mat karo shama kuun badnam jalati vo nahin aap siin shauq patangon ko hai jal jaane ka

cast not blame upon the flame it doesn’t burn to sear the moths are

parvane aa hi jaenge khinch kar ba-jabr-e-ishq mahfil men sirf shama jalane ki der hai

~ Mahirul Qadri

ye apne dil ki lagi ko bujhane aate hain parai aag men jalte nahin hain parvane

they come to extinguish the fire in their heart in senseless immolation the moths do not take part

nazron men tasadum dil men chubhan ik shama hai ik parvana hai donon hi men baten hoti hain avaz ka lekin naam nahin

mat karo shama kuun badnam jalati vo nahin aap siin shauq patangon ko hai jal jaane ka

cast not blame upon the flame it doesn’t burn to sear the moths are

khud hi parvane jal gae varna shama jalti hai raushni ke liye

the moths got burned in their own plight the flame just burns to shed some light

ye apne dil ki lagi ko bujhane aate hain parai aag men jalte nahin hain parvane

they come to extinguish the fire in their heart in senseless immolation the moths do not take part

nazron men tasadum dil men chubhan ik shama hai ik parvana hai donon hi men baten hoti hain avaz ka lekin naam nahin
