Chand Se Parda Kijiye Lyrics English Translation ✓
Woh ujala andheron ko bhi raas aata hai Translation: That very light becomes pleasing even to the darkness
Aap ki aankh se kaajal nahi maanga jaata Translation: One does not ask for kohl from your eyes – they are beyond that
Aap ke zulf ke saye mein jo so jaaye koi Translation: If someone falls asleep in the shadow of your tresses chand se parda kijiye lyrics english translation
Ya khuda, aap ne kya khoob sitam dhaaya hai Translation: Oh God, what exquisite tyranny you have unleashed
Chaand tak aap ka deewana hai, kya kya kar diya Translation: Even the moon has become your mad lover – look what you have done Woh ujala andheron ko bhi raas aata hai
Aap aaye to ghataon ne liya aanchal apna Translation: When you arrived, the clouds gathered their veils
In his culture, modesty is paramount. A beloved woman hides her face behind a veil ( parda ). But the moon, that shameless voyeur, pours its silver light onto her window, her hands, her cheeks. It violates her privacy. It steals glimpses that only the lover should have. It violates her privacy
Raat ki chaadar-e-abres pe shabnam ki jagah Translation: In place of dew on the embroidered sheet of night
Aap ke saamne diye jalte nahin, jalte nahin Translation: In front of you, lamps do not burn, they simply refuse to burn
Uski neendein na koi chaand se, na khwabon se Translation: His slumber will need neither the moon nor any dreams
