diya jala ke koi chand par rakha hoga
usi ke sae mein wo hum ko dhundhta hoga

koi to zid mein ye aa kar kabhi kahe hum se
ye baat yun nahin aise thi yun hua hoga

tumhaara ghar sar-e-mahtab jo bana dale
tumhaara beta nahin wo khuda raha hoga

wo aankhen abr ki manind ro rahi hongi
wo zina khwab mein mahtab par tika hoga

ye kya zaruri hai aaankhon mein der tak rahna
khayal aap hi taswir ban gaya hoga

sunahre pinjre ki apni hi haisiyat hogi
parinda khush hai magar khub chikhta hoga

kaha hai ek nujumi ne tum miloge hamein
zamin se chand talak ek rasta hoga

khuda kare ki bahut jald tum ko dekh aaen
tumhaare ghar mein ab ek phul khil utha hoga
