o taaraa ko chaand banaane waale
is chaand ko kaun sanbhaale
baadal aaege ban-ban kar matawaale

bhole paradesi baar baar tu aanaa
teri hasi_o me meraa chhupaa zamaanaa
tu dil ko apane dil ke paas bulaa le

din me khushiyaan raato me masti aai
ek na_i chhabi banati hai har agadaai
zulfo ki chhaanv me apane nain ghulaa le

Oh, you who make stars into a moon,
Who will now keep this moon in tune?
Clouds advance, drunk with their boon,
Clouds advance, drunk with their boon.

Simple stranger, come again and again,
In your laughter, my era did remain.
Call your heart close, soothe its pain.

Day brings joy, night brings delight,
A new image blossoms in the light.
In the shadow of tresses, let your eyes alight.
