o chalke re o chalke re
mere sile sile naina re
o re bhig gayi bhig gayi gili raina re
ho re gili raina re haye

haye chand pe kaan lagake sun le
ankhiyon se mere sapne chun le
chand pe kaan lagake sun le
ankhiyon se mere sapne chun le
chalke re naina re o pihua re haye
bandh aankh mein sapne liye
mujhko tu dekh kabhi
tu bhi kabhi chhu ke mujhe chhed kabhi
chand ki ye chikani dali na ghule
raat ki subah tak aankh na khule re
chalke re naina re o pihua re haye
chalke re naina re o pihua re haye

aisa ho kabhi chhod saans tu
mujhko saans aa jaaye
paaon ke tale jab zamee chale
tere paas aa jaaye
haath pe likh de apni lakeere
naino mein rakh de
man ki sab chaina re
o re pihua o re pihua
raat se kaale hai tore naina re
chaand ki ye chikani dali na ghule
raat ki subah tak aankh na khule re
haaye chand pe kaan lagake sun le
ankhiyon se mere sapne chun le
chalke re naina re o pihua re
chalke re naina re o pihua re

Overflowing, overflowing,
my stitched-up eyes overflow,
oh, drenched, drenched, the night is wet,
ho, the wet night, alas.

Alas, listen, placing your ear on the moon,
choose my dreams from my eyes,
listen, placing your ear on the moon,
choose my dreams from my eyes,
overflowing, eyes overflowing, oh beloved, alas,
with dreams held in closed eyes,
see me sometimes, you,
and touch me sometimes, tease me sometimes,
let not this smooth moon-stone melt,
until the night's dawn, let not the eye open,
overflowing, eyes overflowing, oh beloved, alas,
overflowing, eyes overflowing, oh beloved, alas.

May it be so, leaving your breath,
may breath come to me,
when the ground moves beneath your feet,
may you come near me,
write your lines on my hand,
place them in my eyes,
all the peace of the heart,
oh beloved, oh beloved,
your eyes are darker than night,
let not this smooth moon-stone melt,
until the night's dawn, let not the eye open,
alas, listen, placing your ear on the moon,
choose my dreams from my eyes,
overflowing, eyes overflowing, oh beloved,
overflowing, eyes overflowing, oh beloved.
