haay rasiya bada nadaan
raat bhar chand nihare re
raat bhar chand nihare re
haay jal jaye meri jaan
raat bhar dhum machaye re
raat bhar dhum machaye re
haay rasiya bada nadaan
raat bhar chand nihare re
raat bhar chand nihare re

main payal shor sunau
main payal shor sunau
wo sune kuk koyal ki
bedardi mud mud dekhe
bedardi mud mud dekhe
na jane baat wo dil ki
mere sisk rahe armaan
haay haay piya pukare re
haay haay piya pukare re
haay rasiya bada nadaan
raat bhar chand nihare re
raat bhar chand nihare re

kyo dil mera dhadk raha hai
kyo dil mera dhadk raha hai
kya rasiya tadap raha hai
kyo din rahi pyasi aankhiya
kyo din rahi pyasi aankhiya
haay piya milan ki ghadiya
haay dil mein uthe tuphan
lage kab naaw kinare re
lage kab naaw kinare re
haay rasiya bada nadaan
raat bhar chand nihare re
raat bhar chand nihare re
haay jal jaye meri jaan
raat bhar dum machaye re
raat bhar dum machaye re
raat bhar dum machaye re
raat bhar dum machaye re

Oh, my beloved, so unaware,
Lost in moonlight's endless stare.
All night he gazes, lost and gone,
My soul consumed, before the dawn.

All night he revels, wild and free,
Burning my heart, eternally.
Oh, my beloved, so naive,
Lost in moonlight, I grieve.

My anklets sing a whispered plea,
My anklets sing for him and me,
He hears the cuckoo's lonely call,
He turns away, ignoring all.
He looks again, so callous, cold,
My heart's desires, untold.
My dreams are crushed, my spirit sighs,
My love calls out beneath the skies.

Oh, my beloved, so unaware,
Lost in moonlight's endless stare.

Why does my heart beat fast and deep?
Why does my heart its secrets keep?
Is he, my love, in torment too?
Why do my eyes thirst for you?
Oh, the hours of our embrace,
When will we meet face to face?
A tempest rages in my breast,
When will my soul find its rest?

Oh, my beloved, so unaware,
Lost in moonlight's endless stare.
Oh, my beloved, so unaware,
Lost in moonlight's endless stare.
My soul consumed, before the dawn.
All night he revels, wild and gone,
All night he revels, wild and free.
All night he revels, eternally.
