e chaand mere dil ke aankho ke taare tu kyun hai maddham
maddham maddham maddham maddham
nindiya ke badle aankho me aansu tujhko sataaye kaisa gam
e chaand mere dil ke aankho ke taare tu kyun hai

suna tera mukaddar hai
suna tera mukaddar hai, jaa aasma pe tera ghar hai
tanhayi teri hamsafar hai bas aakhari ye tera safar hai
gam se bhari mitti se dur, aaho bhari havaao se dur
nafrat bhare saagar se dur jo dil ko jala de us agni se dur
us agni se dur, us agni se dur
kahne ko dur hai par lagta hai harpal tu hai yahi hamdam
hamdam hamdam hamdam hamdam hamdam
yado me teri ji lege bas ham aur khushiyo me hoga tera gam

zulmo sitam ka hai jahaan
zulmo sitam ka hai jahaan hai qaid me uski meri jaan
kyun bekhabar hai tu ai khuda, tujhko mubaarak tera aasma
bebas hu mai kamzor nahi, koyi nahi tanha sahi tanha sahi
himmat ho to mushkil nahi, hai hausla agar to manzil dur nahi
manzil dur nahi, manzil dur nahi
ummid ke sahaare koyi kyun haare, chalte chale tham tham
tham tham tham tham hardam
khud pe yaki hai to kya kami hai, do din ka mehma hai ye gam

O moon, star of my heart's eyes, why dimmed so?
Dimmed, dimmed, dimmed, dimmed.
Tears in your eyes, not slumber, what sorrow do you know?
O moon, star of my heart's eyes, why so?

Barren is your fate, it seems,
Barren is your fate, though in the sky your home gleams.
Loneliness your only friend, this, your final journey's streams.
Far from grief-filled earth, far from sighs of the air,
Far from seas of hate, far from fires that sear,
From those fires, far from those fires.
Though far, you feel near, my companion ever near.
Near, near, near, near, near.
In your memory, we'll live, and in joy, your sorrow we'll bear.

A world of injustice and pain,
A world of injustice, where my soul is chained.
Why oblivious, O God? To you, your heaven's reign.
Helpless I am, but not weak, alone, yet not alone,
If courage is there, no hardship's known, if will is strong, no finish is unknown.
No finish is unknown, no finish is unknown.
Why lose hope, with its support we strive on, on, on?
On, on, on, on, always on.
If you believe in yourself, what lack is there, this sorrow, a guest for days only, gone.
