sanjh ko tujhse nana milakar
sanjh ko tujhse naina milakar
raat ko tere pankh jalakar

jab hoti hai wo jab hoti hai wo
patange mat ja deepak ki or
patange mat ja deepak ki or
man me tere pyar bhara hai
khud ke man chor

The moth ascends, the moth takes flight,
The moth ascends towards the light,
The moth ascends towards the flame,
Bearing love, a whispered name,
Bearing love, come, meet the blaze,
Witness now a vibrant haze,
It will dance, it will whirl,
My heart will dance, in a loving swirl,
The moth ascends, the moth takes flight.

The moth ascends, stand back, you moth,
The moth ascends, stand back, forsooth,
Stand back, the lamp has passed away,
The lamp is gone, in disarray,
Stand back, the lamp has met its end,
Stand back, stand back, your journey bend.

In the dusk, your eyes did meet,
In the dusk, your eyes did greet,
In the night, your wings consumed,
In the night, your fate entombed,
What lies within its eyes, I cannot say,
What lies within, what I can convey,
When it happens, when it starts to gleam,
Moth, don't rush towards the lamp's extreme,
Moth, don't rush, your heart's desire,
Your own heart holds the hidden fire.
