mahtaab tera chehra kis khvaab me dekha tha
ae husn zara batla, tu kaun main kaun hu
khvaabo me mile aksar, ik raah chale milkar
phir bhi hai yahi behtar, mat puch main kaun hu
mahtaab tera chehra

kyo ghiri ghata tu hi bata
kyo hansi fiza tu hi bata
phul kyo khila tu hi bata
is raah pe chalna hai, is gaah pe rukna hai
is kaam ko karna hai batla ki main kaun hu

zindagi ko tu geet bana
dil ke saaz pe jhum ke ga
is jahaan ko tu pyaar sikha
mahtaab tera chehra kis khvaab me dekha tha
ai husn zara batla, tu kaun main kaun hu
khvaabo me mile aksar, ik raah chale milkar
phir bhi hai yahi behtar, mat puch main kaun hu
mahtaab tera chehra

Your face, a moon, in which dream did I see it?
O Beauty, unveil, tell me, who are you, who am I?
We met in dreams, often, walked a path together,
Yet still it is better, do not ask who I am.
Your face, a moon.

Why does the cloud embrace? You tell me.
Why does the breeze laugh? You tell me.
Why does the flower bloom? You tell me.
Upon this path to tread, on this moment to pause,
This deed to perform, tell me now, who am I?

Make of life a song,
Dance and sing upon the heart's strings.
Teach love to this world.
Your face, a moon, in which dream did I see it?
O Beauty, unveil, tell me, who are you, who am I?
We met in dreams, often, walked a path together,
Yet still it is better, do not ask who I am.
Your face, a moon.
