aj sabhi ko fikar lagi hai apni apni shan ki
jaisi ab hai aisi kab thi halat hindustan ki
khun kharaba karne walo itna bhi to soch lo
har majhab se unchi hai kimat insani jan ki
chand bujh gaya, chand bujh gaya
chand bujh gaya, chand bujh gaya
o yara o yara o yara o yara o
yara o yara o yara o yara
chand bujh gaya, chand bujh gaya
chand bujh gaya, chand bujh gaya
o yara o yara o yara o yara o
yara o yara o yara o yara

aag me jinda insano ko maine jalta dekha
nanhe munne masumo par maine goli chalte dekha
galiyo galiyo nach rahe hai ban ke vahsi sare
lash ke upar lash bichi hai fute khun ke dhare
asmaa bhi rone laga, asmaa bhi rone laga
khun ke ansu
chandni hai ruthi ruthi nafrat harsu, nafrat harsu
o yara o yara o yara o yara
o yara o yara o yara o yara chand bujh gaya
chand bujh gaya, chand bujh gaya
chand bujh gaya, chand bujh gaya
o yara o yara o yara o yara
o yara o yara o yara o yara

dilo dharam ka leke sahara paas me ladwaye
sara chakkar kursi ka hai log samjh na paye
kaun mara hai kiska lahu hai puch rahi ye rahe
kahi pe sar hai kahi pe dhad hai kahi padi hai bahe
aasma bhi rone laga aasma bhi rone laga
khun ke ansu
chandni hai ruthi ruthi nafrat harsu, nafrat harsu
o yara o yara o yara o yara
o yara o yara o yara o yara chand bujh gaya
chand bujh gaya, chand bujh gaya
chand bujh gaya, chand bujh gaya
o yara o yara o yara o yara
o yara o yara o yara o yara
chand bujh gaya, chand bujh gaya
chand bujh gaya, chand bujh gaya
o yara o yara o yara o yara
o yara o yara o yara o yara
o yera o yara o yara o yara
o yara o yara o yara o yara
o yara o yara o yara o yara

Each now clutches at a fading pride,
When did India's fate so harshly ride?
You who spill blood, pause and reflect,
Human life transcends each creed's divide.

The moon has died, the moon has died,
The moon has died, the moon has died.
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend,
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend.
The moon has died, the moon has died,
The moon has died, the moon has…
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend,
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend.

I've seen the living burn in flames,
Saw bullets pierce the innocent's names.
Wild beasts now dance in every street,
Corpses piled, where rivers of blood meet.
The sky itself begins to weep,
With tears of blood, a sorrow deep.
The moonlight flees, with hate's embrace,
All around, in every place.
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend,
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend. The moon has died,
The moon has died, the moon has died,
The moon has died, the moon has died.
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend,
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend.

Hearts and faiths, a battle's plea,
For power's throne, they cannot see.
Whose blood is shed, whose life is lost?
A head here, a body, a limb is tossed.
The sky itself begins to weep,
With tears of blood, a sorrow deep.
The moonlight flees, with hate's embrace,
All around, in every place.
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend,
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend. The moon has died,
The moon has died, the moon has died,
The moon has died, the moon has died.
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend,
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend.
The moon has died, the moon has died,
The moon has died, the moon has died.
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend,
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend.
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend,
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend.
Oh friend, oh friend, oh friend, oh friend.
