ae chand sitaro
ae chand sitaro khamosh nazaro
ae chand sitaro
main wo hu ke tum bhi na mere sathdaro
main wo hu ke tum bhi na mere sathdaro
ae chand sitaro

ghanghor andhero me kiya maine basera
wo raat hun jis raat ne dekha na savera
taqdeer ki bikhri hui julfe na sawaro
ae chand sitaro
ae chand sitaro

ruthe hue dariya ka hu main viran kinara
jisme koi kashti hain na tufan na dhara
ab tum na meri laash ko rah rah ke pukaro
ae chand sitaro
ae chand sitaro khamosh nazaro

O moon and stars,
O moon and stars, silent beholders,
O moon and stars,
I am that which even you cannot companion,
I am that which even you cannot companion,
O moon and stars.

In the depths of darkness, I made my home,
I am the night that never witnessed dawn,
Do not comb the scattered tresses of fate,
O moon and stars,
O moon and stars.

I am the desolate shore of a displeased sea,
Where no boat exists, nor storm, nor current,
Now, do not, again and again, call to my corpse,
O moon and stars,
O moon and stars, silent beholders.
