Teree pyaaree pyaaree soorat ko
kiseekee nazar na lage
Chashme baddoor
Mukhṛe ko chhupaa lo aȧchal mė
Kaheė meree nazar na lage
Chashme baddoor
Yoȯ na akele phiraa karo
Sabkee nazar se ḍaraa karo
Phool se zyaadaa nazuk ho tum
chaal sambhalkar chalaa karo
Zulfȯ ko giraa lo gaalȯ par
Mausam kee nazar na lage
Chashme baddoor
Ek jhalak jo paataa hai
Raahi vahee ruk jaataa hai
Dekh ke teraa roop salonaa
Chand bhee sar ko jhukaataa hai
Dekhaa na karo tum aainaa kahee
khud kee nazar na lage
Chashme baddoor
May all malicious intent be cast away from your lovely outlook. May God protect you from evil eyes! Just hide your face even to avoid my eyes!
Do not be alone like this. Be afraid of the evil of others. You are more delicate than a flower so be beware of the traps around you. Cover your beautiful face with your hair so that no evil glances can be cast upon you.
If any traveler or passerby gets a glimpse of you, they will be struck with your beauty. Even the moon cannot look at your face or it would be trapped.
Sasural (1961); Mohammed Rafi
