kya teri mahfil hai sanam kho gaye hum alla ki kasam
haay meri bahaki dhun pe na ja saaj mere tu bhi gaa
dilruba ha dilruba dil ko le gayi teri ada
haye re kaisa dard diya
meri jaan mai tujhpe fidaa
ya dilruba ha dilruba ya dilruba ha dilruba
ya dilruba ha dilruba ya dilruba ha dilruba

mahfil me tere husn ka tere husn ka
shola jo bhadhke shola jo bhadhke
pahlu me bekarar dil bekarar dil
kaise na dhadke kaise na dhadke
yamma yamma yamma sau paravane ek shama
yamma yamma yamma sau paravane ek shama

nazare bacha ke mai kaise jaau kaise jaau
roke zamana mai jhum jhum chal na pau
roke zamana mai jhum jhum chal na pau
tadpe hai har diwana har diwana
bhar bhar ke aahe bhar bhar ke aahe
rukti hai aakar mujhpe aakar mujhpe
sabki nigahe sabki nigahe
ho yamma yamma tu parvana mai shama
yamma yamma do parvana ek shama

bahka hai har dilwala har dilwala
dekho machalta hai dekho machalta hai
kahta hai har koi mujhko
kahta hai har koi mujhko
jaan ai tamanna jaan ai tamanna
yamma yamma yamma
yamma yamma sau parvana ek shama
yamma yamma ek parvana sau shama
yamma yamma sau parvana ek shama
yamma yamma

Lost in your gathering, beloved, by God, I swear it's true.
Do not heed my reeling song, let your instrument sing too.
Heart's delight, oh heart's delight, your grace stole my very core.
Alas, what pain you've given, my life, I now adore.
Oh, heart's delight, oh heart's delight, heart's delight, heart's delight.

In your gathering, your beauty, your beauty, a flame ignited,
In my side, a restless heart, how could it not be excited?
Yemma, yemma, yemma, a hundred moths for one candle's light.

Avoiding glances, how can I leave, how can I flee?
The world's harsh grip, I sway and can't walk, you see.
The world's harsh grip, I sway and can't walk free.
Each mad lover yearns, yearns with a sigh,
Stopping, all gazes fix on me.

Yemma, yemma, you are the moth, and I the candle's gleam.
Yemma, yemma, two moths, one candle's dream.

Each lover's heart is astray, astray, see how it writhes with desire?
Each lover cries to me, to me, "Oh, Soul's Desire!"
Yemma, yemma, yemma...

Yemma, yemma, a hundred moths for one candle's fire.
Yemma, yemma, one moth, for a hundred candle's desire.
Yemma, yemma, a hundred moths for one candle's pyre.
Yemma, yemma...
