Chand Shayari

Moon is a stock image and metaphor of Urdu poetry. It has been treated both as a cliché and a fresh symbol. While it spread its cool light, it remains unreachable. It has been appropriated in many contexts but especially in the romantic and the spiritualist contexts. Here is a selection. Read and enjoy.

us ke chehre chamak ke sāmne saada lagā

āsmāñ pe chāñd puurā thā magar aadhā lagā

us ke chehre ki chamak ke samne sada laga

aasman pe chand pura tha magar aadha laga

Iftikhar Naseem

kal chaudhvīñ raat thī shab bhar rahā charchā tirā

kuchh ne kahā ye chāñd hai kuchh ne kahā chehrā tirā

T'was a full moon out last night, all evening there was talk of you

Some people said it was the moon,and some said that it was you

kal chaudhwin ki raat thi shab bhar raha charcha tera

kuchh ne kaha ye chand hai kuchh ne kaha chehra tera

T'was a full moon out last night, all evening there was talk of you

Some people said it was the moon,and some said that it was you

har ek raat ko mahtāb dekhne ke liye

vo chāñd kah ke gayā thā ki aaj niklegā

Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

mujh ko ma.alūm hai mahbūb-parastī azaab

der se chāñd nikalnā bhī ġhalat lagtā hai

mujh ko malum hai mahbub-parasti ka azab

der se chand nikalna bhi ghalat lagta hai

Ahmad Kamal Parwazi

paañv sākit ho ga.e 'sarvat' kisī ko dekh kar
