shama jali armano ki jan gayi parwano ki
tune na jani itni kahani hm diwano ki
shama jali armano ki jan gayi parwano ki
tune na jani itni kahani hm diwano ki
ho shama jali armano ki

rang bhari rate ho teri din ho mastane tere liye
mangi dua tere parwane barse khusiya asmano ki
shama jali armano ki jan gayi parwano ki
tune na jani itni kahani hm diwano ki
ho shama jali armano ki

di ki lagi sara sara din hamko tadpaye
tere liye paya hai ye gum tu hi thukraye
teri najar me ye kadar hai ham begano ki
ho shama jali armano ki

jalte hai ham sholo ki tarah ahe bharte hai
jisne kiye dekho ye sitam uspe marte hai
ye kya ada hai ap jaise meharbano ki
shama jali armano ki jan gayi parwano ki
tune na jani itni kahani hm diwano ki
ho shama jali armano ki

The lamp of longing burns, the moths consumed,
A tale untold, by you un-gloomed.
The lamp of longing burns, the moths consumed,
A tale untold, by you un-bloomed.
The lamp of longing burns.

May nights of color grace you, days of glee,
For you, my moths, where joy descends, free.
The lamp of longing burns, the moths consumed,
A tale untold, by you un-gloomed.
The lamp of longing burns.

The heart's fire, all the day it grieves,
For you, this sorrow, you believe?
In your eyes, we're strangers, disbelieved.
The lamp of longing burns.

We burn like flames, sighs we exhale,
On cruelty's hand, our love does sail.
Such grace, you show, of your kind hailed.
The lamp of longing burns, the moths consumed,
A tale untold, by you un-bloomed.
The lamp of longing burns.
