कही तेरी मेरी बात भी आधी न रह
आधा है चंद्रमा रात आधी
आधा है चंद्रमा रात आधी
रह ना जाए तेरी मेरी बात आधी मुलाकात आधी
आधा है चंद्रमा रात आधी
रह ना जाए तेरी मेरी बात आधी मुलाकात आधी
आधा है चंद्रमा
पिया आधी है प्यार की भाषा
आधी रहने दो मन की अभिलाषा
पिया आधी है प्यार की भाषा
आधी रहने दो मन की अभिलाषा
आधे छलके नयन आधे ढलके नयन
अभी पलकों में भी है बरसात आधी
आधा है चंद्रमा रात आधी
रह ना जाए तेरी मेरी बात आधी मुलाकात आधी
आधा है चंद्रमा
आस कब तक रहेगी अधूरी
प्यास होगी नहीं क्या ये पूरी
आस कब तक रहेगी अधूरी
प्यास होगी नहीं क्या ये पूरी
प्यासा प्यासा पवन प्यासा प्यासा गगन
प्यासे तारों की भी है बारात आधी
आधा है चंद्रमा रात आधी
रह ना जाए तेरी मेरी बात आधी मुलाकात आधी
आधा है चंद्रमा
सूर आधा ही श्याम ने साथा
रहा राधा का प्यार भी आधा
सूर आधा ही श्याम ने साथा
रहा राधा का प्यार भी आधा
नैन आधे खिले होंठ आधे हिले
रही मन में मिलन की वो बात आधी
आधा है चंद्रमा रात आधी
रह ना जाए तेरी मेरी बात आधी मुलाकात आधी
आधा है चंद्रमा
The song "Adha Hai Chandrama" is a beautiful duet sung by Asha Bhosle and Mahendra Kapoor. The lyrics describe the incompleteness and longing in love, comparing it to the half-moon that appears in the night sky. The song speaks of a conversation, a meeting, and a desire for completion. It expresses the yearning for the love to be whole and for the conversation to be carried on without interruption.
The opening lines "Dekh Chandrama Adha Hai, Raat Adhi Hai" set the tone of the song, stating that just like the moon is incomplete and the night is only halfway through, so is their conversation and meeting. The lyrics highlight the duality and incompleteness of love and desire.
The second stanza brings in the idea of the language of love, stating that love itself is only half, and one should let the desire of the heart remain half as well. It describes how even the eyes are half open, the eyelids are halfway closed, and there is still rainfall in the eyelashes. This portrays a sense of anticipation and longing for the love to be fulfilled.
The third stanza expresses the hope that the longing will not remain incomplete forever. It questions whether the thirst will ever be quenched and whether the desire will ever be fulfilled. The lyrics mention that even the thirsty winds and the thirsty stars are part of the incomplete celebration of love.
The final stanza refers to the love story of Lord Krishna and Radha, emphasizing that even their love was incomplete. It describes how Radha's eyes are half blossomed and her lips are half trembling, signifying the longing in her heart. The song concludes with the repeated lines, emphasizing that the moon is still halfway and the conversation is not complete yet, echoing the ongoing desire for fulfillment.
Overall, "Adha Hai Chandrama" beautifully captures the bittersweet feeling of incompleteness and longing in love, using the metaphor of the half-moon to symbolize this state.

महान संगीतकार सी रामचंद्रजी का अजरामर गाना. नवरंग फिल्म में लताजी के मधुर स्वर के बिना उन्होने सभी गाने आशाजी से गवाकर फिल्म का संगीत सुपरहीट कर दिखाया. इस गाने के नेपथ्य में एक चूंक हुई है. गाने के बोल है आधा है चंद्रमा, रात आधी. लेकीन गाने में दिखता है की चंद्रमा आधा यानी अष्टमीका नही है, यह बीज या तीज का चांद लगता है.
