kahi chandani hai kahi hai andhera
kahi chandani hai kahi hai andhera
ye jalim zamana na tera na mera
ye jalim zamana na tera na mera

koi usse puche fiza ki bahare fiza ki bahare
koi usse puche fiza ki bahare fiza ki bahare
baharo me ujda ho jiska basera
baharo me ujda ho jiska basera
ye zalim jamana na tera na mera
ye zalim zamana

mujhe maut ki nind sone do humdum
mujhe maut ki nind sone do humdum
sone de humdum meri shame gum ka
meri shame gum ka nahi hai savera
ye jalim jamana na tera na mera
ye jalim zamana

khushi meri dunia me aayi magar yu
khushi meri dunia me aayi magar yu
ke mele me jaise ho mele me jaise ho
jogi ka phera
ye jalim jamana na tera na mera
ye jalim zamana
kahi chandani hai kahi hai andhera
ye jalim zamana na tera na mera
ye jalim zamana na tera na mera

Where moonlight spills, shadows reside,
Where moonlight spills, shadows reside,
This cruel world, yours not, nor mine to confide.
This cruel world, yours not, nor mine to confide.

Ask him, the wind, of spring's sweet sway,
Ask him, the wind, of spring's sweet sway,
Whose home within blooms, was swept away.
Whose home within blooms, was swept away.
This cruel world, yours not, nor mine to confide.
This cruel world.

Let me sleep the sleep of death, my friend,
Let me sleep the sleep of death, my friend,
Let me sleep, for my sorrow's end,
My sorrow's end, finds no dawn to lend.
This cruel world, yours not, nor mine to confide.
This cruel world.

Joy came to me, in this world's embrace,
Joy came to me, in this world's embrace,
Like a wandering mendicant's fleeting trace,
In a crowded fair, a transient space.
This cruel world, yours not, nor mine to confide.
This cruel world.
Where moonlight spills, shadows reside,
This cruel world, yours not, nor mine to confide.
This cruel world, yours not, nor mine to confide.
