chnda chnda dur gagan me bulaye
aur chakor aur chakor pahunch na paye
kya prit ne hai ye khel rachaye
main kya janu main na manu
main kya janu main na manu main na manu

pankhadin ban kali nirali
jo panrash ki gagari thame
pyasa bhanvra pyas bhujhaye pyas bhujhaye
kya prit ne hai ye khel rachaye
main kya janu main na manu
main kya janu main na manu main na manu

nain bavre nain bavre pardeshi ke
jis din dekhe sapna kisi ke
sapne kab sach hote haye
sapne kab sach hote haye
kya prit ne hai ye khel rachaye
main kya janu main na manu
main kya janu main na manu main na manu

chnda dur gagan me bulaye
aur chakor pahunch na paye
kya preet ne hai ye khel rachaye
main kya janu main na manu
main kya janu main na manu main na manu

Moon, Moon, beckons from the endless blue,
While Chakora birds can never reach, it's true.
What game has Love so cleverly designed?
How can I know? My heart's unconfined.
How can I know? No, I don't believe, no.

A lotus bud, a maiden in the night,
Holds the full moon's gourd, a silver light.
A thirsty bee, his thirst he can't assuage,
What game has Love upon the world to stage?
How can I know? My heart's unconfined.
How can I know? No, I don't believe, no.

Eyes, wild eyes, for the wanderer's gaze,
The day he dreamt of someone in a haze.
Dreams, they rarely bloom to truth's embrace,
Dreams, they rarely grace this mortal space.
What game has Love so intricately sewn?
How can I know? My heart's unconfined.
How can I know? No, I don't believe, no.

Moon, Moon, beckons from the endless blue,
While Chakora birds can never reach, it's true.
What game has Love so cleverly designed?
How can I know? My heart's unconfined.
How can I know? No, I don't believe, no.
