raat kya mange ek sitara lahar kya mange ek kinara
dharti mange chhav gagan ki bati mange jyoat agan ki
maa apne munne ka sahara raat kya mange ek sitara
lahar kya mange ek kinara dharti mange chhav gagan ki
bati mange jyoat agan ki maa apne munne ka sahara
raat kya mange ek sitara lahar kya mange ek kinara
vo din jab raaho me chalugi hath pakad ke tera

us din sach much apna lagega mujhe to jiwan mera
teri aankho se dekhugi teri aankho se dekhugi
manzil ka ujyara raat kya mange ek sitara
maa apne munne ka sahara jhum uthega dil mera
jab dhoud ke ru aayega maa kah kar chati se
meri jab tu lag jayega hat jaye ga raho se meri
hat jayega raho se meri barso ka andhiyara
raat kya mange ek sitara lahar kya mange ek kinara
dharti mange chhav gagan ki bati mange jyoat agan ki
maa apne munne ka sahara

What does the night crave, but a star's gleam?
What does the wave crave, but a shore's dream?
The earth yearns for the sky's embrace,
A wick desires the fire's grace.
Mother, your child's only haven.
What does the night crave, but a star's gleam?
What does the wave crave, but a shore's dream?
The earth yearns for the sky's embrace,
A wick desires the fire's grace.
Mother, your child's only haven.
What does the night crave, but a star's gleam?
What does the wave crave, but a shore's dream?

That day, when I walk my paths, hand in hand with you,
That day, truly, my life will feel anew.
Through your eyes I shall see, through your eyes I shall see,
The destination's light, so true.
What does the night crave, but a star's gleam?
Mother, your child's only haven.
My heart will dance and bloom,
When, searching, the soul returns,
And calls out "Mother," clinging to my chest,
Then will the shadows depart my ways.
The shadows will depart my ways,
The darkness of ages, gone from my gaze.
What does the night crave, but a star's gleam?
What does the wave crave, but a shore's dream?
The earth yearns for the sky's embrace,
A wick desires the fire's grace.
Mother, your child's only haven.
