Chand Se Parda Kijiye Lyrics English Translation -

Chand se parda kijiye... (Repeat) Verse 4 (The Final, Desperate Whisper) Urdu: Aap ka aks jo taaron pe bikhar jaata hai Translation: When your reflection scatters upon the stars

Aap aaye to ghataon ne liya aanchal apna Translation: When you arrived, the clouds gathered their veils chand se parda kijiye lyrics english translation

Chand se parda kijiye, chand se parda Aap ki zulf-e-daraz aankh mein uljhi jaaye Raat poori ho na paaye, subah na aaye, chand se parda Chand se parda kijiye... The Deeper Meaning (The Story’s End) This ghazal is a masterpiece of romantic hyperbole. The lover does not ask his beloved to veil herself. That would be traditional. Instead, he asks the moon to veil itself. He turns the universe upside down. The celestial body, a symbol of beauty for millennia, is now an intruder. Chand se parda kijiye

The song is not just about jealousy. It is about the agony of sharing. It is about the belief that true beauty belongs only to the one who loves it, and the universe is a trespasser. Here is the translation of the full lyrics, keeping the meter and emotional intensity. Verse 1 (The Opening Command) Urdu: Chand se parda kijiye, chand se parda Translation: Draw the veil from the moon, oh draw the veil from the moon The lover does not ask his beloved to veil herself

Aap jaayein to nadi kinare khade ho jaate hain Translation: When you leave, the riverbanks stand still in longing

Raat poori ho na paaye, subah na aaye, chand se parda Translation: Let the night never end, let the morning never come – draw the veil from the moon (Note: In the first line, the wordplay is critical. "Chand se parda kijiye" literally means "veil yourself from the moon" or "hide the moon." But the lover means: "Moon, put a veil over your face so you cannot see her.") Verse 2 (The Moon as a Rival) Urdu: Aap ke husn ne har cheez ko betaab kar diya Translation: Your beauty has left every thing restless and yearning

Aap ke zulf ke saye mein jo so jaaye koi Translation: If someone falls asleep in the shadow of your tresses
