Dil sulagta raha chandni raat mein
Dil sulagta raha chandni raat mein
Chand kya keh gaya chandni raat mein
Dil sulagta raha chandni raat mein
Khwaab sa ek lamha mujhe yaad hai
Khwaab sa ek lamha mujhe yaad hai
Khwaab sa ek lamha mujhe yaad hai
Jab woh mujhse mila chandni raat mein
Jab woh mujhse mila chandni raat mein
Chand kya keh gaya chandni raat mein
Dil sulagta raha chandni raat mein
Yaad aata toh hoga tujhe bhi kabhi
Yaad aata toh hoga tujhe bhi kabhi
Yaad aata toh hoga tujhe bhi kabhi
Koi bhoola hua chandni raat mein
Koi bhoola hua chandni raat mein
Chand kya keh gaya chandni raat mein
Dil sulagta raha chandni raat mein
Teergi chchat gayi chand ke noor se
Teergi chchat gayi chand ke noor se
Teergi chchat gayi chand ke noor se
Jab wo yaad aa gaya chandni raat mein
Jab wo yaad aa gaya chandni raat mein
Chand kya keh gaya chandni raat mein
Dil sulagta raha chandni raat mein
Muntazir hai phir andaz tere liye
Muntazir hai phir andaz tere liye
Muntazir hai phir andaz tere liye
Tu na aayega kya chandni raat mein
Tu na aayega kya chandni raat mein
Chand kya keh gaya chandni raat mein
Dil sulagta raha chandni raat mein
Chand kya keh gaya chandni raat mein
Dil sulagta raha chandni raat mein
Chand kya keh gaya chandni raat mein
Dil sulagta raha chandni raat mein
Chandni raat mein
Chandni raat mein
