Maine Chand Aur Sitaro Ki Tamanna Ki Thi - मैंने चाँद और सितारों की तमन्ना की थी
Lyrics of Maine Chand Aur Sitaro Ki Tamanna Ki Thi - मैंने चाँद और सितारों की तमन्ना की थी
maine chand aur sitaro ki tamanna ki thi
maine chand aur sitaro ki tamanna ki thi
mujhko rato ki siyahi ke siva kuch na mila
maine chand aur sitaro ki tamanna ki thi

mai vo nagma hu jise pyar ki mahafil na mili
mai vo nagma hu jise pyar ki mahafil na mili
vo musafir hu jise koi bhi manzil na mili
vo musafir hu jise koi bhi manzil na mili
zakhm paye hai baharo ki tamanna ki thi
maine chand aur sitaro ki tamanna ki thi

kisi gesu kisi aanchal ka sahara bhi nahi
kisi gesu kisi aanchal ka sahara bhi nahi
raste me koi dhundhla sa sitara bhi nahi
raste me koi dhundhla sa sitara bhi nahi
meri nazro ne nazaro ki tamanna ki thi
maine chand aur sitaro ki tamanna ki thi
mujhko rato ki siyahi ke siva kuch na mila
maine chand aur sitaro ki tamanna ki thi

meri raaho se juda ho gai raahe unki
meri raaho se juda ho gai raahe unki
aaj badli nazar aati hai nigahe unki
aaj badli nazar aati hai nigahe unki
jisse is dil ne saharo ki tamanna ki thi
maine chand aur sitaro ki tamana ki thi

pyar manga to sisakte huye araman mile
pyar manga to sisakte huye araman mile
chain chaha to umadate huye tufan mile
chain chaha to umadate huye tufan mile
dubte dil ne kinaro ki tamanna ki thi
maine chand aur sitaro ki tamanna ki thi
mujhko rato ki syahi ke siva kuch na mila
maine chand aur sitaro ki tamanna ki thi
lyrics of song Maine Chand Aur Sitaro Ki Tamanna Ki Thi
Poetic Translation - Lyrics of Maine Chand Aur Sitaro Ki Tamanna Ki Thi - मैंने चाँद और सितारों की तमन्ना की थी
I craved the moon, the stars' embrace,
I craved the moon, the stars' embrace,
And found but shadows in the night's dark space.
I craved the moon, the stars' embrace.

A song I am, unheard by love's sweet choir,
A song I am, unheard by love's sweet choir,
A traveler, with no haven to desire,
A traveler, with no haven to desire.
Wounds I gained, in spring's aspiring fire,
I craved the moon, the stars' embrace.

No tresses, nor a sheltering arm,
No tresses, nor a sheltering arm,
No distant star to shield me from the harm,
No distant star to shield me from the harm.
My gaze yearned for a world of vibrant charm,
I craved the moon, the stars' embrace,
And found but shadows in the night's dark space.
I craved the moon, the stars' embrace.

Their paths diverged, from mine they fled,
Their paths diverged, from mine they fled,
Their eyes now hold a changed light, I dread,
Their eyes now hold a changed light, I dread.
From whom this heart, its solace, begged,
I craved the moon, the stars' embrace.

Love I sought, met only sighs,
Love I sought, met only sighs,
Peace I sought, in storms that rise,
Peace I sought, in storms that rise.
Sinking heart, for shores that gently rise,
I craved the moon, the stars' embrace,
And found but shadows in the night's dark space.
I craved the moon, the stars' embrace.

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.

@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.)

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 .
