The hero complains the moonlight is disturbing him. The heroine sarcastically suggests he wear sunglasses. The hero then switches to a romantic ultimatum: either the moon goes, or he goes. The song climaxes with the iconic line: "Chand se parda kijiye, warna main parda karunga" – "Veil the moon, or I will veil myself (and leave)."
The title translates to "Draw a Curtain from the Moon" or "Cover the Moon with a Veil." The song is a playful, yet passionate, confrontation between a lover (Aamir Khan) and his beloved (Juhi Chawla) under a full moon. The central metaphor is simple but profound: the moon’s light is so intense that it stands between two lovers, preventing them from embracing the darkness needed for intimacy.
"Let it be, don't tease me, beloved. Don't look at me in the mirror, beloved. I'm feeling shy, what should I do? Stop, please stop."
