hey chandarvadan, chanda ki kiran
tum kis ka chitar banati ho
hey chandarvadan, chanda ki kiran
tum kis ka chitar banati ho
man ke bhavo ko rup rang de
man hi man muskati ho
hey chandarvadan, chanda ki kiran tum

wo suraymukhi tum chandarmukhi
aasha ka deep jalati ho
jab nain mile ho suraj se
kyun chand se preet lagati ho
hey chandarvadan, chanda ki kiran tum

jab nain mile to hraday mile
jab rain huyi bechain huye
wo bhi sudh budh kho baitha hai
tum jisko pass bulati ho
hey chandarvadan, chanda ki kiran tum

tum jiski sharan wo shyam varan
tum jiski sharan wo shyam varan
arpan hai jispe tan man dhan
arpan hai jispe tan man dhan
hai man mandir me chhipa hua
hai man mandir me chhipa hua
tum jisko dekh lajati ho
hey chandarvadan, chanda ki kiran
tum kis ka chitar banati ho

O Moon-faced one, ray of the moon,
Whose image do you weave?
O Moon-faced one, ray of the moon,
Whose canvas do you conceive?
To feelings' hues, you give form and grace,
A secret smile you weave.
O Moon-faced one, ray of the moon.

You, the sunflower, she of the moon,
A beacon of hope you ignite.
When eyes meet the sun's golden gaze,
Why with the moon do you unite?
O Moon-faced one, ray of the moon.

When eyes meet, the hearts entwine,
When night falls, unease will bloom.
He too, his senses gone astray,
The one you call to room.
O Moon-faced one, ray of the moon.

You, whose refuge is dark, blue,
You, whose refuge is dark, blue,
To whom body, mind, and wealth you imbue,
To whom body, mind, and wealth you imbue,
Hidden within the temple of the heart,
Hidden within the temple of the heart,
Before whom, shame you accrue.
O Moon-faced one, ray of the moon,
Whose image do you weave?
