aye chand tere sath to rahte hai sitare
aye chand tere sath mai kiske sahare jiyu
mai kiske sahare aye chand tere sath to

kya gum ka fasana haye kya gum ka fasana
tujhe chand sunaye karwat li zamane ne
chali gum ki hawaye mayus najar kehti hai ye
karke ishare aye chand tere sath to

hotho ki hasi chin li aur tod diye dil
duniya se na dekhe gaye haye
do milte hue dil wo ruth gaye jite the hum
jinke sahaare aye chand tere sath to

mai kya kahu hasrat meri barbad hui hai
har dil ki tamanna meri nashad hui hai
barbad tamanna kaho ab kisko pukare
aye chand tere sath to rahte hai sitare
aye chand tere sath to

O moon, the stars keep vigil with you,
But with whom shall I live, O moon, beside you?
With whom shall I lean, O moon, with you present?

What sorrow's tale, ah, what a sorrow's tale,
The cruel world whispers in your ear, O moon.
The winds of grief blow, despairing eyes say this,
With gestures, O moon, with you close by.

Laughter stolen from lips, and hearts broken,
The world could not bear to see, alas,
Two hearts entwined, now estranged,
We lived on the strength of, O moon, with you.

What can I say, my desires lie ruined,
Each heart's longing, unsatisfied,
Wasted wishes, to whom shall I call now?
O moon, the stars keep vigil with you,
O moon, with you.
