chand me dekhu apna mukhda
chand me dekhu apna mukhda
naino me nilgagan dole naino me nilgagan dole
o hoke magan mera man dole oye mera tan dole
chand me dekhu apna mukhda
chand me dekhu apna mukhda

o o baitha hua hai jogi koi dhul ramaye
pahunchi hai pujaran waha dukh apna chhupaye
aankho me aarti ki ek jyot jagaye, ek jyot jagaye
o dekhte hi mera man dole, oye mera tan dole
chand me dekhu apna mukhda
chand me dekhu apna mukhda

o o sadhu hai koi ya koi mandir ka pujari
aaya kisi ke dawar pe banke jo bikhari
lage nahi nirash hai kis soch me nari
kis soch me nari
o dekhte hi mera man dole, oye mera tan dole
chand me dekhu apna mukhda
chand me dekhu apna mukhda
naino me nilgagan dole naino me nilgagan dole
o hoke magan mera man dole oye mera tan dole
chand me dekhu apna mukhda
chand me dekhu apna mukhda

I gaze within the moon's soft gleam,
My face reflected, a silver dream.
In eyes, the azure heavens sway,
My spirit dances, come what may.
My body trembles, ecstasy's hold,
I gaze within the moon, so bold.

A yogi sits, in dust enshrined,
A devotee arrives, grief entwined.
In eyes, a lamp of prayer alight,
A sacred flame in darkest night.
My heart it sways with sudden grace,
My body trembles in that space.
I gaze within the moon's soft gleam,
My face reflected, a silver dream.

A saint perhaps, or temple's guide,
Knocking, a beggar, open wide.
No hope is lost, in thoughts she's caught,
What secret burdens she has brought?
My heart it sways with sudden grace,
My body trembles in that space.
I gaze within the moon's soft gleam,
My face reflected, a silver dream.
In eyes, the azure heavens sway,
My spirit dances, come what may.
My body trembles, ecstasy's hold,
I gaze within the moon, so bold.
