chaaNd maddham hai aasmaan chup hai
neeNd kii god meN jahaaN chup hai
chaaNd maddham hai

door waadii meN doodhiyaa baadal
jhuk ke parbat ko pyaar karate haiN 
dil meN naakaam hasarateN lekar
ham teraa iNtazaar karate haiN

in bahaaroN ke saaye meN aajaa
phir mohabbat jawaaN rahe na rahe
zindagii tere naamuraadoN par
kal talak mahar_baan rahe na rahe

roz kii tarah aaj bhii taare
subah kii gard meN na kho jaaye
aa tere Gam meN jaagatii aaNkheN
kam-se-kam ek raat so jaaye
chaaNd maddham hai aasmaan chup hai

aao ki ko_ii Khwaab buneN kal ke waaste

aao ki ko_ii Khwaab buneN kal ke waaste
waranaa ye raat aaj ke sangeen daur kii
Das legii jaan-o-dil ko kuchh aise ki jaan-o-dil
taa-umr phir na ko_ii haseeN Khwaab bun sakeN

The alphabetic song index (A to L and M to Z) have been updated and the lists now reflect all the Sahir songs I have been able track down with the help of some very enthusiastic friends and well-wishers.

The song by movie index is also updated and lists all the movies with the songs written by Sahir. Movies with songs by other lyricists are identified with ***. 

Upcoming changes for September:

• Lyrics of at least 50 songs 
  

The movie index pages have been updated. I believe the list of movies is now complete. Existing lists had the  movies sorted by year, title and music director.  In addition, I have added an index of movies by music director and by year.

I am grateful to  Qaseem Abbasi for providing the information about the Pakistani movies. 

The Film and Song primary pages have been updated. Added a few tables on these pages for better presentation. 

A new table on the Songs page has been added showing the breakdown of songs by singer. Asha Bhonsle leads with 223 songs (solos, duets, group songs combined) followed by Mohd. Rafi (188 songs) and  Lata Mangeshkar (160 songs) .

Now begins the work on the film and song list updates, to be followed by the song lyrics.

Sahir's work in the 70s may not have been as prolific as the 50s or 60s but the songs he gave us are still with us and the lyrics were as distinctive as the ones from the older movies. Here is Sahir in the 1973 movie Joshila with a very popular Kishore Kumar song:

Song : kis kaa rastaa dekhe ai dil ai saudaa_ii
Movie : Joshila
Singer : Kishore Kumar
Music : R. D. Burman
