तू चाँद मेरे जीवन का

'Tu Chand Mere Jeevan Ka' is the romantic duet of Mera Khwab (1943), sung by its leads Prakash and Zebunnisa — one of only three songs in the film with documented singer credits. With its image of the beloved as the moon of one's life, it is the soundtrack's central love song. The music was Ghulam Mohammed's first as an independent composer, the words M.E. Ashq's.

As a duet from Ghulam Mohammed's maiden score, the song would have followed the call-and-response romantic format of the early 1940s — interlacing male and female voices over a gentle tabla-and-sarangi bed, the composer's percussion training keeping the rhythm clean and unobtrusive beneath the melody.
