V. Siddhartha on Thursday, July 02, 2009
I have heard this sweet plaintive song by Moh'd Rafi before, but have
forgotten whether it was in a film or was part of some non-movie album.
Delighted to hear it again. Thanks, Mirzaji.

motandas1 on Friday, July 03, 2009
Film Chanderkanta was not at all a hit. T the film's relevance is just because of this song. Great song indeed. Thanks for this upload. You seem to have made lot of efforts to maintain the quality of the song.

appatel on Friday, July 03, 2009
Rafi, the untainted Surreal voice !!!!

dil mein naakaam ummidon kay baseray paaye
roshani lene ko nikala to andheray paaye
rang aur nuur ke dhaaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chaand aur sitaaron ki tamana ki thi

One of Rafi Sahib's best - one in a million. Rafi Sahib we miss you .

syed2247 on Saturday, November 14, 2009
Very nice. Thanks Mirza Sahib.

Indy Pop on Monday, March 01, 2010
One of the best song of Indian film industry. Have sort of emotional
relation with this song, tears start flowing whenever I listen in alone.
Great wording, great composition & greatest possible singing! Thanks for
uploading.

muhammad masood javed on Monday, March 22, 2010
i love this song.. rafi sahb ki awaz aur SAAHIR LUDHIANVI ka kalaam.
zabardast!

kyahampa on Sunday, April 25, 2010
This is what I call a classic. Thanks for the upload.

ghulam asghar on Thursday, May 27, 2010
The greatness of this song is hidden in its composition and interval pieces
apart from its lyrics and the voice of Rafi.

FAQEERAHMED on Wednesday, June 02, 2010
THIS IS NOT RAFI SAHAB SINGING. THIS IS SOME ANGEL FROM HEAVENS BRINGING TO
EARTH THE BEAUTIFULL SOUNDS OF HEAVENS.

rumahale on Thursday, June 10, 2010
@chamogaa Sir, it is from movie Chandrakanta - lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi. I
have always liked it. Video is not available on YT.

V. Siddhartha on Thursday, June 10, 2010
@rumahale Thanks for the info,Mahaleji. " I had desired the moon and
stars,but only received the bleak blackness of night." Very imaginative
words from Sahir as always.( I am doing an idiomatic translation here of
the Urdu word syahi, which is also used for black ink.)

rumahale on Thursday, June 10, 2010
@chamogaa Thank you Sir for the imaginative poetic words' translation.

crazyoldsongs on Thursday, June 10, 2010
v beautiful rafi song which i used to hear often on radio in any old songs'
programme and was a favourite with vividh bharti . rafi's voice is heavenly
and he always put his soul in the songs rendered by him . thanks for the
classic and thanks rumahale ji for sharing .

RealMusicKing on Saturday, June 12, 2010
Nice Mirza Sahib. Thank you.
Chandrakanta was a 1955 film. Sahir Ludhianvi had a quarrel with S.D. Burman. Burman had two assistants at that time, Jaidev and N. Dutta. Sahir tried to convince both of them to go independent and he would write for them. Jaidev refused as Burmans son, Rahul was not ready to assist him on a full time basis. N. Dutta went along. N. Dutta did give real good music as in this film. Sahir did write solid words for all MD's including N. Dutta.

@crazyoldsongs Thanks for liking and comments. Sahir Ludhianvi and Mohammad

Pashambay Baloch on Thursday, December 30, 2010

December is his death anniversary. I today opened my internet to listen
only songs created by Mastereo from Goa. First assistant to Burmanda and
then indepdent composer and what classic films to his credit, Milap, Marine
Drive, Dhool ka Phool, Sadhna, Black Cat, Dharmputra, Mr X, Miss 58, Gyara
hazar Ladkiyan. Mr John, Light House and more. My humble tribute to him and
may Almighty rest his soul in peace P. Baloch

srjsv on Saturday, February 05, 2011
A perfect song. I dont find another song of this film by Rafiji & Ashaji, "Jee chahta
he aaj kahin door jaiye..". If you can please upload it. Thanks!

ashsawhney on Saturday, February 19, 2011
The more I listen to this song more it touches my soul. It is incredible
that a old song like this can force you to look at your own life and
reflect on all the failed moments and aspirations. I wish I had Rafi Sahib
voice so I can sing it loudly.

sumemon on Tuesday, March 08, 2011
Please can anyone upload the original video.

chocobrownie7 on Wednesday, November 02, 2011
