jhumo tum nacho mai gata hu
jhumo tum nacho mai gata hu
sabko ek kahani mai sunata hu
ek tara tha bada pyara tha bada nyara tha

papa papa papa
kali kali rato me jab wo chamakta tha
aasma ki pariyo ka bhi dil dhadkata tha
kali kali rato me jab wo chamakta tha
aasma ki pariyo ka bhi dil dhadkata tha
sitare najare sab usse jalte the mai batata hu
ek tara tha bada pyara tha bada nyara tha

maine usse pucha tum kya kam karte ho
jagmag jagmag tim tim subah sham karte ho
maine usse pucha tum kya kam karte ho
jagmag jagmag tim tim subah sham karte ho
to dola wo bola tumko mithe sapne mai dikhata hu
ek tara tha bada pyara tha bada nyara tha

fir kya hua bolo na aage kya hua bolo na
rota sabko chhod gaya wo sabse ruth ke
jane kaha gir gaya ambar se tut ke
rota sabko chhod gaya wo sabse ruth ke
jane kaha gir gaya ambar se tut ke
na jana diwana uski yad me aasu mai bahata hu
ek tara tha bada pyara tha ek tara tha bada pyara tha
ek tara tha bada pyara tha ek tara tha bada pyara tha
ek tara tha bada pyara tha ek tara tha bada pyara tha

Dance you, sing you, I'll be the song,
Dance you, sing you, where I belong.
A tale I weave, for all to hear,
Of a star, so loved, held ever dear.

Papa, papa, papa,
In the dark, when it did gleam,
Even heaven's angels, felt a dream.
In the dark, when it did gleam,
Even heaven's angels, felt a dream.
Stars envied, the story I share,
Of a star, so loved, beyond compare.

I asked it, what is your deed?
Twinkling, shimmering, a nightly creed.
I asked it, what is your deed?
Twinkling, shimmering, a nightly creed.
It swayed, and said, sweet dreams I lend,
Of a star, so loved, until the end.

Then, tell me, what became of its light?
Weeping, it left, in endless night.
Falling, it vanished, from celestial height.
Weeping, it left, in endless night.
Falling, it vanished, from celestial height.
A madman now, in memory, tears I pour,
Of a star, so loved, forevermore.
Of a star, so loved, forevermore.
Of a star, so loved, forevermore.
Of a star, so loved, forevermore.
