chaudahavi ka chaand ho ya aafatab ho
jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam lajawab ho
chaudahavi ka chaand ho ya aafatab ho
jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam lajawab ho
chaudahavi ka chaand ho

zulfe hai jaise kaandho pe baadal jhuke huye
aankhe hai jaise mayke pyale bhare huye
masti hai jis me pyar ki tum wo sharab ho
chaudahavi ka chaand ho

chehara hai jaise jhil me hasta hua kaval
ya zindagi ke saaj pe chhedi hui gazal
jaane bahaar tum kisi shayar ka khwab ho
chaudahavi ka chaand ho

hotho pe khelti hai tabassum ki bijaliya
sajade tumhari raah me karati hai kahkasha
duniya-e-husn-o-ishq ka tum hi shabab ho
chaudahavi ka chaand ho

Whether the fourteenth moon or the sun's bright gleam,
Whatever you are, by God, a wondrous dream.
Whether the fourteenth moon or the sun's bright gleam,
Whatever you are, by God, a wondrous dream,
Like the fourteenth moon.

Your tresses fall, like clouds upon your grace,
Your eyes, like goblets, overflowing space,
With love's sweet madness, a wine that makes me rave,
Like the fourteenth moon.

Your face, a lotus, laughing on a lake's embrace,
Or a gazal's song upon life's vibrant pace,
O Spring's own essence, a poet's reverie,
Like the fourteenth moon.

Upon your lips, a smile's electric play,
The Milky Way bows low along your way,
Of beauty's world and love, you are the bloom,
Like the fourteenth moon.
