Vishal Mishra’s vocals deliver a soul-stirring blow in Chand Kagaz Ka, a poignant ballad from the film Param Sundari. The song captures the devastating moment of realizing a cherished love was always destined to be temporary. It sets a melancholic mood and explores the sharp pain of discovering that a love, which felt eternal, was built on a fragile foundation.

Param Sundari’s Chand Kagaz Ka Lyrics (with English Translation)
The profound sorrow of the track is fully understood through the translation of Chand Kagaz Ka lyrics. Here, its heartbreaking meaning is revealed. Known for his poetic depth, lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya crafts a powerful central metaphor: the romance was like “four days of moonlight” from a “paper moon.” The song shifts from reflective Hindi verses to a desperate Punjabi plea of “Hanjoo rukde nahi” (the tears don’t stop). This masterfully illustrates a grief so immense it transcends linguistic boundaries.

This theme of shattered illusion is powerfully portrayed on-screen by Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor. The composition by Sachin-Jigar perfectly complements the narrative. A gentle melody slowly builds to reflect the singer’s growing despair. The combination of poetic lyrics and a sorrowful score makes the track a haunting elegy for a love that was beautiful but heartbreakingly ephemeral.
