gin-gin taare
gin-gin taare mai haar gayi raat ko
gin-gin taare mai haar gayi raat ko
haay mere saiyaan na aaye mulaakaat ko
gin-gin taare mai haar gayi raat ko
haay mere saiyaan na aaye mulaakaat ko
gin-gin taare

birha ki raat maine ro ke bitaayi, raaja ro ke bitaayi
sunta hai kaun dukhi dil ki duhaayi, raaja dil ki duhaayi
chanda ji bhi chhup-chhup the sun ke meri baat ko
chanda ji bhi chhup-chhup the sun ke meri baat ko
gin-gin taare
gin-gin taare mai haar gayi raat ko
haay mere saiyaan na aaye mulaakaat ko
gin-gin taare

aaja pardesi piya din pher apne, raaja din pher apne
naino me aan base tere hi sapne, raaja tere hi sapne
chaunk padu rah-rah ke aadhi-aadhi raat ko
chaunk padu rah-rah ke aadhi-aadhi raat ko
gin-gin taare
gin-gin taare mai haar gayi raat ko
haay mere saiyaan na aaye mulaakaat ko
gin-gin taare

I counted stars,
I counted stars, I lost the night,
I counted stars, I lost the night,
My love did not come to meet,
I counted stars, I lost the night,
My love did not come to meet,
I counted stars.

The night of separation, I spent in tears, O King, in tears,
Who hears the cries of a sorrowful heart, O King, the heart's cries?
Even the moon hid, listening to my plight,
Even the moon hid, listening to my plight,
I counted stars,
I counted stars, I lost the night,
My love did not come to meet,
I counted stars.

Come, my foreign love, turn my days anew, O King, anew,
In my eyes, only your dreams reside, O King, your dreams,
I startle, again and again, in the middle of the night,
I startle, again and again, in the middle of the night,
I counted stars,
I counted stars, I lost the night,
My love did not come to meet,
I counted stars.
