sunaate hain sitaare raat bhar
dil ko ye afsana
kahi pe ho sitam aate
kahi tha ek parvana
sunaate hain sitaare raat bhar

wo parvana bada magrur tha
jo the javani me
wo parvana bada magrur tha
jo the javani me
sammaa bhi kam na thi wo bhi
lagati aag lagati pani me
hu bijali aur wo badal
chura hi le wo paimaana
sunaate hain sitaare raat bhar

ummidon ki lagi najare
bade rangin raaton me
ummidon ki lagi najre
bade rangin raaton me
mohabbat ho gayi unme
aji baato hi baato me
wo apnaa ban gaya jisko
najar samjhi thi begana
sunaate hain sitaare raat bhar

sulgne lag gayi dono ke
dil me ek chingaari
sulgne lag gayi dono ke
dil me ek chingaari
kahun fir kya huaa to
ruth jaye raat ye kaari
sunaungi tabhi fir main
tumhe aadhe ye afsane
sunate hain sitare raat bhar
dil ko ye afsana
sunate hain sitaare raat bhar

The stars whisper all through the night,
A tale for the heart to know,
Where cruelty danced in the shadows,
And a single moth, long ago.
The stars whisper all through the night.

That moth, so proud in its prime,
In the flush of youth’s fiery claim,
That moth, so proud in its prime,
Bathed in a flickering flame.
The wick, it too, was no less,
Setting fire to the very stream.
I am lightning, he a cloud,
He'd steal the goblet, it would seem.
The stars whisper all through the night.

Hope’s gaze, it lingered and fell,
On nights of such vibrant hue,
Hope’s gaze, it lingered and fell,
In conversations, love grew.
He claimed as his own,
The one his eyes deemed untrue.
The stars whisper all through the night.

A spark ignited in both their hearts,
A spark began to glow,
A spark ignited in both their hearts,
Lest the dark night should know.
I’ll tell it all, if I must,
But only half the tale I show.
The stars whisper all through the night,
A tale for the heart to know,
The stars whisper all through the night.
