raat gayi kar tara tara
raat gayi kar tara tara
hoya dil da dard adhara
raat gayi kar tara tara

aakha hoyia hanju hanju
aakha hoyia hanju hanju
dil da shisha para para
hoya dil da dard adhara
raat gayi kar tara tara

hun ta mere do hi saathi
hun ta mere do hi saathi
ek hoka ek hanju khara
hoya dil da dard adhara
raat gayi kar tara tara

marna chaaya maut na aayi
marna chaaya maut na aayi
maut wi mainu de gayi lara
hoya dil da dard adhara
raat gayi kar tara tara

Stars weep as the night descends,
Stars weep, each a tear it lends.
My heart's ache, its refuge found,
Stars weep as the night surrounds.

Eyes become rivers of tears,
Eyes become oceans of fears.
The mirror of my heart, shattered,
My heart's ache, its refuge scattered,
Stars weep as the night descends.

Now only two remain with me,
Now only two, for company.
A sigh, and a bitter tear,
My heart's ache, drawing ever near,
Stars weep as the night descends.

I yearned for death, but it did not come,
I yearned for death, my life undone.
Death too, gave me a false embrace,
My heart's ache, lost in this desolate space,
Stars weep as the night descends.
