Chakor! Lyrics Translation – Ashwin Iyer | Mayank Saini
Ashwin Iyer describes the Chakor’s sleepless yearning for the moon. The poet notes how it quiets inner turmoil to find freedom. The line ‘You’re the moon, and I’ve fallen in love with you’ captures its devotion.
Raat beeti jaayeThe night’s slipping away,
Chakor na soyeThe ‘Chakor’ bird won’t sleep.
Chaand ko taake jaayeIt keeps gazing at the moon,
Bas mann kar hoyeAs its heart’s filled with longing.
Mann mein na bairThere’s no malice in its soul,
Na laalach koiNor any greed;
Chaand hai tuYou’re the moon,
Chaand se preet hoiAnd I’ve fallen in love with you.
Nain jhapak ChakorBlink your eyes, ‘Chakor’,
Madhosh ChakorMesmerized ‘Chakor’.
Chal chal ChakorKeep moving, ‘Chakor’,
Palkein gira keWith your eyelids lowered.
Kar chakorGo on, ‘Chakor’,
Andar ke shorQuiet the turmoil that’s
Ko tu bujhaRaging inside you,
Ho ja riha reyAnd set yourself free.
Raat beeti jaayeThe night’s passing by,
Chakor na soyeThe ‘Chakor’ bird’s still awake.
Chaand ko taake jaayeIt continues to watch the moon,
Bas mann kar hoyeWith a heart full of yearning.
Mann mein na bairThere’s no ill will within,
Na laalach koiNor a trace of greed;
Chaand hai tuYou’re the moon,
Chaand se preet hoiAnd I’m devoted to you.
Hai dard chuppa teri aawaz meinThere’s a hidden pain in your voice,
Har noor chaand na hoveNot every glow is the moon.
Kar pahluu tahi tu andheraEven if you turn away from the dark,
Phir bhi nata hoveA bond still remains.
Hai dard chuppa teri aawaz meinA deep sorrow’s veiled in your song,
Har noor chaand na hoveEvery light isn’t the moon.
Kar pahluu tahi tu andheraThough you avoid the shadows,
Phir bhi nata hoveThe connection’s still there.
Nain jhapak ChakorBlink your eyes, ‘Chakor’,
Madhosh ChakorMesmerized ‘Chakor’.
Chal chal ChakorKeep moving, ‘Chakor’,
Palkein gira keWith your eyelids lowered.
Kar chakorGo on, ‘Chakor’,
Andar ke shorQuiet the turmoil that’s
Ko tu bujhaRaging inside you,
Ho ja riha reyAnd set yourself free.
Saasein thamti jaayeinMy breaths’re slowing down,
Oo nain kyun royeOh, why’re these eyes weeping?
Chaand bhi paas aayeThe moon’s drawing closer now,
Ab khwaab sa hoveIt’s all becoming like a dream.
Mann mein na gairThere’s no stranger in my heart,
Intezaar nahiThe waiting’s over;
Chaand hai tuYou’re the moon,
Ab koi doori nahiAnd there’s no distance anymore.
