dhire dhire dhal re chanda dhire dhire dhal
dhire dhire dhal re chanda
aaj kee yeh rat mand phir naa aaye kal
o chanda dhire dhire dhal
dhire dhire dhal dhire dhire dhal re chanda

swapn bachapan ke adhure ho rahe hai aaj pure
swapn bachapan ke adhure ho rahe hai aaj pure
phir naa janey kab ayenge yeh sunhare pal
o chanda dhire dhire dhal dhire dhire dhal
dhire dhire dhal dhire dhire dhal re chanda

preet ki dulhan saji hai mann me shehanayi baji hai
preet ki dulhan saji hai mann me shehanayi baji hai
aaj ghulne de nayan me rat ka kajal
o chanda dhire dhire dhal dhire dhire dhal
dhire dhire dhal re chanda dhire dhire dhal
dhire dhire dhal re chanda

Slowly, oh moon, descend, slowly fade,
Slowly, oh moon, descend.
This night, so gentle, will tomorrow be remade?
Oh moon, slowly descend,
Slowly fade, slowly fade, oh moon, descend.

Childhood dreams, unfulfilled, now start to mend,
Childhood dreams, unfulfilled, now start to mend.
Will these golden moments ever more transcend?
Oh moon, slowly descend, slowly fade,
Slowly fade, slowly fade, oh moon, descend.

Love's bride is adorned, in the heart, trumpets extend,
Love's bride is adorned, in the heart, trumpets extend.
Let the night's kohl in my eyes now blend,
Oh moon, slowly descend, slowly fade,
Slowly fade, oh moon, descend, slowly fade,
Slowly fade, oh moon, descend.
