chand takta hai idhar
chand takta hai idhar aap kahi chup jaye
kahi laage na najar aao kahi chup jaye
chand takta hai idhar

phul sakho se jhuke jaate hotho ki taraf
phul sakho se jhuke jaate hotho ki taraf
jhoke balkhaake mude aate hai
ho mude aate hai julfo ki taraf
chhod kar inki dagar
chhod kar inki dagar aao kahi chup jaye
kahi lage na najar aao kahi chup jaye
chand takta hai idhar

mai hi dekhu sajan duja na dekhe tohe
mai hi dekhu sajan duja na dekhe tohe
ka khabar kaun sautaniya tora
ho sautaniya tora man mohe
dil pe dalo na asar
dil pe dalo na asar aao kahi chup jaye
chand takta hai idhar aao kahi chup jaye
chand takta hai idhar

sari najro se pare sare najaaro se pare
sari najro se pare sare najaaro se pare
aasmano pe chamakte hue
ho chamakte hue taro se pare
odh kar lal chunar
odh kar lal chunar aao kahi chup jaye
kahi lage na najar aao kahi chup jaye
chand takta hai idhar

The moon, it watches here.
Come, let us hide away,
Lest his gaze should find us,
Come, let us hide away.
The moon, it watches here.

Flowers bow from the boughs,
Toward the lips, they yearn,
And breezes, they twist and turn,
Oh, they turn, toward the tresses.
Leaving behind their path,
Leaving behind their path, come, let us hide away,
Lest his gaze should find us,
Come, let us hide away.
The moon, it watches here.

Let me gaze, my love, none other see thee,
Let me gaze, my love, none other see thee,
Who knows what rival, my love,
Oh, rival, might enthrall thy heart?
Cast no spell upon the heart,
Cast no spell upon the heart, come, let us hide away,
The moon, it watches here. Come, let us hide away.
The moon, it watches here.

Beyond all eyes, beyond all sights,
Beyond all eyes, beyond all sights,
Beyond the stars that gleam in the skies,
Oh, that gleam in the skies,
Veiled in a crimson shawl,
Veiled in a crimson shawl, come, let us hide away,
Lest his gaze should find us, come, let us hide away.
The moon, it watches here.
