aaj phir chand usne manga hai
aaj phir chāñd us ne māñgā hai
chāñd kā daaġh phir chhupānā hai
Once again he has asked for the moon
The scar in the moon must again be hidden
chāñd kā husn to hai lā-sānī
phir bhī kitnā falak pe tanhā hai
The beauty of the moon is without compare
Yet it is so lonesome in the skies
kaash kuchh aur māñgtā mujh se
chāñd ḳhud gardishoñ kā maarā hai
If only you had asked me for something else
The moon is caught in its own turmoil
duur hai chāñd is zamīñ se bahut
phir bhī har shab tavāf kartā hai
The moon is far, far away from this world
Yet every night it is spinning around in circles
bastiyoñ se nikal ke sahrā meñ
justujū kis kī roz kartā hai
Coming out of the neighbourhoods to go into the wilderness
In whose search does he go night agter night
kis ḳhatā kī sazā milī us ko
kis liye roz ghaTtā baḌhtā hai
For what fault is he being so punished
That he must wax and wane every night
chāñd se ye zamīñ nahīñ tanhā
ai falak tū bhī jagmagāyā hai
The earth is not the only one
The sky too is lit by the moon
aaj tāroñ kī bazm chamkī hai
chāñd par bādaloñ kā saayā hai
The cluster of stars is resplendent today
The moon is covered by the shadow of the clouds
raushnī phuuT niklī misroñ se
chāñd ko jab ġhazal meñ sochā hai
Rediance burst out of my verses
When I potray the moon in my ghazals
aaj phir chand us ne manga hai
chand ka dagh phir chhupana hai
Once again he has asked for the moon
The scar in the moon must again be hidden
chand ka husn to hai la-sani
phir bhi kitna falak pe tanha hai
The beauty of the moon is without compare
Yet it is so lonesome in the skies
kash kuchh aur mangta mujh se
chand KHud gardishon ka mara hai
If only you had asked me for something else
The moon is caught in its own turmoil
dur hai chand is zamin se bahut
phir bhi har shab tawaf karta hai
The moon is far, far away from this world
Yet every night it is spinning around in circles
bastiyon se nikal ke sahra mein
justuju kis ki roz karta hai
Coming out of the neighbourhoods to go into the wilderness
In whose search does he go night agter night
kis KHata ki saza mili us ko
kis liye roz ghaTta baDhta hai
For what fault is he being so punished
That he must wax and wane every night
chand se ye zamin nahin tanha
ai falak tu bhi jagmagaya hai
The earth is not the only one
The sky too is lit by the moon
aaj taron ki bazm chamki hai
chand par baadalon ka saya hai
The cluster of stars is resplendent today
The moon is covered by the shadow of the clouds
raushni phuT nikli misron se
chand ko jab ghazal mein socha hai
Rediance burst out of my verses
When I potray the moon in my ghazals
