"A Love Song..."

"Chaudhvin Ka Chand"

Performed by Mohammad Rafi

From the 1960 film of the same title, starring Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman

Chaudhvin ka chand ho, ya aaftaab ho

Jo bhi ho tum Khuda ki kasam, laajawab ho

Chaudhvin ka chand ho...

Are you the full moon, or the sun?

Whatever you are, I swear to God, you are beyond compare!

Zulfein hain jaise kaandhon pe baadal jhuke hue

Aankhen hain jaisi mey ke peyaale bhare hue

Masti hai jis mein pyar ki, tum woh sharaab ho

Chaudhvin ka chand ho...

Your hair is like a soft cloud kissing your shoulders

Your eyes are like two goblets

And you are the wine that fills them with a zest for love.

Chehra hai jaise jheel mein hansta hua kanwal

Ya zindagi ke saaz pe chaidi hui ghazal

Jaane bahaar tum kisi shaayar ka khwaab ho

Chaudhvin ka chand ho...

Your face is like a beautiful lake on which your smile is a blooming lotus flower

Or, it is like an ode from the instrument of life

My dear, you are a poet's dream.

Honthon pe khelti hain tabassum ki bijiliyaan

Sajde tumhaari raah mein karti hain kaikashaan

Duniya-e-husno ishq ka tum hi shabaab ho

Chaudhvin ka chand ho, ya aaftab ho

Jo bhi ho tum Khuda ki kasam, lajawaab ho...

Your smile is lightning upon your lips

Upon your entrance, any group of people will fall to the ground, overwhelmed.

Of all the beauties in the world, you are the epitome.

Are you are a full moon, or the sun?

Whatever you are, my God you are incomparable!
