parwane teri shama jal uthi parwane teri shama jal uthi
raat hai katil sun lo kafil ahkiri hai ghadi
parwane teri shama jal uthi

rahi o dilwale gujra hai matwale kyu meri raho se
tujhko jalaungi mai bijli giraungi mai apni nigaho se
rahi o dilwale gujra hai matwale kyu meri raho se
tujhko jalaungi mai bijli giraungi mai apni nigaho se
diwane teri saja hai yahi raat hai katil sun o kafil
akhiri hai ghadi parwane teri shama jal uthi

samjha na dil tera uljha hai dil tera meri adao me
dhokhe nigaho ke hai rang wafao ke hai teri jafao me
samjha na dil tera uljha hai dil tera meri adao me
dhokhe nigaho ke hai rang wafao ke hai teri jafao me
pahchane to mai wahi hu wahi raat hai katil sun o kafil
akhiri hai ghadi parwane teri shama jal uthi

shab ki syahi bole may ki surahi bole apni khabar rakhna
jadu sitaro ka hai mauka isharo ka hai mujhpe najar rakhna
shab ki syahi bole may ki surahi bole apni khabar rakhna
jadu sitaro ka hai mauka isharo ka hai mujhpe najar rakhna
afsane dil ke meri najar kah gayi raat hai katil sun o kafil
akhiri hai ghadi parwane teri shama jal uthi

The moth, your lamp, ablaze it flares,
A killer night, oh weary souls, the final hour nears,
The moth, your lamp, ablaze it flares.

Oh traveler, wild heart, why from my paths you strayed?
I'll set you burning, lightning I will cascade, from eyes I've made.
Oh traveler, wild heart, why from my paths you strayed?
I'll set you burning, lightning I will cascade, from eyes I've made.
Mad one, your fate, this very spot, the killer night, oh weary souls,
The final hour nears, the moth, your lamp, ablaze it flares.

Your heart, unheeding, tangled in my ways,
Deceit in glances, hues of fealty in your betrayals.
Your heart, unheeding, tangled in my ways,
Deceit in glances, hues of fealty in your betrayals.
Recognize, I am the same, the killer night, oh weary souls,
The final hour nears, the moth, your lamp, ablaze it flares.

The night's dark ink speaks, the wine's carafe does too, heed your own plight.
The stars' enchantment, the time of signs, keep me in sight.
The night's dark ink speaks, the wine's carafe does too, heed your own plight.
The stars' enchantment, the time of signs, keep me in sight.
The heart's tales, my gaze has told, the killer night, oh weary souls,
The final hour nears, the moth, your lamp, ablaze it flares.
