ja ja re chanda ja re teri chandni bhi
mera jiyra jlaye rey ja ja re chanda ja re
teri chan ni bhi mera jiyara jlaye rey
ja ja re chanda ja re

dunia to sari soyi sapno ki raat me
dunia to sari soyi sapno ki raat me
ek mai hi jagu jage gum mere sath me
aankhiya bhar bhar aaye baat baat me
ja ja re chanda ja re teri chandni bhi
mera jiyra jlaye rey ja ja re chanda ja re

koi bhi sahara mera nahi hai jahan me
koi bhi sahara mera nahi hai jahan me
ek bhi sitara mera nahi aasman me
dukh hai hazaro meri ek jaan me
ja ja re chanda ja re teri chandni bhi
mera jiyra jalaye rey ja ja re chanda ja re

Go, go, O moon, depart, even your silver light,
Kindles the embers of my heart, go, go,
O moon, depart.
Even your silver light, kindles the embers of my heart,
Go, go, O moon, depart.

The world is lulled to sleep in the night of dreams,
The world is lulled to sleep in the night of dreams,
I alone awaken, with sorrows as my gleams.
My eyes well up, at every whispered theme.
Go, go, O moon, depart, even your silver light,
Kindles the embers of my heart, go, go,
O moon, depart.

No solace can I find in this world's expanse,
No solace can I find in this world's expanse.
Not a single star, in the celestial dance,
My soul bears thousands of griefs, a mournful chance.
Go, go, O moon, depart, even your silver light,
Kindles the embers of my heart, go, go,
O moon, depart.
