aake shama ke karib jo parwana palat jaye
aake shama ke karib jo parwana palat jaye
to ye shama pe parwane ka hai kitna sitam haye kitna sitam
aake shama ke karib jo parwana palat jaye

deke husn ko aawaz kare ishk agar naz
koi deke dil ka raz jo chupaye dil ka raz
koi deke dil ka raz jo chupaye dil ka raz
to ye raz ke chupana ka hai kitna sitam
haye kitna sitam aake shama ke karib
aake shama ke karib jo parwana palat jaye

ye rang ye bahar ye phulo ka karwa
aise me chhod ke mujhe joage tum kaha
chode pakad ke hath agar tujhko meharba
to ye sath na nibhane ka hai kitna sitam aake shama ke karib
aake shama ke karib jo parwana palat jaye

dhadkan bani hai phul mohabbat bani hai taj
aise me jara kah do kah do kah do dil ka raz
yu husn ke huzur kare ishk agar naz
to ye naz ke dikhane ka hai kitna sitam
haye kitna sitam aake shama ke karib
aake shama ke karib jo parwana palat jaye
to ye shama pe parwane ka hai kitna sitam haye kitna sitam
aake shama ke karib jo parwana palat jaye

To turn back from the flame's embrace,
A moth that falters, turns from grace.
Such cruelty, a whispered pain,
Upon the flame, a burning stain.

When beauty calls, and love takes hold,
The heart's true secret, left untold.
A hidden truth, a shadowed plea,
Concealing secrets cruelly.
Such a wound, a hidden sting.

This bloom, this spring, this caravan of flowers,
Leaving me now in these fading hours?
If you forsake, my hand released,
Such broken vows, a love deceased.
Such absence, a cruel decree.

The heartbeat blooms, love crowns the day,
Tell me now, what do your heart's words say?
If beauty flaunts, and love takes pride,
The boastful glance, that cannot hide.
Such pride, a cruel display.
To turn back from the flame's embrace.
Such cruelty, a whispered pain.
To turn back from the flame's embrace.
