Woh Chand Khila, from Anari, is not a song one would attempt to translate L(a)(i)t(er)ally,
because the moon can’t be in bloom (and the stars can’t be smiling).
So, if the song
were to be translated, its opening line should’ve been, “The moon shone, and
the stars twinkled.”
Shailendra must
be thanked for using poetic license to pen the track, which was four minutes
and 13 seconds long.
Ms Mangeshkar
and Mukesh rendered the Shankar Jaikishan composition, which would be the best
song to listen to in the company of a significant other at night.
