Hasti Pe Nikhaar Aa Jata Hai
Jis Waqt Woh Saamne Hote Hain
Life is made to bloom
When they manifest before us
Har Shai Pe Khumaar Aa Jata Hai
Jis Waqt Woh Saamne Hote Hain
Existence is covered in intoxication
When they manifest before us
Parwane Ki Halat Kya Kahiye
Parwana Hai Aakhir Parwana
Of moth’s state what could you say
Moth is yet still a moth
Shamma Ko Bhi Pyar Aa Jata Hai
Jis Waqt Woh Saamne Hote Hain*
Even the lamp immerses in love
When they manifest before us
— Translated by Jamil Hussain, Sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
