phir wo chandni raate thi
dil ko teri aas thi
tu jo mujh se dur thi
phir bhi mere paas thi
tu na paas thi
mere dil ko aas thi
tu na paas thi
mere dil ko aas thi

main tha tanha duniya mein
tu jo mil gayi, sab mil gaya
sote, jaagte tu hi hain
mere paas har jagah
mere paas kuch nahin
meri ja tu hai kahan

tu jo mujh se dur thi
phir bhi mere paas thi

mere dil mein kho gayi
na jaane tum kahan
tujhko dhundhne aaya hai
mera dil o meri ja
mera dil leke tu
kho gayi hain kahan

phir wo chandni raate thi
dil ko teri aas thi
tu jo mujh se dur thi
phir bhi mere paas thi
tu na paas thi
mere dil ko aas thi
tu na paas thi
mere dil ko aas thi

Those moonlit nights returned,
My heart, it yearned for you.
Though distant, still you were,
Forever near, it's true.
You weren't beside me,
Yet hope bloomed in my heart.
You weren't beside me,
Hope played its vital part.

Alone I walked the world,
Then you appeared, and all was won.
In slumber, and in waking,
You are my only sun.
I have nothing of my own,
My soul, where have you gone?

Though distant, still you were,
Forever near, it's true.

Lost within my heart,
I know not where you roam.
My heart now seeks for you,
My soul, my only home.
With my heart you fled,
Where did you disappear?

Those moonlit nights returned,
My heart, it yearned for you.
Though distant, still you were,
Forever near, it's true.
You weren't beside me,
Yet hope bloomed in my heart.
You weren't beside me,
Hope played its vital part.
