chamakate chand ko
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
meri aavaragi ne mujhako, avara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala

bada dilkash bada rangin hai yah shahar kahate hai
bada dilkash bada rangin hai yah shahar kahate hai
yahan par hai hazaro ghar gharo me log rahate hai
mujhe is shahar ki galiyo ka banjara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala

mai is duniya ko aksar dekhakar hairan hota hu
mai is duniya ko aksar dekhakar hairan hota hu
na mujhse ban saka chota sa ghar din raat rota hu
khudaya tune kaise ye jaha sara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala

mere malik mera dil kyu tadapata hai sulagata hai
mere malik mera dil kyu tadapata hai sulagata hai
teri marzi teri marzi pe kiska jor chalata hai
kisiko gul kisiko tune angara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala

yahi agaz tha mera, yahi anjam hona tha
yahi agaz tha mera, yahi anjam hona tha
mujhe barabad hona tha, mujhe nakam hona tha
mujhe taqadir ne taqadir ka mara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
meri aavaragi ne mujhako, avara bana dala
chamakate chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala

The moon, once bright, a shattered star I've made,
The moon, once bright, a shattered star I've made,
My restless spirit, a wanderer has swayed,
The moon, once bright, a shattered star I've made.

They say this city, a vibrant, lovely hue,
They say this city, a vibrant, lovely hue,
A thousand homes, and people passing through,
The city's streets, a nomad's life I knew,
The moon, once bright, a shattered star I've made.

I gaze upon this world, in constant, deep surprise,
I gaze upon this world, in constant, deep surprise,
A simple home, beyond my reach, my cries,
O God, how did you fashion these skies?
The moon, once bright, a shattered star I've made.

My Lord, my heart, why does it ache and burn?
My Lord, my heart, why does it ache and burn?
Your will unfolds, where all the lessons turn,
Some bloom as flowers, some to ashes yearn,
The moon, once bright, a shattered star I've made.

My dawn was this, my end was meant to be,
My dawn was this, my end was meant to be,
To be undone, to know futility,
Fate's cruel hand, it’s hold on me,
The moon, once bright, a shattered star I've made,
The moon, once bright, a shattered star I've made,
My restless spirit, a wanderer has swayed,
The moon, once bright, a shattered star I've made.
