aa aa aa
kabhi aaftab ban ke
kabhi chandni me dhal ke
kabhi aaftab ban ke
kabhi chandni me dhal ke
tum aa gaye jami pe
rakhna kadam sambhal ke
kabhi aaftab ban ke

tasveer maine teri har sint laga di hai
tasveer maine teri har sint laga di hai
din raat dekhta hu
din raat dekhta hu
pahlu badal badal ke
kabhi aaftab ban ke

aa aa
ghunghat me tera chehra lagne laga hai aise
ghunghat me tera chehra lagne laga hai aise
sau chand aa gaye ho
sau chand aa gaye ho
mere samne nikal ke
kabhi aaftab ban ke

tu hasin but hai jisko bade pyar se khuda ne
tu hasin but hai jisko bade pyar se khuda ne
fursat se tarasha hai
fursat se tarasha hai
barso sambhal sambhal ke
kabhi aaftab ban ke
kabhi chandni me dhal ke
tum aa gaye jami pe
rakhna kadam sambhal ke
kabhi aaftab ban ke

Ah, ah, ah…

Sometimes as sun, ablaze in light,
Sometimes in moon's embrace of night,
Sometimes as sun, ablaze in light,
Sometimes in moon's embrace of night,
You've come to earth, so fragile, bright,
Tread softly now, with all your might…
Sometimes as sun, ablaze in light.

Your image, I have placed it everywhere,
Your image, I have placed it everywhere,
I watch you now, with constant care,
I watch you now, with constant care,
Through changing nights, and days to share…
Sometimes as sun, ablaze in light.

Ah, ah…

Your face behind the veil, it seems,
Your face behind the veil, it seems,
A hundred moons, in silver gleams,
A hundred moons, in silver gleams,
Have risen forth, from waking dreams…
Sometimes as sun, ablaze in light.

You are a beautiful idol, sculpted with love,
You are a beautiful idol, sculpted with love,
By God's own hand, from heavens above,
By God's own hand, from heavens above,
He carved you slow, with tender shove,
For ages long, and sent you dove…
Sometimes as sun, ablaze in light,
Sometimes in moon's embrace of night,
You've come to earth, so fragile, bright,
Tread softly now, with all your might…
Sometimes as sun, ablaze in light.
