CHAND CHUPA BADAL MEIN

Chorus:
chaa.nd chhupaa baadal me.n sharmaake merii jaanaa...	My beloved puts the moon to shame.
siine se lag jaa tuu balkhaake merii jaanaa	Wind yourself in my embrace, my love.
gumsum sa hai gupchup sa hai madhosh hai khaamosh hai	It's quiet, intimate, intoxicating, still
yeh samaa haa.n yeh samaa kuchh aur hai	This moment is unparalleled
Chorus
nazdiikiyaa.n barh jaane de	Let our proximity increase!
are nahii.n baaba nahii.n abhii nahii.n nahii.n nahii.n	No way, not right now, no no no!
ye duuriyaa.n miT jaane de	Let these distances between us be erased.
are nahii.n baaba nahii.n abhii nahii.n nahii.n nahii.n	No way, not right now, no no no!
duur se hii tum jii bharke dekho	Gaze at me to your heart's content -- from a distance!
tum hii kaho kaise duur se dekhuu.n	You tell me: how can I look at you from afar?
chaa.nd ko jaise dekhta chakor hai	The same way the partridge [who, in myth, lives on moonbeams] beholds the moon.
ae gumsum sa hai gupchup sa hai madhosh hai khaamosh hai	Oh, it's quiet, intimate, intoxicating, still
yeh samaa haa.n yeh samaa kuchh aur hai	This moment is unparalleled
Chorus
aa jaa re aa jaa cha.ndaa ki jab tak tuu na aa'egaa	Come out, come out, moon; until you come out,
sajana ke chehare to dekhne yeh man tarsa jaa'ega	this heart shall long to behold its beloved's face! [This song is being sung during Kadwa Chauth.]
naa naa cha.ndaa tuu nahii.n aana tuu jo aaya to	No, no, moon, don't come out, should you come,
sanam sharmaake kahii.n chalaa jaa'e na	my love will get embarrassed and run off.
aa jaa re aa jaa cha.ndaa	Come out, come out, moon!
tuu laakh du'aa'e.n paa'ega	You'll receive a hundred thousand blessings.
naa naa cha.ndaa tuu nahii.n aana varna sanam chalaa jaa'ega	No, no, moon, don't come out, or else my love will run away!
aa.nchal me.n tuu chup jaane de	Let me hide myself in your veil!
are nahii.n baabaa nahii.n baabaa nahii.n nahii.n nahii.n	Hey, no way, no no no!
zulfo.n me.n tuu khol jaane de	Spread your hair across me!
are nahii.n baabaa nahii.n abhii nahii.n nahii.n nahii.n	Hey, no way, no no no!
pyaar to naam hai sabr ka hamdam	Love's name is patience, darling.
voh bhalaa bolo kaise kare.n ham	You tell me how in the world I can be patient!
saawan kii raah jaise dekhe mor hai	The same way that the peacock watches for the path of the monsoon.
ae rahne bhii do jaane bhii do ab chhoDo na muu.nh moDo na	Hey, let me be; let me go; release me; don't sulk.
yeh samaa haa.n yeh samaa kuchh aur hai	This moment is unparalleled.
aaya re aaya cha.ndaa ki har khwaahish puurii hogii	The moon emerged, it emerged, so every wish will be granted:
chaa.ndanii raat me.n har sajanii apne sajana ko dekhegii	In the moonlit night, each lover will gaze upon her beloved.
