Chand Rota Raha

Ameer Hasan Aamir

On the plains of Karbala, the moon shines down upon the fallen body of Ali Akbar. It weeps through the night for the young son of Hussain.

Akbar Hai Akbar , Akbar Hai Akbar.

It is Akbar, it is Akbar.

Umme Laila Tere Chaand Ko Dekh Ker, Chaand Rota Raha, Chaand Rota Raha..!!

Umme Laila, upon seeing your moon [son], The moon kept weeping, the moon kept weeping.

Lashe Akbar Pe Maidan Me Raat Bher, Chaand Rota Raha Chaand Rota Raha

All night long upon the battlefield, over the body of Akbar, The moon kept weeping, the moon kept weeping.

1- Bekasi Laash Per Bain Karti Rahi, Khaak Sehra Ki Zakhmo Me Bherti Rahi, Maa Tadapti Rahi Shaam Se Ta Saher, Chaand Rota Raha Chaand Rota Raha

Helplessness kept wailing over the corpse, Filling the wounds with the dust of the desert, The mother kept writhing from evening until dawn, The moon kept weeping, the moon kept weeping.

2- Jalti Reti Pe Ek Lash Zakhmo Se Choor, Uske Chehre Se Zahir Mohammad Ka Noor, Tukde Tukde Payamber Ki Tasveer Per, Chaand Rota Raha Chaan Rota Raha..!!

On the burning sand lay a body, battered by wounds, From his face, the light of Muhammad was visible, Over the shattered image of the Prophet, The moon kept weeping, the moon kept weeping.

3- Maa Ki Fariyaad Se Karbala Hil Gayi, Naujawani Koi Khaak Me Mil Gayi, Rakh Ke Apne Hi Kirno Ke Kandhe Pe Sir, Chaand Rota Raha Chaand Rota Raha..!!

The cry of the mother shook Karbala, A youth had been mingled with the dust, Resting its head upon the shoulder of its own rays, The moon kept weeping, the moon kept weeping.

4- Qatre Shabnam Ke Zakhmo Ko Dhote Rahe , Sheh Ke Yusuf Pe Tare Bhi Rote Rahe Chandni Ban Gayi Dasht Me Nauhager, Chaand Rota Raha Chaand Rota Raha..!!

Dewdrops kept washing the wounds, The stars also wept over the Yusuf of the King [Hussain], The moonlight itself became a mourner in the desert, The moon kept weeping, the moon kept weeping.

5- Karbala Tere Jungle Ki Tarikiyan, Aur Maqtal Me Charo Taraf Siskiyan, Khoo’n Ugalta Raha Ek Zakhm-E-Jigar, Chaand Rota Raha Chaand Rota Raha..!!

The darkness of your wilderness, Karbala, And the sobbing all around the killing field, A wound of the heart kept spewing blood, The moon kept weeping, the moon kept weeping.

6- Jinske Seene Me Uljhi Hui Hai Sina, Jane Kis Ma Aka Hoga Ye Kadiyal Jawa’n, Der Tak Aasma’n Per Yahi Soch Ker, Chaand Rota Raha Chaand Rota Raha..!!

He in whose chest a spear is entangled, I wonder whose mother’s strong youth this is, Thinking just this for a long time in the sky, The moon kept weeping, the moon kept weeping.

7- Khoon Me Tarbater Thi Shabeehe Rasool, Aasman Per The Sare Sitare Malool, Raat Karti Rahi Mastaqil Taye Safar, Chaand Rota Raha Chaan Rota Raha..!!

The likeness of the Prophet was drenched in blood, All the stars in the sky were sorrowful, The night kept continuously completing its journey, The moon kept weeping, the moon kept weeping.

8- Khoon Aankho Se Aamir Bahaya Gaya, Jab Bhi Akhter Ka Noha Sunaya Gaya, Gham Se Phatne Laga Aasma Ka Jigar, Chaand Rota Raha Chaand Rota Raha..!!

Aamir, blood was shed from the eyes, Whenever the Noha of Akhter was recited, From the grief, the heart of the sky began to burst, The moon kept weeping, the moon kept weeping.
