chand hai vahi sitare hai vahi gagan
phir bhi kyu udas hai udas mera man
udas mera man chand hai vahi

kaun tha mila mujhe jo mil ke kho gaya
kaun tha mila mujhe jo mil ke kho gaya
kaun mere paas aa ke dur ho gaya
phul hai vahi phul hai vahi, bahare hai vahi chaman
phir bhi kyo udas hai udas mera man
udas mera man chand hai vahi

aaj mere man ki bansuri bhi maun hai
aaj mere man ki bansuri bhi maun hai
jis ko dhundhte mere nayan vah kaun hai
rag hai vahi rag hai vahi, parag hai vahi pavan
phir bhi kyo udas hai udas mera man
udas mera man chand hai vahi

The moon hangs, the stars still gleam in the vault,
Yet why does my heart ache, a desolate assault?
My heart, so forlorn, the moon still shines on high.

Who was it that I met, then lost in the fray?
Who was it that I found, then slipped away?
Who drew close, then vanished, fading from my eye?
The flowers still bloom, the spring's breath in the bowers,
Yet why does my heart weep through silent hours?
My heart, so forlorn, the moon still shines on high.

Today, the flute of my soul is hushed and still,
Today, the flute of my soul has lost its thrill.
Whom do my eyes seek, longing to know their will?
The melody lingers, the pollen softly sighs,
The wind whispers softly, beneath these open skies,
Yet why does my heart grieve, beneath the moon's cold eye?
My heart, so forlorn, the moon still shines on high.
