Panchi bawra chand se preet lagaye.................................

Chhaya dekh nadi mein murakh, phoola nahi samaye..........
The stupid Bird (Chakor-me) seeing the shadow of the moon in the river,
(thinking the Moon has come to meet her) is overjoyed.
Woh harjayi taron ke sang apni raas rachaye....................
The unfaithful Moon is flirting and dancing with the stars.
Chand se preet lagaye....................
(She) in deep love with the moon
Kaun bataye tujhe chakora, gorey mann ke kaaley.................
O, Chakor! Who would tell you that the white skinned people
(though beautiful in appearance) are black at heart.
Jyun jyun preet badaye ga tu, tyun tyun woh ghatt jaye.............................
The more you love him, the more he will shrink.
(Moon's appearance will be on wane every day and will then disappear all together).
(Moon's appearance will be on wane every day and will then disappear all together).
Chand se preet lagaye....................
(Me) in deep love with the Moon
