Main chaand hoon ya chaandni
Posted on: April 21, 2013
When one talks of a movie called “Chaandni”, one normally means the Vinod Khanna, Sri Devi starrer movie of 1989.
It turns out that a movie of this title was released as far back as in 1942 as well.
From the little information available about “Chaandni” (1942), it appears that this movie was a Ranjit Production movie. It was directed by Jayant Desai. This movie had Ishwarlal and Khursheed in lead roles, with Dixit,Noorjahaan and Baby Kamla being a few other actors in it.
Here is a delightful song from this movie. This song is sung by Khursheed. D N Madhok is the lyricist. Music is composed by Khemchand Prakash.
This song packs in lots of lyrics in three minutes of song and very little time is spared for interludes between stanzas.
Only the audio of this song is available but it is clear that this song, which is the theme song cum title song of the movie was picturised on Khursheed herself.

Lyrics
Main chaand hoon ya chaandni
main chaand hoon ya chaandni
main chaand hoon ya chaandni
kyun sabke man ko bhaaun
kyun sabke nain samaaun
main chaand hoon ya chaandni
main chaand hoon ya chaandni
shabnam hoon main
moti hoon main
shabnam hoon main
moti hoon main
kaliyon pe phoolon pe chhaa jaaun main
kaliyon pe phoolon pe chhaa jaaun main
shabnam hoon main
moti hoon main
kaliyon pe phoolon pe chhaa jaaun main
main haare ki jeet
bhoole ki preet
main haare ki jeet
bhoole ki preet
rone waalon ki aankhon ka main hoon sangeet
rone waalon ki aankhon ka main hoon sangeet
aansoo bhare to nainanon mein
aansoo bhare to nainanon mein
sapna bankar aaun
sapna bankar aaun
main chaand hoon ya chaandni
main chaand hoon ya chaandni
dhoop khila hai kiran kiran mein
sapnon ki mori chhaaya hai
dhoop khila hai kiran kiran mein
sapnon ki mori chhaaya hai
sone waalon ko jagaaun
sone waalon ko jagaaun
dheere dheere meethhe meethhe
dheere dheere meethhe meethhe
unka bhed sunaaun
unka bhed sunaaun
main chaand hoon ya chaandni
main chaand hoon ya chaandni
kyun sabke man ko bhaaun
kyun sabke nain samaaun
main chaand hoon ya chaandni
