1 / 5: Mah Laqa Chanda
teer-o-talwaar se baDh kar
hai teri tirchhi nigah
saikDon aashiqon ka
khoon kiye baiThi hai
sharper than blade or bow is
that slanted gaze of yours
and there you sit,
having slayed a millions lovers

2 / 5: Mah Laqa Chanda
daregh chashm-e-karam se
na rakh ki aye zaalim
kare hai dil ko mere
teri yak nazar mahzooz
don't me miserly with your
merciful gaze, o cruel one
just one glance from you
brings joy to my heart

3 / 5: Mah Laqa Chanda
gul ke hone ki tawaqqo pe
jiye baiThi hai
har kali jaan ko
muTThi mein liye baiThi hai
with the fervent hope
of turning into a flower
the bud waits, holding her life
in the palm of her hands

4 / 5: Mah Laqa Chanda
basant aayi hai, mauj-e-rang-e-gul hai
josh-e-sahbaa hai
khuda ke fazl se aish-o-tarab ki
ab kami kya hai?
spring is here, tide of colorful blossoms
and wine flowing with zeal
with god's grace, what is left
wanting in the celebration?

5 / 5: Mah Laqa Chanda
kabhi sayyaad ka khaTka hai
kabhi khauf-e-khizan
bulbul ab jaan
hatheli pe liye baiThi hai
sometimes the fear of the hunter
or, concern of coming autumn
the nightingale waits, afraid,
holding its life in its hands
