In short
Chaudhvin Ka Chand Ho is from the film Chaudhvin Ka Chand (1960). Sung by Mohammed Rafi, music by Ravi, lyrics by Shakeel Badayuni. This is the original soundtrack recording, not a remix or a cover.
Rafi at his most restrained, which is where he was always best. Ravi keeps the arrangement to almost nothing so that the compliment lands without ornament, and Guru Dutt shot it as a man looking at someone asleep. Still the default song for saying someone is beautiful in Hindi.
