Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Well I always thought it meant, 'kisi ki nazar na lagey' as the song goes.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Dear All, Chashme -bad-door is actually a sort of charm literally translated it will be Bhagwan tumhe buri nazar se bachaye. It is very common to see the grand parents of sick infants saying that Bachhe ko kisi ki nazar lag gai hai.And yes there are methods to remove the effects according to them and paediatricians do not get the credit for treated patients !

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Anshu, you are almost correct. " buri nazar door rahe " or " buri nazar se bachaye " will really mean that kisi ki nazar na lage...

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Thanks Kishore (and everyone else who replied) :-) That was my daughter's question after she heard a remix of the song :-D I take it now that it means " a sight you would like to keep close (or close to the heart) and never far from you " as Kishore says... And could also mean " kissi ki buri nazar na lage " . The latter actually I had eliminated because it is already said in the same line in the song " teri pyari pyair surat ko kissi ki nazar na lage... chashme buddoor... " So I'm more inclined to believe Kishore... it implies " someone or something extremely beautiful " through the literal translation " a sight you would like to keep close (or close to the heart) and never far from you " . I hope I got it right? :-) Ravin '82 > Chashme mean through the vision. > Bad in Urdu or Farsi mean bad > Door means far away > > Taken together, it means that a vision that you would like to be near and > never far. > > i,e, someone beautiful. > > Kishore Shah 1974 > > > Chashme Buddoor > > > Any idea what " chashme buddoor " literally means?
