tumhe sitaro ne beaikhtiyar dekha hai
tumhe sitaro ne beaikhtiyar dekha hai
shadid chand ne me bhi bar bar dekha hai
shadid chand ne me bhi bar bar dekha hai
tumhe sitaro ne beaikhtiyar dekha hai

kabhi jo baithi ho gesu sawarne ke liye
kabhi jo baithi ho gesu sawarne ke liye
to aayine ne tumhe ham sa naar dekha hai

sunahre pani me chandi se paw latkaye
sunahre pani me chandi se paw latkaye
safak ne tumko sare jue bar dekha hai
kabhi gayi ho chaman me shaukh phulo ne
kabhi gayi ho chaman me shaukh phulo ne
nigahe shaukh se mastana war dekha hai
nigahe shaukh se mastana war dekha hai

? kudrat ne har taraf tumko
hazar bar nahi lakh bar dekha hai
magar meri nigah shaukh ko shikayat hai
magar meri nigahe shaukh ko shikayat hai
ke usne tumko fakat ek bar dekha hai
ke usne tumko fakat ek bar dekha hai
tumhe sitaro ne beaikhtiyar dekha hai

The stars, they saw you, unbidden, unaware,
The impassioned moon, a gaze it couldn't spare.
The stars, they saw you, unbidden, unaware.

When you would sit, your tresses to arrange,
The mirror caught you, mirroring our strange
And aching love.

In gilded waters, moon-kissed feet did gleam,
The dawn beheld you, lost within a dream.
When through the garden, your bright steps did roam,
The flowers, with longing, called you to their home.
With ardent eyes, a joyous love, they knew.

The heart of nature, in each space and place,
Has seen you countless times, with gentle grace.
Yet, my desire, with sorrow, must confess,
That it has seen you, only once, I guess.
The stars, they saw you, unbidden, unaware.
