ChaaNd maddham hai, aasmaaN chup hai,
niiNd kii god meN jahaaN chup hai,
duur vaadii meN duudhiyaa baadal,
jhuk ke parbat ko pyaar karte haiN,
dil meN naakaam hasrateN lekar,
ham teraa intizaar karte haiN,
in bahaaroN ke saaye meN aa jaa,
phir muhabbat javaaN rahe na rahe,
zindagii tere naa-muraadoN par,
kal talak meh’rbaaN rahe na rahe,
roz kii tarah aaj bhii tare,
subh kii gard meN na kho jaayeN,
aa ! tere Gham meN jaagtii aankheN,
kam se kam aik raat so jaayeN,
chaaNd maddham hai, aasmaaN chup hai,
niiNd kii god meN jahaaN chup hai,
