Chaand (Tu Jo Dekh Le) Lyrics – Chaar Diwaari & Encore ABJ – PARVANA [EP]

Chaand (Tu Jo Dekh Le) Lyrics in English Translation

Chaand akela gaaye, soche jaaye
(“The moon sings alone, lost in thought”)
Taaron me koi mera naam
(“Among the stars, is any name of mine?”)
Kyun akela, main haaye
(“Why am I alone like this… oh why”)
Aisa kya ho jaaye
(“What could possibly happen”)
Ki tu jo dekhle zara
“That if you would just look my way”)
Zaalima, zaalima-aa-aa
(“Cruel one… oh cruel one”)
Tu jo dekhle zara
(“If only you’d look at me once”)
Zaalima, zaalima-aa-aa
(“Cruel one… oh cruel one”)
Tu jo dekhle zara
(“If only you’d look at me once”)

Premi ek dusre se kehte nahi thakte
(“Lovers never tire of saying to each other”)
Ki mujhe tumse prem hai
(“That I’m in love with you”)
Mujhe tumse prem hai
(“I’m in love with you”)
Ki unhe dar hai
(“But they’re afraid”)
Ke ham yaha jalte hi rahe
(“That here we’ll keep burning in this pain”)
Aur doosri taraf pata hi na chalu
(“While the other side never even comes to know”)

Jaise jaise likhu kaagaz pe yeh akshar
(“As I keep writing these letters on paper”)
Aisa lagata hai mujhe ke aksar
(“It often feels to me that”)
Tujhe dil ki baate kehne ke kho deta hu avsar
(“I lose every chance to tell you my heart”)
Ye pehli-aakhri baar hai
(“This is the first and the final time”)
Dil ka mere haal
(“These are the conditions of my heart”)
Dil ka meri ye akhbaar hai
(“This is my heart’s own newspaper”)
Eklauta aakhirkaar hai
(“A lone, final edition”)
Tu faadiyo na padh kar
(“Please don’t tear it after reading”)
Agar ye koi padh raha hai
(“If someone is reading this now”)
Toh ye woh pehle hi samjhta hai
(“Then they already understand”)
Ki maine karli aatmhatya hai
(“That I have taken my own life”)
Mein Mar chuka hu me agni me jhulaskar
(“I’ve died, burnt away in the flames”)
Ye koi suicide note nahi
(“This isn’t a suicide note”)
Ye glue tight rope hai
(“This is a glue-tight rope”)
Crude Dark Joke Me
(“A crude, dark joke—me”)
Me ek blue white hope hai
(“Yet I’m also a blue-white hope”)
Mein bachpan se hi rehta bhot chup tha
(“Since childhood I stayed very quiet”)
Apni baate keh nahi pata toh khud me chhip tha
(“Unable to express myself, I hid inside myself”)
Agar tu ye padhte-padhte soche
(“If while reading this you wonder”)
Ye likha kavita jaisa kyun woh isliye
(“Why this reads like a poem, it’s because”)
Ki mein hu kavita likhta
(“I’m someone who writes poetry”)
Jiske liye ye mein likha main ye pyaar ki zabani
(“For whom I wrote this—my language of love”)
Sala usey padhne ki main maangta reh gya bhiksha
(“Damn, I kept begging her to read it”)
Aur aakhirkaar paas aayi, lekin faad diye panne
(“She finally came close, but tore the pages apart”)
Usne muh ke aage aage kaat diye kanne
(“She ripped them right before my face”)
Abhi chaand hai akela
(“Now the moon stands alone”)
Aur udas hai woh sachme
(“And truly, it’s grieving”)
Taaron me jo kiya uske khukhaar se hai sadme
(“The stars are shocked by her cruelty”)
Bhai meri chhod
(“Brother, leave my story aside”)
Ye shabd hai tere liye
(“These words are meant for you”)
Abhi agar tu padh chuka
(“If you’ve read till this point”)
Jo bhi likha upar sab
(“Everything written above”)
Toh mein marke bhi amar hu
(“Then even in death, I’m immortal”)
Sachme ban chuka hu kavi
(“Truly, I’ve become a poet”)
Kabhi mile toh batana
(“If we ever meet, tell me”)
Ki ye kavita kaisi lagi
(“How you liked this poem”)

Chaand akela gaaye, soche jaaye
(“The moon sings alone, lost in thought”)
Taaron me koi mera naam
(“Among the stars, is any name of mine?”)
Kyun akela, main haaye
(“Why am I alone like this… oh why”)
Aisa kya ho jaaye
(“What could possibly happen”)
Ki tu jo dekhle zara
(“If only you’d look at me once”)
Zaalima, zaalima-aa-aa
(“Cruel one… oh cruel one”)
Tu jo dekhle zara
(“If only you’d look at me once”)
Zaalima, zaalima-aa-aa
(“Cruel one… oh cruel one”)
Tu jo dekhle zara
(“If only you’d look at me once”)
(Zaalima, zaalima, tu jo dekhle zara, zaalima, zaalima-aa-aa, tu jo)
(“(Zaalima, cruel one, if you’d just look at me once…)”)

Chamakte chaand ko mein
(“The shining moon—I’d gather it in my hands”)
Haatho me yu bharlu
(“Holding it gently like this”)
Ae raat andhi tu ho jaaye
(“O night, may you turn blind to all else”)
Damakta suraj peeke
(“Drinking the blazing sun”)
Ambar me aise jalu
(“I’d burn in the sky this way”)
Kirano se koi Bach na paaye
(“Where no one can escape the rays”)
Kuch ahesas Mujhko bhi ho
(“Let me feel something too…”)
Kuch ahesas Tujhko bhi ho
(“…and let you feel something as well”)
Kuch mein aisa kahu tu sun jo paaye
(“Let me say something you can finally hear”)
Sheher me jab raat ho
(“When night falls over the city”)
Bas apni baat ho
(“Let it be just about us”)
Ke mein aise maru
(“That I die in such a way”)
Ham amar ho jaaye
(“That together, we become immortal”)

Chaand akela gaaye, soche jaaye
(“The moon sings alone, lost in thought”)
Taaron me koi mera naam
(“Among the stars, is any name of mine?”)
Kyun akela, main haaye
(“Why am I alone like this… oh why”)
Aisa kya ho jaaye
(“What could possibly happen”)
Ki tu jo dekhle zara-aaaaa
(“If only you’d look at me once—aaah”)

Aisi woh jwaala ho
(“Let there be such a flame”)
Jahan ham do Dil se Dil mile
(“Where the two of us meet heart to heart”)
Agni ki varsha ho
(“Let fire rain endlessly”)
Parvana jalta hi rahe
(“And the moth keep burning still”)
Aisi woh jwaala ho
(“Let there be such a flame”)
Jahan ham do Dil se Dil mile
(“Where the two of us meet heart to heart”)
