1/3: shama

ye roshni tere kamre

mein khud nahi aayi

shama ka jism pighalne

ke baad aayi

this light hasn’t come into

your room all by itself

it has come after burning

the body of a candle

2/3: shama

hoti kahan hai dil se judaa

dil ki aarzoo

jaata kahan hai shama ko

parvaana chhod kar

where does the heart

separate from its own desires?

where does the moth go

leaving the flame behind?

3/3: shama

aap aaye hain so ab

ghar mein ujaala hai bahut

kahiye jalti rahe ya

shama bujhaa di jaaye

you have come and the

house is filled with light

tell me, should i keep them lit

or turn these lamps off
