Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud,
Hides its face, shrouded.
Today, in my lane, my lane, my Beloved comes.
Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud.

Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud,
Hides its face, shrouded.
Today, in my lane,
Today, in my lane, my lane, my Beloved comes.
Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud.

Why beckon me, with whispers of light?
My Beloved, my Love,
I, too, hold you dear.
Oh, now, do not meet, meet my gaze,
Today, in my lane, my lane, my Beloved comes.
Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud.
Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud,
Hides its face, shrouded.
Today, in my lane,
Today, in my lane, my lane, my Beloved comes.
Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud.

A storm of joy, within my heart, does rise.
A storm of joy, within my heart, does rise.
Sing a song now, sing a song now,
Sing a song now, sing a song now,
Why silence you keep?
Oh, dances today, oh dances today,
Dances today, my very soul.
Today, in my lane, my lane, my Beloved comes.
Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud.
Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud,
Hides its face, shrouded.
Today, in my lane,
Today, in my lane, my lane, my Beloved comes.
Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud.

Why silence now, tell me what dwells,
Come, embrace me, oh, embrace me,
Cling to my feet, now.
Oh, tinkling sounds ring,
Oh, tinkling sounds ring,
Rings my anklet's chime.
Today, in my lane, my lane, my Beloved comes.
Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud.
Oh, Moon, veiled in cloud,
Hides its face, shrouded.
Today, in my lane.
