Yeh husn ka aalam hai, aur meri wafayein hain

The song "Chand Se Parda Kijiye" (चाँद से पर्दा कीजिए), famously sung by and later reprised by Ghulam Ali , is a timeless ghazal that blends coy romance with celestial imagery. Literally meaning "Draw a Curtain from the Moon," the lyrics playfully suggest hiding one’s beauty from the moon itself, because the moon might feel jealous.

Chand se parda kijiye, chand se parda Aap ki zulfein kahan, aap ka rukhsaar kahan Chand se parda kijiye, chand se parda Chand se parda kijiye, kahin chand na sharma

The key to a "better" English translation lies not in word-for-word substitution, but in conveying the soul of the poetry. Here is why this version aims to be an improvement:

❌ “Cover the moon” ✅ “Uncover the moon” or “Draw the veil away from the moon”

Here's a better English translation of the lyrics: Literally meaning "Draw a Curtain from the Moon,"

| | Transliteration | Literal English Translation | Interpretive / Poetic Translation | |------------------------------|--------------------|--------------------------------|----------------------------------------| | चाँद से पर्दा कीजिए | chaand se parda kijiye | Draw a veil from the moon. | Take the veil off the moon. | | चाँद से पर्दा कीजिए | (repeat) | | Uncover the moon, | | चाँदनी रात आई है | chaandni raat aayi hai | The moonlit night has arrived. | For tonight is a moonlit night. |

"Is the moon really that jealous?" she teased, though her voice wavered.
