o sajan o sajan samjho na
o rain suhani taare gagan me chamke
kyo naina me neend na aaye mile naa palke
o sajni o sajni bholi sajaniya o
o rain suhani taare gagan me chamke
jab ho naino se naina gawaye kaise mile palke

preet dhun me kabhi jo kho jaaou
ghadi palchhin ro palke milau ro palke milau
aankh lagte hi main jhunjhalau
to ang more karke
o rain suhani taare gagan me chamke
kyo jee mora bhar bhar aaye kyo aasu chalke
samjho naa

aaye sapne me milne jo saiya
dale piya ke gale gori baiya
ho gori gori baiya
lakho armaan le angdaiya
gajare chanke
o rain suhani taare gagan me chamke
khule naina ki najar aaye to aasu chalke

aao phir miljul kar kasame khaye
phir na bichde na jiya jalaye
dur duniya se dur duniya basaye
jaha gum naa bhatke
o rain suhani taare gagan me chamke
meri nindiya me aao so jaaye mila ke palke

Oh, Beloved, Oh, Beloved, heed my plea,
As the night unfolds, stars ignite the sky.
Why does sleep elude these eyes of me?
My lids won't meet, as hours drift on by.
Oh, my Love, my Love, my innocent one,
As the night unfolds, stars ignite the sky.
When eyes have lost their way, the day is done,
How can my lashes find their kindred tie?

Lost in love's melody, I start to sway,
Each moment aches, and tears begin to flow.
As soon as sleep descends, I go astray,
My limbs entangled, burdened, filled with woe.
As the night unfolds, stars ignite the sky.
Why does my heart feel so heavy, overflowing? Why do tears overflow?
Understand.

When he comes to me in dreams, my love so dear,
My arms embrace him, a tender, loving hold.
My fair, fair arms, banishing all fear,
With countless longings, stories to be told.
My flowers tinkle, a sweet song of the soul.
As the night unfolds, stars ignite the sky.
I open up my eyes and see that the tears overflow.

Come, let us unite, let us take our vows,
Never to part again, nor let our spirits burn.
Far from the world, a world we will endow,
Where sorrow's shadow cannot ever turn.
As the night unfolds, stars ignite the sky.
Come, sleep into my slumber, let's entwine, let our eyelids meet.
