Dheere dheere chal chaand gagan mein
Posted on: April 29, 2009
The word “Chaand” and its derivatives were quite common in Bollywood movies till 1970s, after which man reached the moon and mankind ( including Bollywood lyricists) would no longer look at “Chaand” with the same fascination.
Most of the songs with the word “Chaand” in them tend to be ideal songs for listenening to at night time. These are the kind of songs that I call “Chaayageet” songs.
Here is a lovely “Chaayaageet” song from a 1959 movie called “Love Marriage”. It is a duet sung by Rafi and Lata and it is picturised on Dev Anand and Mala Sinha. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist and Shankar Jaikishan composed the music.

Lyrics
dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
arre, dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
kahin dhal naa jaaye raat, toot naa jaayen sapne
arre, dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
kahin dhal naa jaaye raat, toot naa jaayen sapne
are, dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
tu jhoomke chale to dil pe chale kataari
ho hai meethi chhuri ye zaalim nazar tumhaari
tu jhoomke chale to dil pe chale kataari
ho hai meethi chhuri ye zaalim nazar tumhaari
gun gun goonje raag, aaj pawan mein
arre, dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
kahin dhal naa jaaye raat, toot naa jaayen sapne
are, dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
wo kyaa cheez thi, milaake nazar bhilaa di
ho huaa wo asar, ke hamne nazar jhukaa di
vo kyaa cheez thi, milaake nazar bhilaa di
ho huaa wo asar, ke hamne nazar jhukaa di
arre hongi do do baat aaj milan mein
dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
kahin dhal naa jaaye raat, toot naa jaayen sapne
are, dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
do dil mil gaye, diye jal gaye hazaaron
ho aji, tum mil gaye, to gul khil gaye hazaaron
do dil mil gaye, diye jal gaye hazaaron
ho aji, tum mil gaye, to gul khil gaye hazaaron
rimjhim barse pyaar aaj chaman mein
are, dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
kahin dhal naa jaaye raat, toot naa jaayen sapne
are, dheere dheere chal, chaand gagan mein
dheere dheere chal
