chand suraj na sahi koi sitara hota
rahnumai ke liye koi hamara hota

hum ne kirdar jo andar se sanwara hota
phir to bahar bhi bahut khub nazara hota

aap jhuta hi sahi rishta banae rakhte
dubne wale ko tinke ka sahaara hota

us ne bheja hai mohabbat ke liye duniya mein
kash is baat ko sinon mein utara hota

jis mein ta'lim mohabbat ki mila karti ho
kash aisa bhi kahin koi idara hota

har musibat se nikal sakta hun tadbiron se
kash taqdir se bachne ka bhi chaara hota

sab ki aankhon mein sama jati wo taswir 'adib'
chand ke 'aks mein jo 'aks tumhaara hota
