Raat bhar jalta raha woh chand, na jaane kiske
deedar ko...
Saher tak bhi to woh tanha hi raha, na jaane kiske
intezaar ko...

Raat bhar woh chalta raha, na jaane kise dhoondhta
raha...
Chandni lutata raha aur bas! Chalta hi raha...
Jab saher aayi to beqarar aankhon se kuchh kehta
raha...
Saanjh ko phir aane ka wada tha shayad jo uski
aankhon me jalta raha...

Kya dekha hai kabhi is chand sa deewana, jo udhaar
ki roshni bhi kisi aur par luta de...
Ek adad sakhi apni chandni bhi is patthar-dil duniya
par bichha de...

Kya kisi ne dekhi bhi uski aankhon ki bechaini,
Pathrayi si aankhen aur unme toote khwabon ki
khamoshi...

Har Kasamm to nibhayi usne, har dard ko to seh gaya,
Par ye ishq!... phir bhi use, sirf tanhayi hi de
gaya...

Raat ko na jaane kitne hi sawaal poochh gaya woh
mujhse,
Ishq me sawaal nahi hote, bas itna hi kaha gaya
mujhse...

Aaj raat woh phir aayega, shayad tumhare liye...
Aaj to use tanaha na chhodna, khuda ke liye...
