kahi dhal na jaye raat, tut na jaye sapne

kahi dhal na jaye raat, tut na jaye sapne
are, dhire dhire chal, chand gagan me

tu jhoom ke chale, to dil pe chale katari
ho, hai mitthi chhuri ye zalim nazar tumhari
tu jhoom ke chale, to dil pe chale katari
ho, hai mitthi chhuri ye zalim nazar tumhari
gun gun gunje raag, aaj pawan me
are, dhire dhire chal, chand gagan me
kahi dhal na jaye raat, tut na jaye sapne
are, dhire dhire chal, chand gagan me

vo kya cheez thi, milake nazar, pila di
ho, hua vo asar, ke hamne nazar, jhuka di
vo kya cheez thi, milake nazar, pila di

kahi dhal na jaye raat, tut na jaye sapne
are, dhire dhire chal, chand gagan me
dhire dhire chal

Slowly, oh slowly, moon in the heavens,
Oh, tread softly, moon in the skies so high,
Lest the night descend, dreams shatter and break,
Tread slowly, moon, where starlight lies.

What was that glance, that met mine and fell?
A power unleashed, that bowed down my will,
A melody hums, on the whispering breeze,
Tread softly, moon, among the swaying trees.

Two hearts entwined, a thousand lamps ignite,
Ah, with your coming, blooms burst into light,
Words will be spoken, in this meeting's sweet grace,
Oh, tread softly, moon, in this sacred space.
