Chand Se Parda Kijiye Lyrics English Translation Best Review

The beauty of this ghazal lies in its central metaphor:

"Chand Se Parda Kijiye" is a popular Bollywood song from the movie "Karva Chauth" (1981), sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Aziz. The song was written by Qamar Jalalabadi and composed by Khayyam.

Chehre pe chehra daliye Cast a mask upon your face (referring to the veil) Dil pe kya zaroorat hai Why is there a need upon the heart? Hum tumhe dekh kar yahi sochen Seeing you, we think only this: Chalta phirta gharahi haseeno ka chaman You are a walking garden of beauties... Mausam kahan se laya jaye From where can such a season be brought?
