Dam bhar jo udhar mùh phere, O chandaa
Mai unase pyaar kar lungee, baate hazaaar kar lungee
Dil kartaa hai pyaar ke sajde, aur mài bhi unke saath
Chaand ko chandaa roj hee dekhe, meree pehlee raat
Baadal mè abb chhup jaa re, O chandaa
Mai unase pyaar kar lungee, baate hazaar kar lungee.
Mài chor hòò, kaam hài choree, duniyaa me hoo badnaam
Dil ko churaata aayaa hòò mài, yehee meraa kaam
Aana too gawaahee dene, O chanda
Mai unase pyaar kar lungaa, najre to chaar kar lungaa
Dil ko churaake kho mat jaanaa, raah na jaanaa bhool
In kadmò se kuchhalnaa denaa, mere dil kaa phool
Yeh baat unhè samjhaa de, O chandaa
Mai unase pyaar kar lungee, bate hajar kar lungee
O Moon, if you would turn your face away for one moment. I will give love to him. I will say a thousand things to him.
My heart has prayed for such love. And now I am with him. The moon sees moonlight every day. But this is my first night, oh, this is my first night! Now go hide in the clouds, O Moon! For I will make love to him. I will say a thousand things to him.
I am a thief, and my job is to steal. I am dishonored in society. I have come to steal your heart. This alone is my job. You must come and be a witness, O Moon. I will steal a few glances from her.
Do not steal my heart and become lost. Do not forget your way back to me. Do not crush me with your footsteps. The flower of my heart, oh, the flower of my heart! You make him understand this, O Moon. I will make love to him. I will say a thousand things to him.
