chaar din ki chaandani thi phir andheri raat hai
hum idhar hai wo udhar hai bekasi kaa saath hai
chaar din ki chaandani thi phir andheri raat hai
hum idhar hai wo udhar hai bekasi kaa saath hai

kyaa khabar thi unkaa daaman haath se chhut jayega
gam ke haatho zindagi kaa karvaa lut jayega
dil lagaa kar gam uthaaye kyaa anokhi baat hai
chaar din ki chaandani thi phir andheri raat hai
hum idhar hai wo udhar hai bekasi kaa saath hai

mit rahi hai meri duniya aur main dekha karun
haay ye mushkil ke din kaise bitaaun kya karun
dil ke maalik laaj meri ab tumhaare haath hai
chaar din ki chaandani thi phir andheri raat hai
hum idhar hai wo udhar hai bekasi kaa saath hai

A four-day moon, then the darkness returns,
We here, and they there, helplessness burns.
A four-day moon, then the darkness descends,
We here, and they there, the sorrow transcends.

Who knew their embrace would slip from my hand,
That sorrow would plunder life's caravan's stand?
To love and then grieve, a strange, bitter play,
A four-day moon, then the night holds its sway,
We here, and they there, in despair we stray.

My world fades away, as I watch it all die,
Oh, these days of hardship, how can I get by?
My heart's true master, my honor's command,
A four-day moon, then darkness does stand,
We here, and they there, in desolate land.
