MAINE POOCHHA CHAND SE
Maine poochha chand se, ke dekha hai kahee mera yaar sa haseen
I asked the moon, have you ever seen anyone as beautiful as my love
Chand ne kaha, chandni kee kasam, nahe nahe nahe
The moon replied, I must admit, there's no one
Maine poochha chand se...
I asked the moon...
Maine yeh hee jaab tera dhoondha, har jagah shabab tera dhoondha
I searched everywhere for a face like you, I looked everywhere for a beauty like you
Kaliyo se misaal teri poochhi, phoolo ne jawab tera dhoondha
I asked the buds to find someone like you, I looked for a flower like you
Maine poochha baag se, falak ho ya jamin, aisa phul hai kahee
I asked the flora, is there a flower like her on heaven or on earth
Baag ne kaha har, kali kee kasam nahe nahe nahe
The flora replied, we must admit, there isn't
Maine poochha chand se...
I asked the moon...
Ho chal hai ke mauj kee rawani, zulf hai ke rat ki kahani
Is that your gait or the waves, are these your tresses or the myth of the night
Honth hain ke aayine kawal ke, ankh hai ke mahka do kee rani
Your lips are like the petals of lotus, your eyes are intoxicating
Maine poochha jaam se, falak ho ya jamin, aisi meh bhi hai kahee
I asked the goblet, is there anyone as alluring as her on heaven or earth
Jaam ne kaha, mehkashi kee kasam nahe nahe nahe
The goblet replied, I must admit, there is no one
Maine poochha chand se...
I asked the moon...
Khubsurati jo tune payi, lut gayi khuda kee bas khudayi
Your beauty made the entire world crazy
Mir ke gajhal kahu tujhe main, ya kahu khaiyyaam kee rubayi
Should I call you beautiful or fatally attractive
Main jo poochhun shayaro se, aisa dil nashi koyi sher hai kahee
I asked poets, is there a poem as passionate as her
Shayar kahe shayari kee kasam, nahi nahi nahi
The poets replied, we must admit, there isn't
Maine poochha chand se...
I asked the moon...
