Sahir tried to convince both of them to go independent and he would write for them. Jaidev refused as Burmans son, Rahul was not ready to assist him on a full time basis. N. Dutta went along. N. Dutta did give real good music as in this film. Sahir did write solid words for all MD's including N. Dutta.

@crazyoldsongs Thanks for liking and comments. Sahir Ludhianvi and Mohammad

may Almighty rest his soul in peace P. Baloch

A perfect song. I dont find another song of this film by Rafiji & Ashaji, "Jee chahta
he aaj kahin door jaiye..". If you can please upload it. Thanks!

ashsawhney on February 19, 2011
The more I listen to this song more it touches my soul. It is incredible
that a old song like this can force you to look at your own life and
reflect on all the failed moments and aspirations. I wish I had Rafi Sahib
voice so I can sing it loudly.

sumemon on March 08, 2011
Please can anyone upload the original video.

chocobrownie7 on November 02, 2011
Does anyone have the original video please?
