Setting the Background for Translating Khoya Khoya Chand

 

Raghuveer is deeply in love with Alka and looks forward to meeting her later in the evening. As he sets out for this rendezvous, he feels an overwhelming sense of joy, which is perhaps the happiest moments of his life. It appears all of nature shares in his ecstasy: the absent moon, the vast sky, the shimmering stars, and the gentle rain come together in a symphony of celebration. Lyricist Shailendra captures this enchantment beautifully, weaving the elements of the nature into a single, rapturous expression of love and anticipation.

 

The union of nature and emotion is a recurring motif in Hindi film songs. One such gem featured on Bollywood Translations is “Yeh Dil Aur Unki Nigaahon Ke Saaye,” written by Jan Nisar Akhtar. Composed for a female protagonist, its lyrics evoke an even deeper, more passionate longing, revealing love in its most intense and poetic form.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Khoya Khoya Chand

 

Ho ho ho...
Lost is the moon, clear is the sky,
Through my eyes the night will sweep,
You also will not get any sleep.
Ho ho...
Lost is the moon, clear is the sky,
Through my eyes the night will sweep,
You also will not get any sleep.
Ho ho...
Lost is the moon...

 

The playful breeze begins to tease,
The playful breeze begins to tease,
My heart bud blooms with memories,

Excitement springs in mind’s alleys
Now someone call her quickly

O ho ho...
Lost is the moon, clear is the sky,
Through my eyes the night will sweep,
You also will not get any sleep.
Ho ho...
Lost is the moon

 

The twinkling stars enchanting sight,
The twinkling stars enchanting sight,

They flow with me throughout the night

Love’s silent signs their warmth ignite
Now you should be here with me.

O ho ho...
Lost is the moon, clear is the sky,
Through my eyes the night will sweep,
You also will not get any sleep.
Ho ho...

Lost is the moon
Ho ho ho ho ho ho…

 

A gentle drizzle starts to play,
A gentle drizzle starts to play,
Our fingers clasped together sway,
My heart’s secrets to her I’d say
Now do not drive me crazy

O ho ho…
Lost is the moon, clear is the sky,
Through my eyes the night will sweep,
You also will not get any sleep.
Ho ho…
Lost is the moon

 

I’ve given her all that I own,
I’ve given her all that I own,
Silent she stays, a heart of stone,
Will someone tell her I’m alone
Don’t test my love, so cruelly.

O ho ho…
Lost is the moon, clear is the sky,

Through my eyes the night will sweep

You also will not get any sleep
Ho ho…
Lost is the moon

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Khoya Khoya Chand from Kala Bazar

 

Ho ho ho..
Khoya khoya chand khula aasman
Aankhon mein sari raat jayegi

Tumko bhi kaise neend aayegi
Ho ho

Khoya khoya chand khula aasman
Aankhon mein sari raat jayegi
Tumko bhi kaise neend aayegi

Ho ho
Khoya khoya chand

 

Masti bhari hawa jo chali
Masti bhari hawa jo chali
Khil khil gayi yeh dil ki kali
Mann ki gali mein hai khalbali
Ke unko toh bulao

 

O ho ho
Khoya khoya chand khula aasman
Aankhon mein sari raat jayegi
Tumko bhi kaise neend aayegi

Ho ho
Khoya khoya chand

 

Tare chale najare chale
Tare chale najare chale
Sang sang mere woh sare chale
Charo taraf ishare chale
Kisi ke toh ho jao

 

O ho ho
Khoya khoya chand khula aasman
Aankho mein sari raat jayegi
Tumko bhi kaise neend aayegi

Ho ho
Ho ho ho ho ho ho..
Khoya khoya chand

 

Aisi hi raat bheegi si raat
Aisi hi raat bheegi si raat
Hatho me hath hote woh sath

Keh lete unse dil ki yeh baat
Ab toh naa satao

 

O ho ho
Khoya khoya chand khula aasman
Aankhon mein sari raat jayegi
Tumko bhi kaise neend aayegi

Ho ho
Khoya khoya chand

 

Hum mit chale jinke liye
Hum mit chale hai jinke liye
Bin kuchh kahe woh chup chup rahe

Koyi jara yeh unse kahe,
Naa aise aajmao

 

O ho ho
Khoya khoya chand, khula aasman
Aankhon mein sari raat jayegi,
Tumko bhi kaise neend aayegi
Ho ho
Khoya khoya chand
Khoya khoya chand

 

 

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Khoya Khoya Chand

 

The lost moon the open sky

The entire night will pass through my eyes

How will you also get sleep

 

The playful breeze picks up

The bud of my heart has blossomed

There is excitement in the mind’s lanes

Someone please call her

 

The stars move along, so do the sights

They all move along with me

All around the signs indicate

Now belong to someone

 

A rainy night like this

If she was with me hand in hand

I would tell her secrets of my heart

Do not tease me now

 

For whom I have given everything

Without saying a word she remains silent

Someone please tell her

Not to test me in this manner
