jab tak jage chand gagan me
jab tak jage chand gagan me
mere chand mere chand
mere chand tum sona nahi
jab tak jage chand gagan me

jhilmil tare karte ishare
milan ki ghadiya khona nahi
jab tak jage chand gagan me
mere chand tum sona nahi

najar milan aisi chandni
bar bar chayegi nahi
aayengi waise rate hazaro
aisi rat aayegi nahi
jab tak jage chand gagan me
mere chand tum sona nahi

sapno se jisko maine sajaya
tute wo man ka khilona nahi
vinti kare meri bindiya piya
aaj nindiya ki nagri me khona nahi
jab tak jage chand gagan me
mere chand mere chand
mere chand tum sona nahi
jab tak jage chand

While the moon keeps vigil in the sky,
My moon, my moon,
Do not sleep, my moon,
While the moon keeps vigil in the sky.

Twinkling stars beckon,
Do not lose these moments of union,
While the moon keeps vigil in the sky,
My moon, do not sleep.

Such a meeting of eyes, this moonlight,
Will not grace us again so soon,
A thousand nights will come and go,
But such a night will not return.
While the moon keeps vigil in the sky,
My moon, do not sleep.

The dream I adorned,
Let not the heart's toy be broken,
My prayer, my adornment, my love,
Do not get lost in the city of sleep tonight,
While the moon keeps vigil in the sky,
My moon, my moon,
Do not sleep, my moon,
While the moon still keeps watch.
