Chaand raat tum ho saath

Chaand raat tum ho saath
Kya karen aji ab toh dil machal machal gaya
Chaand raat tum ho saath
Kya karen aji ab toh dil machal machal gaya

Dil ka aitbaar kya
Kya karoge ji kal jo ye badal badal gaya
Dil ka aitbaar kya
Kya karoge ji kal jo ye badal badal gaya

Zulmi nazar, kaisi nidar, dil chura liya
Jaane kis ajab se desh mein bula liya
Zulmi nazar, kaisi nidar, dil chura liya
Jaane kis ajab se desh mein bula liya

Yeh bhi koi dil hai kya,
Jahaan mauka mila fisal fisal gaya

Chaand raat tum ho saath
Kya karen aji ab toh dil machal machal gaya
Dil ka aitbaar kya
Kya karoge ji kal jo ye badal badal gaya

Suniye zara maine kaha mat sataiye
Apne aap apni raah laut jaaiye
Suniye zara maine kaha mat sataiye
Apne aap apni raah laut jaaiye

Yeh woh raahen nahin
Jisspe chal ke koi sambhal sambhal gaya

Chaand raat tum ho saath
Kya karen aji ab toh dil machal machal gaya
Dil ka aitbaar kya
Kya karoge ji kal jo ye badal badal gaya

Behke kadam ab toh sanam baanh thaam lo
Apni nazar apni nigaahon se kaam lo
Behke kadam ab toh sanam baanh thaam lo
Apni nazar apni nigaahon se kaam lo

Aap ka kya gaya,
Phool sa dil mera kuchal kuchal gaya

Chaand raat tum ho saath
Kya karen aji ab toh dil machal machal gaya
Dil ka aitbaar kya
Kya karoge ji kal jo ye badal badal gaya

I think the songs in this movie are good fun and it made sense to end the year on a happy note. So, to add to the two that S has already showcased, here’s my favourite from the movie. May the year ahead be filled with sweet melodies for all of us. ~ R
