dekho jaata hai koi gham ka sahaara lekar
apane kandhon pe mohabbat ka janaaza lekar
apana hi ghar lootaane deewaana ja raha hai
khud shama ko bujhaane paravaana ja raha hai
apana hi ghar lootaane

ye bhi nazaara dekho, o pyaar kar ne vaalon
o pyaar kar ne waalon,
ek aansuon men dooba afasaana ja raha hai
khud shama ko bujhaane paravaana ja raha hai
apana hi ghar lootaane

khaamosh hai mohabbat, fariyaad ro rahi hai
fariyaad ro rahi hai
apanaa hi aaj ban kar begaana ja raha hai
khud shama ko bujhaane paravaana ja raha hai
apana hi ghar lootaane

Behold, one departs, bearing sorrow's embrace,
Upon his shoulders, love's funeral he does trace.
To plunder his own home, a madman's flight,
The moth, to quench the candle's guiding light,
To plunder his own home.

Gaze now, ye lovers, witnesses of pain,
Ye who have known love, again and again,
A tale submerged in tears, a fading gleam,
The moth, to quench the candle's dream,
To plunder his own home.

Love is silent, while lament weeps and cries,
Lament weeps, as the heart sadly sighs,
His own self now a stranger, walks alone,
The moth, to quench the candle, overthrown,
To plunder his own home.
