ae chand nazar na lagana
ae chand nazar na lagana
mera chand salona sota hai
mera chand salona sota hai
mera chand salona sota hai
ae sapne tum mat ana
na neend mein inhe satana

kisi ghayal ke ghar jana
kisi ghayal ke ghar jana
mera chand salona sota hai
mera chand salona sota hai
ae hawa sambhal kar
ae hawa sambhal kar aana
sambhal kar aana
na soya sajan jagana
koyal ne geet sunana hai
koyal ne geet sunana
mera chand salona sota hai

payaliya thumak na jana hai
payaliya thumak na jana
kanganwa khanak na jana hai
kanganwa khanak na jana
na mil kar shor machana
na mil kar shor machana
mera chand salona sota hai
mera chand salona sota hai
mera chand salona sota hai
mera chand salona sota hai

O Moon, cast no shadow,
O Moon, cast no shadow,
My moon, my beloved, slumbers now.
My moon, my beloved, slumbers now.
My moon, my beloved, slumbers now.
O dreams, do not intrude,
Do not disturb his slumber deep.

Go to the wounded's home instead,
Go to the wounded's home instead,
My moon, my beloved, slumbers now.
My moon, my beloved, slumbers now.
O wind, come softly,
O wind, come softly,
Tread gently, ever so gently,
Do not awaken my sleeping love.
The cuckoo sings her song, yes,
The cuckoo sings her song.
My moon, my beloved, slumbers now.

Anklets, do not dance and sway,
Anklets, do not dance and sway,
Bangles, do not tinkle and chime,
Bangles, do not tinkle and chime,
Do not gather and make a noise,
Do not gather and make a noise,
My moon, my beloved, slumbers now.
My moon, my beloved, slumbers now.
My moon, my beloved, slumbers now.
My moon, my beloved, slumbers now.
