chadarkiran ke daal hindole jhul rahi aashaye
meri jhul rahi aashaye
chadarkiran ke daal hindole jhul rahi aashaye
meri jhul rahi aashaye
e ri sakhi
e ri sakhi pardesi balma jane kab aa jaye
pi jane kab aa jaye, aa jaye, jhul rahi aashaye
chadarkiran ke daal hindole jhul rahi aashaye
meri jhul rahi aashaye

sajan tera man ka sandesa dil ki dhadakan layi
dil ki dhadakan layi
upar badhta jata musafir
upar badhta jata musafir man hi man sharmai
prit dwar par nain khule hai
prit dwar par nain khule hai palke jhap-jhap jaye
meri palke jhap-jhap jaye
pi jane kab aa jaye, aa jaye, jhul rahi aashaye
chadarkiran ke daal hindole jhul rahi aashaye
meri jhul rahi aashaye

Upon moonbeams, hopes like swings now sway,
My hopes, on moonbeams, sway.
Upon moonbeams, hopes like swings now sway,
My hopes, on moonbeams, sway.
Oh, friend,
Oh, friend, my absent love, when will he come this way?
My beloved, when will he return, he will, my hopes sway.
Upon moonbeams, hopes like swings now sway,
My hopes, on moonbeams, sway.

Your heart's message, brought by my heart's beat,
By my heart's beat.
The traveler ascends within,
The traveler ascends within, my spirit shy and sweet,
At love's door, eyes are open wide,
At love's door, eyes flutter, shy and fleet,
My eyes flutter, shy and fleet.
My beloved, when will he return, he will, my hopes sway.
Upon moonbeams, hopes like swings now sway,
My hopes, on moonbeams, sway.
