chand madham hai aasman chup hai .. Lata Ji .. Madan Mohan .. Sahir .. Madhubala

(LYRICS, TRANSLATION & VIDEO) Such songs are divine and are created in the heavens. The mesmerising composition by Madan Mohan, the magic of Sahir Ludhianvi's poetry narrating a deep angst, solitude and futile desire to meet her beloved, and above all sarswati Lata ji describing the agony, despair and anguish so beautifully in her miraculous and gripping voice, to make it one of the finest creations of Hindi songs of Bollywood for movie Railway Platform.

This charismatic song deserves the most enchanting beauty......... Madhubala. I have compiled this video where "She is waiting and longing for her beloved on a dim moonlit night when everything is asleep. She is looking over the white clouds caressing the mountains in the far-away valley. She is requesting her Love to come back while she is young and passionate. She is waiting him anxiously all night till the twilight of the dawn appears".

The Lyrics with possible Translation are:

chaand maddham hai aasmaaN chup hai !
(The moon is dim and sky is calm

neend ki goad mein jahaaN chup hai
(In the lap of slumber, the whole world is drowsed)

chaand maddham hai aasmaaN chup hai !

duur vaadi meiN duudhiya baadal
(The white clouds in the far-away valley

jhuk ke parbat ko pyaar karate haiN !
come down to cuddle the hills)

dil mein naakaam hasarateiN lekar
(with futile desires in my heart,

ham tera intezaar karate hain
I am waiting for you all night)

chaand maddham hai aasmaaN chup hai

in bahaaroN ke saaye meiN aaja
(Please come while I am under the shadows of infatuation
phir mohabbat javaan rahe na rahe
who knows, my love remains as youthful or not)

zindagi tere na-muradooN par
(The life, on a distraught person like me,

kal talak mehrbaaN rahe na rahe
may not be kind tomorrow)

chaand maddham hai aasmaan chup hai

roz ki tarah aaj bhi taare
(Like every day, the stars
subah ki gard meiN na kho jaayeiN
may not disappear in the twilight of the dawn)

aa tere gham mein jaagati aankheiN
(Please come, so that my sleepless eyes which are awake anguished for you,

kam se kam ek raat so jaayeiN!
may sleep at least for a night)

chaand maddham hai aasmaan chup hai

Dear Imad Bhai,  Pardon my ignorance.Could you please tell me the meaning of the word "TALKHIYAN"? Urdu is such a sweet language and could be effortlessly used for expressing any form of human emotion. Aadab!!!

@gunanidhy55

Dear Friend,

TalkhiyaN means "bitternesses" "resentments"

Thanks and regard

Dear Imad Bhai sahib,

This song and video is so dear to me that I myself see and listen this song everyday.The lyric and music of this immortal song, transfer you to another plane altogether. There must be something divine in this engrossing song which makes one relate to it. This is probably one of the finest songs ever composed. It can be considered one of the top 10 compositions of Hindi music.

Thaks a lot for liking.

Best regards

Mukhtar

The actress is Nalni Jaywant not Madhubala

@shaukatjamil

Dear Shaukat Sahib,

The origional song was on Nalni Jaywant in Railway Platform. As it is not avilable, may be the prints of the movie are destroyed, I have created it on Madhubala the way I see this song.

Thanks and best regards

Mukhtar

Gosh! An intensity of romantic angst in sweet innocence defined in a powerful poetry in motion,...piercing hearts,...on, & off the screen!..as she implores her beloved to come, before those pangs of angst subside!..before it's too late!

Brilliant how an anguished longing in her eyes is captured @ 0:43 with creative precision of that teardrop; as she bemoans not being embraced by her beloved akin to those mountains in her vision, by the caressing clouds!

MukhtarJi, Creative Genius!:)

Ever since I have listened to this mesmerizing song, I have fallen in love with it. There must be something divine in this engrossing song which makes one relate to it. This is probably one of the finest songs ever composed. It can be considered one of the top 10 compositions of Hindi music.

The lyrics, music, singer and the fascinating video on Madhubala, complement each other perfectly. Let me describe this song and the video in one word –A MASTERPIECE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MUKHTAR BHAI,I AM ADICTED TO THIS SONG AND VIDEO ,WHAT A PERFECT COMBINATION IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS PICTURISED ON ONE AND ONLY MADHUBALA.

@srinivasanchanniga SD was having a hard time with it. Madan Mohan composed it for him. As he also gave SD Jeevan Ke Safar Mein Raahi in Munimji 1955. Never claimed any credit for either. Madan Mohan did respect SD very much as he respected all senior MD's. When MD Shyam Sunder passed away with Alif Laila 1953 incomplete. Madan Mohan finished it. Never took any credit or compensation. No one knows who composed Yeh Bebasi Yeh Mera Haal-e-Zar Dekh To Le (Talat Mahmood). That, was, Madan Mohan!

[srinivasanchanniga]

@RealMusicKing You mean to say Dada Burman was not capable of composing a song like 'Mera sundar sapna'? Rather I would say Madan must have been benefited by this association to learn about finer aspects of composing film music from a stalwart like Dada Burman whom he loved and respected.

[RealMusicKing]

@srinivasanchanniga S.D. Burman was lucky to have Madan Mohan help him out in Do Bhai. Because of Madan, S.D. earned a gold medal for "Mera Sundar Beet Gaya".

This ghazal is part of SAHIR book TALKHIYAN.
