खोया खोया चाँद खुला आसमान
आँखों में सारी रात जायेगी
तुम को भी कैसे नींद आयेगी
हो खोया खोया चाँद खुला आसमान
आँखों में सारी रात जायेगी
तुम को भी कैसे नींद आयेगी
हो खोया खोया चाँद
मस्ती भरी हवा जो चली
मस्ती भरी हवा जो चली
खिल खिल गयी ये दिल की कली
मन की गली में है खलबली
कि उनको तो बुलाओ
हो खोया खोया चाँद खुला आसमान
आँखों में सारी रात जायेगी
तुम को भी कैसे नींद आयेगी
हो खोया खोया चाँद
तारे चले नज़ारे चले
तारे चले नज़ारे चले
संग संग मेरे वो सारे चले
चारों तरफ इशारे चले
किसी के तो हो जाओ
हो हो खोया खोया चाँद
खुला आसमान
आँखों में सारी रात जायेगी
तुम को भी कैसे नींद आयेगी
हो खोया खोया चाँद हो हो ओ
ऐसी ही रात भीगी सी रात
ऐसी ही रात भीगी सी रात
हाथो में हाथ होते वो साथ
कह लेते उनसे दिल की ये बात
अब तो ना सताओ
आँखों में सारी रात जायेगी
तुम को भी कैसे नींद आयेगी
हो खोया खोया चाँद
हम मिट चले जिनके लिए
हम मिट चले जिनके लिए
बिन कुछ कहे वो चुप चुप रहे
कोई ज़रा ये उनसे कहे
ना ऐसे आजमाओ
हो खोया खोया चाँद खुला आसमान
आँखों में सारी रात जायेगी
तुम को भी कैसे नींद आयेगी
हो खोया खोया चाँद
खोया खोया चाँद खोया खोया चाँद
खोया खोया चाँद खोया खोया चाँद खोया खोया चाँद

मन की गली में है खलबली
There is chaos in the alley of my heart
कि उनको तो बुलाओ
That I should call out to them
तारे चले नज़ारे चले

हाथो में हाथ होते वो साथ
When our hands were held together
कह लेते उनसे दिल की ये बात
We would have shared our hearts
अब तो ना सताओ
But now, don't torture me
हम मिट चले जिनके लिए
We have been sacrificed for those
बिन कुछ कहे वो चुप चुप रहे
Those who remain silent without saying anything
कोई ज़रा ये उनसे कहे
Someone should say this to them
ना ऐसे आजमाओ
Don't try to test me like this
खोया खोया चाँद खोया खोया चाँद
The lost moon has gone missing
खोया खोया चाँद खोया खोया चाँद खोया खोया चाँद
The lost moon has gone missing

Singing in real nature is really missing nowadays
@BrototiDasgupta
The melody , simple soulfullyrics , depth of voices ,...... that perhaps is missing . The shelf life of many yesteryear melodies are decades ......that's really remarkable.
Perhaps a reflection of times too - life was comparatively simple , society a tad more peaceful .
