Chand Chand Sai Dikhte Hain Naat – چاند چاند سے دکھتے ہیں
“Chand Chand Sai Dikhte Hain” is a heartfelt Urdu Naat that beautifully describes the radiant beauty and noble character of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The poet uses the metaphor of the moon (chand) — the most beautiful and luminous object in the night sky — to convey that the Prophet’s ﷺ blessed face outshines even the brightest moons. Every verse is overflowing with ishq-e-Rasool (love for the Prophet), making it a beloved Naat recited in Mehfil-e-Naat gatherings around the world.
This Naat reminds us that when we look at the Prophet ﷺ, we see a light that no worldly beauty can match. The moon, though beautiful, is humbled in comparison to the Noor-e-Mujassam (embodied light) of the Beloved of Allah.
Chand Chand Sai Dikhte Hain – Full Urdu Lyrics
چاند چاند سے دکھتے ہیں، چاند تیرے چہرے میں
چاندنی راتیں جھلکیں، جلوہ تیرے چہرے میں
ایک جھلک دیکھا جس نے، سو بار سجدے میں گیا
خوب رخ تیرا واللہ، کیا اثر ہے چہرے میں
نور کے پہاڑ ہیں گویا، سر پہ تاجِ مصطفیٰ
تابشِ رخِ انور سے، چاند تکتا ہے گھڑے میں
آنکھوں میں بسے ہو تم، دل میں اترے ہو مگر
دل دھڑکتا ہے تیرے نام سے، ہے اثر چہرے میں
دیکھ کر تیرا رخ انور، بھول جائیں سارے غم
رحمتوں کے بادل برسیں، جب نظر ہو چہرے میں
یوں تو روشن ہیں سبھی، تیرے جمال کے چراغ
پر تمہارے نور کا اک، اور ہی ہے ڈھب چہرے میں
ساتھ لے کر آئے ہو، کیسی کیسی نعمتیں
رحمتِ کامل کو پانے، خوب رکھتا ہے سب چہرے میں
🍃
