Lyrics :- Hindi
चौदहवीं का चांद हो, या आफताब हो
जो भी हो तुम खुदा की कसम, लाजवाब हो
चौदहवीं का चांद हो, या आफताब हो
जो भी हो तुम खुदा की कसम, लाजवाब हो
जवानियां ये मस्त-मस्त बिन पिये हसीन हैं
ये शराब हो तो खूब हो, ये शराब हो तो खूब हो
चौदहवीं का चांद हो, या आफताब हो
जो भी हो तुम खुदा की कसम, लाजवाब हो
फूल बन के मुस्कान, तारो में चमक
आसमान में वो चांद है, और भी है सितारे
जो भी हो तुम खुदा की कसम, लाजवाब हो
चौदहवीं का चांद हो, या आफताब हो
जो भी हो तुम खुदा की कसम, लाजवाब हो
बादलों में चुपके के, प्यार का छुपा के कहना
तुमसे प्यार है कौन, वो हमारा नहीं है कोई
चौदहवीं का चांद हो, या आफताब हो
जो भी हो तुम खुदा की कसम, लाजवाब हो
जवानियां ये मस्त-मस्त बिन पिये हसीन हैं
ये शराब हो तो खूब हो, ये शराब हो तो खूब हो
चौदहवीं का चांद हो, या आफताब हो
जो भी हो तुम खुदा की कसम, लाजवाब हो
Lyrics :- English
Chaudhvin ka chand ho, ya aftaab ho
Jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam, lajawaab ho
Chaudhvin ka chand ho, ya aftaab ho
Jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam, lajawaab ho
Jawaaniyaan yeh mast-mast bin piye haseen haan
Yeh sharaab ho toh khoob ho, yeh sharaab ho toh khoob ho
Chaudhvin ka chand ho, ya aftaab ho
Jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam, lajawaab ho
Phool ban ke muskurana, taaro mein chamakna
Aasmaan mein vo chaand hai, aur bhi hai sitaare
Jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam, lajawaab ho
Chaudhvin ka chand ho, ya aftaab ho
Jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam, lajawaab ho
Baadalon mein chhupke ke, pyaar ka chhupa ke kehna
Tumse pyaara hai kaun, vo hamara nahi hai koi
Chaudhvin ka chand ho, ya aftaab ho
Jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam, lajawaab ho
Jawaaniyaan yeh mast-mast bin piye haseen haan
Yeh sharaab ho toh khoob ho, yeh sharaab ho toh khoob ho
Chaudhvin ka chand ho, ya aftaab ho
Jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam, lajawaab ho
