shama jale ya na jale roshan hai apna jaha
shama jale ya na jale roshan hai apna jaha
gore badan ki chandani kam to nahi meri jaan
meri ja meri ja meri ja shama jale ya na jale
roshan hai apna jaha

dali badan ki pyasi hai milan ki
dil me dabi hai aag si aisa na ho uthne lage
jalte badan se dhua meri jaan meri jaan meri jaan
shama jale ya na jale roshan hai apna jaha

hotho se chura le mahke se ujale
yu pyar ka daman saja sanse teri sanse meri
chede nayi dasta meri jaan meri jaan meri jaan
shama jale ya na jale roshan hai apna jaha
roshan hai apna jaha

Whether the lamp is lit or not, my world is bright,
Whether the lamp is lit or not, my world is bright.
The moonlit glow of a fair form, it does not diminish, my love,
My love, my love, my love, whether the lamp is lit or not,
My world is bright.

The body's branch, thirsty for union,
Within the heart, a hidden fire, lest it awaken,
And smoke arise from the burning form, my love, my love, my love,
Whether the lamp is lit or not, my world is bright.

Steal from the lips, perfumed light,
Adorn the garment of love, your breaths, my breaths,
Unleash a new tale, my love, my love, my love,
Whether the lamp is lit or not, my world is bright,
My world is bright.
