o dharti ke chaand laal mere soja laal mere soja
tu maa ke mamta ke aanchal mein khoja
tu maa ke mamta ke aanchal mein khoja
o dharti ke chaand

sunta tha tu roj ramayan
sunta tha tu roj ramayan ye thi aadat teri
ek din tune mujhse puchha kaha hai seeta meri
us din ko naa jaana bhul o mere phul chain se soja
tu maa ke mamta ke aanchal mein khoja
tu maa ke mamta ke aanchal mein khoja
o dharti ke chaand

kaash main hoti pavan ka jhoka
kaash main hoti pavan ka jhoka chupke chupke aati
kaash main hoti phul saanso mein bas jaati
aur kahti ke tu dukh mujhe deke tu sukh mere leke chain se soja
tu maa ke mamta ke aanchal mein khoja
tu maa ke mamta ke aanchal mein khoja
o dharti ke chaand

O moon of Earth, my crimson, sleep,
My crimson one, now sleep so deep.
Lost in your mother's tender sway,
In her embrace, you softly lay.
O moon of Earth.

You listened daily, tales of old,
Of Rama's lore, so often told.
A habit sweet, a nightly grace,
Until you asked, with tear-stained face,
"Where is my Sita?" Do not forget,
That day, my bloom, and rest you yet.
In peace you sleep, your worries cease,
Lost in your mother's arms of peace.
O moon of Earth.

If I were but a gentle breeze,
A whisper through the rustling trees,
I'd come to you, unseen, unheard,
And soothe your soul with every word.
If I were but a fragrant bloom,
To fill your dreams, dispel the gloom,
And say, let sorrows now depart,
And find solace in my heart.
In peace you sleep, your worries cease,
Lost in your mother's arms of peace.
O moon of Earth.
