chanda rey mere bhaiyya se kehna
o mere bhaiyya se kehna, behna yad kare
chanda rey mere bhaiyya se kehna
o mere bhaiyya se kehna, behna yad kare o chanda rey

kya batalau kaisa hai woh, bilkul tere jaisa hai woh
tu usko pehchan hi lega, dekhega toh jan hi lega
tu sare sansar me chamke, har basti har ganv me damke
kehna abb ghar wapas aa ja kehna ab ghar wapas aa jaa
tu hai ghar kaa gehna behna yad kare o chanda rey

rakhi key dhage sab laye, kehna ab na rah dikhaye
mann key nam ki kasme dena, bhent meri key rasame dena
puchhana us ruthe bhai se, bhul huyi kya mann jai se
behan paraya dhan hai kehna, usne sada nahi rehna
behana yad kare o chanda rey

O Moon, speak to my brother,
Tell my brother, his sister remembers.
O Moon, speak to my brother,
Tell my brother, his sister remembers, O Moon.

How can I describe him, he’s like you,
You’ll recognize him, when you see him, you’ll know.
You shine upon the world, in every village, in every town, you gleam.
Tell him, return home, come back home,
You are the home’s jewel, his sister remembers, O Moon.

All have brought threads of Rakhi, tell him, don't show the path again.
Give oaths in Mother's name, offer the rituals of my gift.
Ask that estranged brother, what fault has the mother's child committed?
Tell him, a sister is another’s treasure, she won't stay forever.
His sister remembers, O Moon.
