Tare gin gin yaad ch teri
Main tan jaagan raatan noo
Rokh na pawan akhiyan wichon
Ghum diyan barsaatan noo
(Hohohoho hohohoho
Hohohoho hoho ishq tera tarpawe
Hohohohoho ishq tera tarpawe)
Khale mainu tere bin tan
Har pal eh tanhaayi da
Dahsseh mainu nagin wangu
Mausam teri judaayi da
Ek pal wi main bhul na pawan
Teriyan mithiyan baatan noo
Rokh na pawan akhiyan wichon
Ghum diyan barsaatan noo
Dil jalaa ke roshan kita
Main tan teri adaawan noo
*??* leh ke main challeya tere wal
Siddhiyan thandiyan chhawan noo
Samajh naa paaye kyu tu mere
Pyaar bhare jazbaatan noo
Rokh na pawan akhiyan wichon
Ghum diyan barsaatan noo
Ek wari tan aa ke mil ja
Sun le sadaa hon meri tu
Jaan na jaawe . mere
Aaja na kar deri tu
Seh na pawan doori teri
Tarsah main mulaqaatan noo
Rokh na pawan akhiyan wichon
Ghum diyan barsaatan noo
Tare gin gin yaad ch teri
Main tan jaagan raatan noo
Rokh na pawan akhiyan wichon
Ghum diyan barsaatan noo

Overall Meaning:
The lyrics of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's song "Gin Gin Tare" express the yearning and longing of a lover who is unable to forget their beloved. The singer expresses how every night he stays awake, counting the stars and remembering his beloved, unable to hold back tears as the rain pours down outside. He feels lonely without his lover and cannot forget the sweet conversations they had together. Even though he tries to distract himself and move on, the memory of his lover continues to torment him. The singer is unable to understand why his lover left him and is pleading for them to come back and end this separation.
The song's chorus, consisting of the words "Hohohoho hohohoho, Hohohoho hoho ishq tera tarpawe, Hohohohoho ishq tera tarpawe" (loosely translated to "Oh, your love makes my heart ache"), reinforces the theme of longing and the torment the singer feels because of his separation from his lover. The lyrics are poignant, and the emotive delivery of the song by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan further adds to its impact.
