ye raat ye chandni phir kaha
sun ja dil ki dastan
ye raat ye chandni phir kaha
sun ja dil ki dastan

ye pedo ki sakhe pe
pedo ki sakhe pe soyi soyi chandani
pedo ki sakhe pe
tere khyalo me khoyi khoyi chandani
aur thodi der me thak ke laut jayegi
raat ye bahar ki phir kabhi na aayegi
do ek pal hai ye sama sun ja dil ki dastan

Where now, this night, this moonlit gleam?
Hearken, my heart, to its dream.
Where now, this night, this moonlit gleam?
Hearken, my heart, to its dream.

Upon the branches, veiled in white,
The moon sleeps softly through the night.
Upon the branches, veiled in white,
Lost in thoughts of your guiding light.
Soon, weary, it will fade away,
This night of spring, that will not stay.
Moments fleeting, shadows blend,
Hearken, my heart, to its end.
