tum na aaye sanam shama jalti rahi
rat dhalti rahi dil tadapta raha
tum na aaye sanam shama jalti rahi

so gayi rat daman me tare liye
chhod kar gum ke aasu hamare liye
tumse milne ki hasrat machalti rahi
dil tadapta raha
tum na aaye sanam shama jalti rahi

ho gaye sapne basi mere pyar ke
rat bhar phul mahke mere har ke
rat bhar phul mahke mere har ke
mere khyalo ke angan me chalti rahi
dil tadapta raha
tum na aaye sanam shama jalti rahi

The lamp of longing, it burned on, unshed,
My love, you came not, while the hours bled.
The night descended, shadows softly fell,
And still my heart, in torment, did compel.
The lamp of longing, it burned on, unshed.

The night did sleep, within your sheltering grace,
Leaving behind the tears that stained my face.
The hope of meeting, a fever in my breast,
And still my heart, it could not find its rest.
The lamp of longing, it burned on, unshed.

My dreams of love, they withered in the night,
As flowers of sorrow bloomed in pale moonlight.
As flowers of sorrow bloomed, a fragrant rue,
Within my thoughts, the embers softly grew.
And still my heart, it could not cease its plight.
The lamp of longing, it burned on, unshed.
