na chand ho na suraj ho na tum taare ho
fir bhi tumhi lagate sab se pyare ho
na chand ho na suraj ho na tum taare ho
fir bhi tumhi lagate sab se pyare ho
na chand ho na suraj ho na tum taare ho

hai angdaiya lachki lachki lali hai
ye aankhe hai ya ke chhalaki chhalaki pyali hai
fir bhi inka paimana kyu khali hai
na chand ho na suraj ho na tum taare ho
fir bhi tumhi lagate sab se pyare ho
na chand ho na suraj ho na tum taare ho

hai raat nikalti tere kale balo se
aati hai subha ki lali tere galo se
kon ho kya ho pucho hum dil valo se
na chand ho na suraj ho na tum taare ho
fir bhi tumhi lagate sab se pyare ho
na chand ho na suraj ho na tum taare ho

ye chaal hai ya bijali girati jati hai
har ek ada mastana banata jati hai
aaj na jane is kayamat aati hai
na chand ho na suraj ho na tum taare ho
fir bhi tumhi lagate sab se pyare ho
na chand ho na suraj ho na tum taare ho

Not moon, nor sun, nor stars in the night,
Yet dearest of all, bathed in your light.
Not moon, nor sun, nor stars in the night,
Yet dearest of all, bathed in your light.
Not moon, nor sun, nor stars in the night.

A languid dance, a blush so deep,
Are these eyes, or spilled cups to keep?
Yet why this emptiness, secrets to weep?
Not moon, nor sun, nor stars in the night,
Yet dearest of all, bathed in your light.
Not moon, nor sun, nor stars in the night.

Night unfurls from tresses so dark,
Dawn's blush awakens, leaving its mark,
Who are you? Ask the hearts in the dark.
Not moon, nor sun, nor stars in the night,
Yet dearest of all, bathed in your light.
Not moon, nor sun, nor stars in the night.

Is this a gait, or lightning's gleam,
Each gesture a lover's waking dream?
Today, what apocalypse will teem?
Not moon, nor sun, nor stars in the night,
Yet dearest of all, bathed in your light.
Not moon, nor sun, nor stars in the night.
