dhal gaya chand gayi raat chalo so jaaye
dhal gaya chand gayi raat chalo so jaaye
ho chuki unse mulakaat chalo so jaaye
dhal gaya chand

dur tak ghunj nahi hai kisi shehnaai ki
dur tak ghunj nahi hai kisi shehnaai ki
lut gayi aash ki baraat chalo so jaaye
lut gayi aash ki baraat chalo so jaaye
dhal gaya chand

log ikraare wafa karke bhula dete hain
log ikraare wafa karke bhula dete hain
ye nahi koi nayi baat chalo so jaaye
ye nahi koi nayi baat chalo so jaaye
dhal gaya chand

itne chhito se na dhoya gaya ye daag-e-alam
itne chhito se na dhoya gaya ye daag-e-alam
kya kahegi hume barsaat chalo so jaaye
kya kahegi hume barsaat chalo so jaaye
dhal gaya chand gayi raat chalo so jaaye
ho chuki unse mulakaat chalo so jaaye
chalo so jaaye, chalo so jaaye

The moon descends, the night departs, let slumber claim us now.
The moon descends, the night departs, let slumber claim us now.
Our meeting’s done, the tryst complete, let slumber claim us now.
The moon descends.

No echoing strains of joyous flute now fill the air,
No echoing strains of joyous flute now fill the air.
Hope’s wedding procession, plundered, done, let slumber claim us now.
Hope’s wedding procession, plundered, done, let slumber claim us now.
The moon descends.

Men pledge their love, their faith, then vanish into dust,
Men pledge their love, their faith, then vanish into dust.
This tale is old, no novel truth, let slumber claim us now.
This tale is old, no novel truth, let slumber claim us now.
The moon descends.

So many tears have failed to wash this grief away,
So many tears have failed to wash this grief away.
What will the storm clouds say of us? Let slumber claim us now.
What will the storm clouds say of us? Let slumber claim us now.
The moon descends, the night departs, let slumber claim us now.
Our meeting’s done, the tryst complete, let slumber claim us now.
Let slumber claim us now, let slumber claim us now.
