mere chand ko dekhkar chand bhi sharma gaya

even the moon got shy after looking at my moon

chand mera dil chandni ho tum

moon is my heart and you are it's moonlight

chand se parda kijiye kahin chura na le chehre ka noor

veil from the moon what if it steals the glow of your face

chand si mehbooba ho meri kab aisa maine socha tha

when did i ever thought that my beloved will be like the moon

chanda bhi deewana hai tera

even the moon is crazy about you
