sunate hai sitare raat bhar
sunate hai sitare raat bhar
sabko ye afsana
kahin pe ek shama thi
kahin tha ek parwana
sunate hai sitare raat bhar

mile tanhayi me dono
huyi unki mulakate
mile tanhayi me dono
huyi unki mulakate
huye arman kuch pure
huyi kuch pyar ki baate
diya ek dusre ko muskura ke
dil ka nazrana
sunate hai sitare raat bhar

zamane ne mohabbat ko
magar majbur kar dala
zamane ne mohabbat ko
magar majbur kar dala
judai ne unhe ek dusre se
dur kar dala haye
bahut royi shama
roya bahut is gam me parwana
sunate hai sitare raat bhar

mohabbat me yu parwane ne
jal kar jaan fida kar di
mohabbat me yu parwane ne
jal kar jaan fida kar di
shama ne bhi tadapkar
pyar ki kimat ada kar di
dono mit gaye lekin
mita na dil ka fasana haye
sunate hai sitare raat bhar
sunate hai sitare raat bhar

The stars whisper all night long,
The stars whisper all night long,
This tale they softly sing,
Of a flame, a moth's longing,
The stars whisper all night long.

In solitude they met,
Their secret trysts were held,
In solitude they met,
Their whispered hopes compelled,
Some desires fulfilled,
Love's soft words gently fell,
They offered each other, smiling,
A heart's sweet toll,
The stars whisper all night long.

The world, with cruel hand,
Forced love to bend and break,
The world, with cruel hand,
Tore lovers for goodness' sake,
Separation's sharp ache,
The flame wept tears of fire,
The moth mourned, consumed by sorrow's pyre,
The stars whisper all night long.

In love, the moth, with fiery grace,
Gave life, a sacrifice so true,
In love, the moth, with fiery grace,
Its soul the flame then knew,
The flame, in anguish too,
Paid love's demanding price,
Both vanished, consumed in fire's device,
Yet, the heart's tale, it never dies,
The stars whisper all night long,
The stars whisper all night long.
