Sitaron se meri jab baat hoti hei 
Ankhon mein basar phir meri raat hoti hei 

Muskurahat rehti hai labon pe saji 
Yunhi din ke ujaalon mein 
Raat ke andere mein khoob 
Ashqon ki barsaat hoti hei 

Har dard har zakham har gham jo deta hei koi 
Badle mein mere paas duaon ki saughaat hoti hei 

Sochti hoon insaan hai ajeeb ya insaan ki soch 
Jo karta hei khud apna bura aur kehta hei buri qainaat hoti hei 

Wo kaun sa nagar hei bhala jahan janaza na uthe 
Jahan faqat khushion ki humesha baraat hoti hei 

Sitaron se meri jab baat hoti hei 
Ankhon mein basar phir meri raat hoti hei
