chand dhalne laga
chand dhalne laga
dil machalne laga
aa bhi ja, aa bhi ja, aa bhi jaao piya
chand dhalne laga
rat jane ko hai
bhor aane ko hai
sang tu hai nahi mera dhadke jiya
chand dhalne laga

kitni bholi si nadan thi main
pyar se hay anjan thi maine
rasbhari adh khili si kali thi
ek chhoti si muskan thi main
ek chhoti si muskan thi main
tumne ye kya kiya o salone piya
bat hi bat me mera dil le liya
chand dhalne laga

dhundhta hai tumhe pyar mera
is nashili suhani ghadi me
rah me nain kab se bichhaye
bawri si akeli khadi main
bawri si akeli khadi main
bhor aati nahi jag paati nahi
kaun sa tumne mujh par ye jaadu kiya
chand dhalne laga
dil machalne laga
aa bhi ja, aa bhi ja, aa bhi jaao piya
chand dhalne laga

The moon descends,
The moon descends.
My heart begins to yearn,
Come now, oh come, my love, return.
The moon descends.

The night prepares to fade,
The dawn begins to braid
Its light, yet with you absent, my soul does burn.
The moon descends.

How naive, how innocent I was,
Unknowing of love's deep cause.
A bud, half-bloomed, full of grace,
A tender, smiling face.
A tender, smiling face.
What have you done, oh love of mine?
In whispers, you stole my heart divine.
The moon descends.

My love now searches you,
In this intoxicating hour.
My eyes have paved the path for you,
A madwoman, in a lonely bower.
A madwoman, in a lonely bower.
Dawn will not come, I cannot rise,
What enchantment did you devise?
The moon descends.
My heart begins to yearn,
Come now, oh come, my love, return.
The moon descends.
