aaja re chanda, rath pe sawar
le chal bitiya ko taaro ke paar
sanse hai halki, palke hai bhari
hotho pe thehri, hansi pyari pyari
sapno ki duniya ki mithi pukar
paas bulaye re gudiya hamar

pariyo ki godi mein khelegi tu
unchi udaane bhar legi tu
pariyo ki godi mein khelegi tu
unchi udaane bhar legi tu
pankh sajaye, ankhiya nikhar
ankhiya jo marengi haule se jhapki
ankhiya jo marengi haule se jhapki
nindiya mein kho jaaye gudiya hamar
nindiya mein kho jaaye gudiya hamar
aaja re chanda, rath pe sawar
le chal bitiya ko taaro ke paar

Come, O moon, on your chariot bright,
Take my daughter beyond the starlit night.
Breaths are soft, eyelids heavy with sleep,
On her lips, a laughter, secrets to keep.
A sweet call from the world of dreams,
Beckons our doll to its moonlit gleams.

In fairy cradles, you'll softly play,
Soaring high, come what may.
In fairy cradles, you'll softly play,
Soaring high, come what may.
Wings adorned, eyes in a gentle bloom,
As those eyes flutter, dispelling the gloom,
As those eyes flutter, a soft, sweet blink,
Our doll descends in slumber deep, I think.
Our doll descends in slumber deep, I think.
Come, O moon, on your chariot bright,
Take my daughter beyond the starlit night.
