chand ke pyale se hai, chhalki hui ye chandani
chand ke pyale se hai, chhalki hui ye chandani
reshmi aanchal si hai, dhalki hui ye chandni
chand ke pyale se hai, chhalki hui ye chandani

jab ye chaha baadalo ne, wo chhupa le chand ko
jab ye chaha baadalo ne, wo chhupa le chand ko
baadalo par hans padi, jhalki hui ye chandani
baadalo par hans padi, jhalki hui ye chandani
reshmi aanchal si hai, dhalki hui ye chandni
chand ke pyale se hai, chhalki hui ye chandani

jis ghadi maine suna, tum milne aagoe nahin
jis ghadi maine suna, tum milne aagoe nahin
saanwali raat ho gayi, halki hui ye chandani
saanwali raat ho gayi, halki hui ye chandani
reshmi aanchal si hai, dhalki hui ye chandni
chand ke pyale se hai, chhalki hui ye chandani

jaane kal kya keh diya, tumne ke jhum uthi fiza
jaane kal kya keh diya, tumne ke jhum uthi fiza
aaj bhi maddham nahin, kal ki hui ye chandani
aaj bhi maddham nahin, kal ki hui ye chandani
reshmi aanchal si hai, dhalki hui ye chandni
chand ke pyale se hai, chhalki hui ye chandani

From the moon's own chalice, spilled, this silver light,
From the moon's own chalice, spilled, this silver light,
A silken veil, it falls through the night,
From the moon's own chalice, spilled, this silver light.

When the clouds desired to hide the moon's bright face,
When the clouds desired to hide the moon's bright face,
On the clouds it laughed, this silver grace,
On the clouds it laughed, this silver grace,
A silken veil, it falls through the night,
From the moon's own chalice, spilled, this silver light.

The moment I heard, you wouldn't come to me,
The moment I heard, you wouldn't come to me,
The night grew dark, dimmed, this silver decree,
The night grew dark, dimmed, this silver decree,
A silken veil, it falls through the night,
From the moon's own chalice, spilled, this silver light.

What words you spoke, the breeze began to sway,
What words you spoke, the breeze began to sway,
Still bright today, from yesterday, this silver lay,
Still bright today, from yesterday, this silver lay,
A silken veil, it falls through the night,
From the moon's own chalice, spilled, this silver light.
