jab se dekha hai tere haath ka chand
maine dekha nahi raat ka chand
jab se dekha hai tere haath ka chand
maine dekha nahi raat ka chand
dil mera kho gaya bekhabar ho gaya
dil mera kho gaya bekhabar ho gaya
aisa tha pehli mulakat ka chand
jab se dekha hai tere haath ka chand
maine dekha nahi raat ka chand

khuli khidki se hawa jo aaye
tere aanchal ki woh khushbu laaye
chalaya jaadu ye tune kaisa
ke haal hai mera diwaano jaisa
aasman jhuk gaya pal wohi ruk gaya
koi aahat huyi to dhadakne laga dil mera
jab se dekha hai tere haath ka chand
maine dekha nahi raat ka chand

oh hamesha mujh ko teri yaad aayi
tujhe hi chahe meri tanhai
tujhe main sochu akelepan me
teri dhadkan hai meri dhadkan me
raat bhar jaagti ye dua maangti
mere mehboob jaldi se ab saamna ho tera
jab se dekha hai tere haath ka chand
maine dekha nahi raat ka chand
dil mera kho gaya bekhabar ho gaya
dil mera kho gaya bekhabar ho gaya
aisa tha pehli mulakat ka chand
jab se dekha hai tere haath ka chand
maine dekha nahi raat ka chand

Since I beheld the moon within your hand,
I've not seen the night's moon in any land.
Since I beheld the moon within your hand,
I've not seen the night's moon in any land.
My heart was lost, oblivious, it strayed,
My heart was lost, oblivious, it strayed.
Like the first moon of that meeting planned,
Since I beheld the moon within your hand,
I've not seen the night's moon in any land.

From the open window, the wind does flow,
Bringing the scent your garment does bestow.
What magic did you weave so true?
My state is like a madman's view.
The sky bowed low, that moment stayed,
A whisper came, my heart did cascade.
Since I beheld the moon within your hand,
I've not seen the night's moon in any land.

Oh, always I recall your gentle grace,
My solitude seeks only your embrace.
In loneliness, I think of only you,
Your heartbeat, in my own, beats true.
Through the night, this prayer I send,
My beloved, may our meeting transcend.
Since I beheld the moon within your hand,
I've not seen the night's moon in any land.
My heart was lost, oblivious, it strayed,
My heart was lost, oblivious, it strayed.
Like the first moon of that meeting planned,
Since I beheld the moon within your hand,
I've not seen the night's moon in any land.
