tu tare se toota hai kyun
ambar se rutha hai
tu gira hai jahan pe
haan wahin roshini roshini ban gayi

tu tare se toota hai kyun
ambar se rutha hai

jungalon jaisa yeh sheher sara
khud hi ban ja tu humsafar apna

raat begani gair lagti hai
aashiyan koi oodh le sapna

tu tare se toota hai kyun
ambar se rutha hai tu gira hai jahan pe
haan wahin roshini roshini ban gayi

Why have you fallen, star-child, fractured,
From the vast, celestial blue?
Why estranged, from the heavens?
Where you fell, yes, there, light bloomed anew.

Why have you fallen, star-child, sundered,
From the heavens, in silent pique?
This city, a jungle, overgrown and wild,
Become your own companion, your own mystic.

The night feels foreign, an alien hold,
Dream-sheltered, seeking a place to rest.
Why have you fallen, star-child, broken,
From the blue, in a heart-sore plight?
Where you fell, yes, there, light began to mend.
