This is a song with some beautiful poetry, where a full moon night is compared to the girl's face and movements of the face are all termed as actions of the night itself.

Poore chaand
Ae poore chand..

Full moon,
O full moon..

Poore chaand ki ye aadhi raat hai
Tere chehre pe aa ke ruk jati hai

This is mid of full moon night,
It comes and stops at your face..

Jeeti hai utni
Jeeti hai utni jitni guzar jaati hai
Pure chaand ki yeh aadhi raat hai
Pure chand ki yeh aadhi

It [the night] lives just as much as it passes..
[that is, every moment passed of the night is lived to the full]
This is mid of a full moon night..

Gaalon ke halke se mod pe
Do pal ko palkein odh ke
Sharmaati hai, jhuk jaati hai
Tere chehre pe aake ruk jaati hai

On the slight turn of the cheeks,
it covers itself with the eyelids for a moment,
feels shy, and bows down [with the eyelids, as the eyes close]
it comes and stops at your face..

Jeeti hai utni
Jeeti hai utni jitni ghuzar jaati hai
Poore chaand ki ye aadhi raat hai
Poore chand ki ye aadhi

Poore chaand
Ae poore chand
