us chand se pyare chand ho tum, aakash pe jo muskata hai
us chand se pyare chand ho tum
aakash pe jo muskata hai us chand se

agar chand hu mai tum suraj ho, tum jyoti arpan karte ho
ik dukhiyari ke jiwan ka, ik dukhiyari ke jiwan ka
man aashao se bharte ho
ehsaan se man jhuk jata hai us chand se

wo neel gagan par hasta hai, tu dharti par muskati hai
us chand us chand, us chand ki mere chand se jab
aankh kahi lad jati hai
wo wo badal me chup jata hai us chand se

apne charno ki daasi ka kyu itna maan badhate ho
ik bekar bebas panchi ko ik bekar bebas panchi ko
aankho ki sair karate ho is bat
is bat se man dar jata hai
us chand se pyare chand ho tum
aakash pe jo muskata hai us chand se

You, my love, are a moon more dear,
Than the one that smiles in the sky.
You, my love, are a moon more dear,
Than the one that smiles on high.

If I am the moon, then you are the sun,
Bestowing light, a radiant art.
You fill the life of a sorrowing one,
You fill the life, with hope in the heart.
My soul bows low in gratitude, more dear than that moon.

He laughs on the canvas of azure grace,
While you, on earth, do softly gleam.
When his gaze, that moon's gaze, does embrace,
My moon's gaze, a fleeting dream.
He hides himself, that moon is shy.

Why do you lift your servant's worth,
To such a height, a dizzying climb?
You guide a bird, of little birth,
To wander, free, through space and time.
My heart then trembles, fearful, more dear.
You, my love, are a moon more dear,
Than the one that smiles in the sky.
