ek sitara
ek sitara hai aakash me
ek sitara hai aakash me
ek sitara hai aakash me
ek sitara ek sitara
ek sitara hai aakash me
ek sitara ek sitara
do the kuch din, aaj akela ek wo hi path hara
ek sitara

dhundhla sa ek deep jalaye
dhundhla sa ek deep jalaye
teer adhera badhta jaye
bade jatan se dil me chhupaye
aag ka ek angara
aag ka ek angara
ek sitara

raat jo dekhe uska gam to
oas ke aansu roye
duniya apne mithe sapne
gale lagakar soye
jage wo hi bechara
jale wo hi bechara
ek sitara, ek sitara

A star,
a star in the heavens,
a star in the heavens,
a star in the heavens,
one star, a star,
a star in the heavens,
one star, a star.
Two once, now lost, the sole one in defeat's scar,
a star.

A dim lamp we ignite,
a dim lamp we ignite,
as shadows lengthen, taking flight,
with such care, in the heart's night,
a fiery ember we hide,
a fiery ember we hide,
a star.

When night sees its sorrow's plight,
tears of dew begin to weep,
the world embraces sweet dream's light,
in slumber, secrets to keep,
awake, alone, his woe so deep,
burning, alone, secrets to keep,
a star, a star.
