chandani raato me teri yaad sataaye
chandani raato me teri yaad sataaye
o pardeshi balam dukhada kisi se kaha na jaaye
chandani raato me teri yaad sataaye

khili chandani sare jag me mere ghar me badal chaaye
kaale kaale badal chaaye
khili chandani sare jag me mere ghar me badal chaaye
rolti hain ye naiya meri isko kon bachaaye
chandani raato me teri yaad sataaye

naina barse neer bhaaye dukhadi baate yaad dilaye
naina barse neer bhaaye dukhadi baate yaad dilaye
do din o pardeshi sajan dukhada seha na jaaye haye haye
chandani raato me teri yaad sataaye

o pardeshi balam dukhada kisi se kaha na jaaye
chandani raato me teri yaad sataaye haye haye
chandani raato me teri yaad sataaye
chandani raato me teri yaad sataaye

In moonlit nights, your memory haunts,
In moonlit nights, your memory haunts.
O, absent lover, my sorrow unspoken,
In moonlit nights, your memory haunts.

The moon blooms bright for all the world,
But clouds gather dark within my door,
Black, heavy clouds gather.
The moon blooms bright for all the world,
But who will save my sinking boat,
In moonlit nights, your memory haunts.

My eyes spill tears, a river flows,
Recalling the sorrows, the whispered woes.
Two days, O absent love, and the pain unbearable, alas,
In moonlit nights, your memory haunts.

O, absent lover, my sorrow unspoken,
In moonlit nights, your memory haunts, alas.
In moonlit nights, your memory haunts,
In moonlit nights, your memory haunts.
