Chanda Hai Tu Hindi Lyrics
चंदा है तू, मेरा सूरज है तू
ओ मेरी आँखों का तारा है तू
जीती हूँ मैं बस तुझे देखकर
इस टूटे दिल का सहारा है तू
तू खेले खेल कई, मेरा खिलोना है तू
जिससे बँधी हर आशा मेरी
मेरा वो सपना सलोना है तू
नन्हां सा है, कितना सुंदर है तू
छोटा सा है, कितना प्यारा है तू
चंदा है तू, मेरा सूरज है तू…
मुन्ने तू खुश है बड़ा, तेरे गुड्डे की शादी है आज
मैं वारी रे, मैं बलिहारी रे
घूँघट में गुड़िया को आती है लाज
यूँ ही कभी होगी शादी तेरी
दूल्हा बनेगा कुंवारा है तू
चंदा है तू, मेरा सूरज है तू…
पुरवई वन में उड़े, पंछी चमन में उड़े
राम करे कभी हो के बड़ा
तू बन के बादल गगन में उड़े
जो भी तुझे देखे वो ये कहे
किस माँ का ऐसा दुलारा है तू
चंदा है तू, मेरा सूरज है तू…
Chanda Hai Tu Lyrics in English
Chanda hai tu mera suraj hai tu
O meri aankhon ka tara hai tu
Chanda hai tu mera suraj hai tu
O meri aankhon ka tara hai tu
Chanda hai tu mera suraj hai tu
O meri aankhon ka tara hai tu
Jiti hu main bas tujhe dekhakar
Iss tute dil ka sahara hai tu
Chanda hai tu mera suraj hai tu
Tu khele khel kayi mera khilona hai tu
Tu khele khel kayi mera khilona hai tu
Jisase bandhi har aasha meri
Mera wo sapna salona hai tu
Nanhasa hai kitana sundar hai
Tu chhotasa hai kitana pyara hai tu
Chanda hai tu mera suraj hai tu
Munne tu khush hai bada
Tere gudde ki shadi hai aaj
Munne tu khush hai bada
Tere gudde ki shadi hai aaj
Main wari re main balihari re
Ghunghat mein gudiya ko aati hai laaj
Yuhi kabhi hogi shadi teri
Dulha banega kunwara hai tu
Chanda hai tu mera suraj hai tu
Purwayi wan me ude
Panchhi chaman mein ude
Purwayi wan me ude
Panchhi chaman mein ude
Ram kare kabhi ho ke bada
Tu banake badal gagan mein ude
Jo bhi tujhe dekhe woh
Yeh kahe kis mann ka aisa dulara hai tu
Chanda hai tu mera suraj hai tu
O meri aankhon ka tara hai tu
Jiti hu main bas tujhe dekhakar
Iss tute dil ka sahara hai tu
Chanda hai tu mera suraj hai tu.
