aye chand mere chand ko dikhla na saka tu
aye chand mere chand ko dikhla na saka tu
kirno se mujhe raasta batla na saka tu
kirno se mujhe raasta batla na saka tu
aye chand mere chand ko dikhla na saka tu

har desh me kyu ho mere sansar ke raja
ya mujhko bula le ya mere desh me aaja
itna bhi sandesha mera pahucha na saka tu
aye chand aye chand
mere chand ko dikhla na saka tu

virhan ko tadapte hue kya dekh raha hai
preetam hai mera mujhse juda tujhko pata hai
le ja na saka mujhko use la na saka tu
aye chand aye chand
mere chand ko dikhla na saka tu

O Moon, you failed to show my Moon to me,
Failed to guide me with your light's decree.
O Moon, you failed to show my Moon to me.

Why must my love be king in every land?
Summon me to him, or take him by the hand,
And bring him here. My message, you can't convey?
O Moon, O Moon,
You failed to show my Moon to me.

You watch the lover, longing, in despair,
Knowing he is mine, though held elsewhere.
You could not take me to him, bring him here,
O Moon, O Moon,
You failed to show my Moon to me.
