yeh chaand koyi diwana hai, koyi aashiq bada purana hai
yeh chaand koyi diwana hai

This moon, a madman, a lover of old,
This moon, a madman, a story untold.
Whose shadow does it chase, all through the night's keep?
Whose shadow does it chase, while the world's asleep?
Is it a moth to a flame, a madman's desire?
This moon, a madman, burning with fire.
This moon, a madman, forever on fire.

My eyes, untouched, adorned with kohl so deep,
My forehead, a star that secrets does keep.
Into my dreams, a melody he weaves,
Into my dreams, the songs of his leaves.
A vagrant bird, a stranger I see, yes I see.

My heart lost in rapture, don't let it fade,
My heart lost in rapture, don't let it be betrayed.
My heart feels lone, this moonlit fair,
My heart feels lone, a festival rare.
May we meet in this fair, may we embrace.

Within my heart, a thief does reside,
My pain unheard, nowhere to hide.
How to evict this unwelcome guest, how to mend my breast?
How to evict this unwelcome guest, how to pass this test?
Over my heart, no power I hold, alas, no hold.

From the day I saw your radiant face,
From the day I saw you, I've known my place.
You are for me, and I for you remain,
You are for me, and I for you remain.
This truth, all else, a dream, a refrain.
This moon, a madman, a lover of old,
This moon, a madman, a story untold.
Whose shadow does it chase, all through the night's keep?
Whose shadow does it chase, while the world's asleep?
Is it a moth to a flame, a madman's desire?
