ae sharad punam ki raat hai, hey ji re
aaj chandar uga hai aakash
are kanchan warini saheliyo
jara jamkar khelo raas

ho punam ki pyari pyari raat
ho punam ki pyari pyari raat
ho raat ho punam ki pyari pyari raat
meri saajan se hai mulakat
aaj tu mat jana
mat jana, mat jana
o punam ki pyari pyari raat
mat jana

suraj se kahde wo kal nahi nikle
kal nahi nikle ho
o suraj se kahde wo kal nahi nikle
kal nahi chamke gagan me
ho kal nahi chamke gagan me
aaj ki bela hai badi albeli
badi albeli ho
o aaj ki bela hai badi albeli
laakh laakh sapne hai man me
o laakh laakh sapne hai man me
tu hone na dena prabhat
meri saajan se hai mulakat
aaj tu mat jana
mat jana, mat jana
o punam ki pyari pyari raat
mat jana

aaj mujhe pana hai ek janam me
ek janam me ho
ho aaj mujhe pana hai ek janam me
aanand sau sau janam ka
o aanand sau sau janam ka
pahle pahli baar mujhe pyar milega
pyar milega ho
o pahle pahli baar mujhe pyar milega
ek anokhe balam ka
o ek anokhe balam ka
jara kar lu main preetam se baat
meri saajan se hai mulakat
aaj tu mat jana
mat jana, mat jana
o punam ki pyari pyari raat
mat jana

o punam ki pyari pyari raat
meri saajan se hai mulakat
aaj tu mat jana
mat jana, mat jana
o punam ki pyari pyari raat
mat jana

A Sharad night, a moonlit grace, ah, hear!
The moon ascends, a silver tear.
O sisters, gold of water bright,
Dance now, and revel in the light.

Oh, lovely night of the full moon's gleam,
Oh, lovely night of the full moon's dream.
Oh, night, oh, night, a moonlit grace,
My love, tonight, I shall embrace.
Do not depart,
Depart not, no,
Oh, lovely night of the full moon's face,
Do not go.

Tell the sun, let it stay hidden,
Let it not rise, ah.
Oh, tell the sun, let it stay hidden,
Let it not blaze in the sky,
Oh, let it not blaze in the sky.
Today, a time so rare, so strange,
So strange, ah.
Oh, today, a time so rare, so strange,
A thousand dreams in my mind lie,
Oh, a thousand dreams in my mind lie.
Do not let the dawn appear,
My love, tonight, I hold you near.
Do not depart,
Depart not, no,
Oh, lovely night of the full moon's tear,
Do not go.

Tonight, I must seize a lifetime,
A lifetime, ah.
Oh, tonight, I must seize a lifetime,
A hundred lifetimes’ bliss,
Oh, a hundred lifetimes’ bliss.
For the very first time, love will find me,
Will find me, ah.
Oh, for the very first time, love will find me,
From a beloved, unique in his kiss,
Oh, from a beloved, unique in his kiss.
Let me speak with my love's heart,
My love, tonight, we shall not part.
Do not depart,
Depart not, no,
Oh, lovely night of the full moon's art,
Do not go.

Oh, lovely night of the full moon's gleam,
My love, tonight, a vibrant dream.
Do not depart,
Depart not, no,
Oh, lovely night of the full moon's beam,
Do not go.
