ye shama to jali roshni ke liye
is shama se kahi aag lag jaye to
ye shama kya kare
ye shama to jali roshni ke liye
is shama se kahi aag lag jaye to
ye shama kya kare
ye hawa to chali sans le har koi
ghar kisi ka ujad jaye aandhi me
to ye hawa kya kare
chalke purab se thandi hawa, aa gayi
chalke purab se thandi hawa, aa gayi
uth ke parbat se kali ghat cha gayi
ye ghata to uthi pyas sabki bujhe
aashiya pe kisi ke jali bijliya to
ye ghata kya kare
ye shama to jali roshni ke liye
puchta hu mai sabke koi de jawab
puchta hu mai sabke koi de jawab
na khuda ki bhala kya khata hai janab
na khuda leke sa janib chala
dub jaye sabina jo majhdar me
na khuda kya kare
ye shama to jali roshni ke liye
wo jo uljhan si tere khyalo me hai
wo jo uljhan si tere khyalo me hai
wo ishara bhi mere sawalo me hai
ye nigahe to mili dekhne ke liye
par kahi ye najar dhokha kha jaye to
to ye nigah kya kare
ye shama to jali roshni ke liye
is shama se kahi aag lag jaye to
ye shama kya kare.
