Lamha lamha raat bhar ankhon mein utri chandni,

Lamha lamha raat bhar ankhon mein utri chandni,
Thi teri rukhsaar si ujli, woh nikhri chandni,

Yaad hai woh sath tera aur tere kandhey ki shaal,
Sardiyon ki raat mein woh bheegi bheegi chandni,

Woh tera apni hi baahon mein simattna sharam se,
Aur tere masoom chehrey per woh simtti chandni,

Jab hawaa ke dosh pe sun’na meri bazm-e-ghazal,
Mujh se kehna “hai mere aangan main bikhri chandni”,

Chand! ab to chand mera jaa basaa pardes mein,
Dil ko ab achi nahin lagti hai pheeki chandni..
