One of the things I like doing, is to watch old films on youtube. In the past, there weren’t that many available but over the last few years, many more have been uploaded. Especially the ones that aren’t very easily available otherwise. For somebody like me, that is like “andhe ko kya chaahiye, do aankhen”. 🙂

Chandni Raaten : Song No. 4
———————————
chaand aahen bharegaa phool dil thhaam lenge
husn ki baat chali to sab teraa naam lenge
chand phir nikla magar tum na aaye
jalaa phir mera dil karoon kya main haaye
dheere dheere chal chaand gagan mein
kahin dhal na jaaye raat toot na jaayen sapne
arey dheere dheere chal chaand gagan mein
khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
ham ko bhi kaise need aayegi ho oo
