bane chandani ka palana
jhule chanda sa lalana
bane chandani ka palana
jhule chanda sa lalana
chandar kiran ki dor lage
tara rat ke phul jaage
pawan jhakhore aan jhulave
priya aakar lori gave
sarad dulari chand raat ho
khilra ho jiwan
parbhat lalana palna lalana palna
bane chandani ka palana
jhule chanda sa lalana

A cradle of moonlit gleam,
A moon-child, swaying in dream.
A cradle of moonlit gleam,
A moon-child, swaying in dream.

With moonbeams spun for a thread,
Star-blooms awaken, softly spread.
The wind, a gentle, whispering hand,
Fairies gather, to understand,
And sing a lullaby's sweet refrain,
On a winter's night, bathed in the moon's domain.
Life unfurls, a blossoming rose,
Dawn's crimson light gently glows.
Moon-child, cradle, moon-child, cradle,
A cradle of moonlit gleam,
A moon-child, swaying in dream.
