dharti hamari pe tu nit nit jhake chanda
papi ki nagri bata
jo sukh leke hame dukh deke gaya

jisko dil dekar hamne jaa ka hai rog lagaya
pyar ke badle me jisne hamko hai bada sataya
parmeshwar mere use bhi rula
jo sukh leke hame dukh deke gaya
dharti hamari pe tu nit nit
dharti hamari pe tu nit nit jhake chanda
papi ki nagri bata
jo sukh leke hame dukh deke gaya

dil ke arman mere ro ro ke sau gaye
palko me tadap tadap kar aasu chup ho gaye
aaye na aaye ab sawariya
jo sukh leke hame dukh deke gaya
dharti hamari pe tu nit nit jhake chanda
papi ki nagri bata
jo sukh leke hame dukh deke gaya

Upon our earth, moon, you nightly gaze,
Tell me of that city of the wicked ways,
That stole our joy, then left us in despair.

To whom we gave our heart, our life's own core,
Who for love's sake, inflicted wounds and sore,
My God, let them weep, too, beyond compare,
That stole our joy, then left us in despair.
Upon our earth, moon, you nightly, nightly gaze,
Tell me of that city of the wicked ways,
That stole our joy, then left us in despair.

My heart's desires, in sorrow, softly sleep,
In trembling lashes, tears their silence keep,
No longer will my love appear to care,
That stole our joy, then left us in despair.
Upon our earth, moon, you nightly gaze,
Tell me of that city of the wicked ways,
That stole our joy, then left us in despair.
