gham ke maron ka hai sahaara chand
kitna achchha hai kitna pyara chand

zard chehra hai chandni phiki
kahin furqat ka ho na mara chand

tu har ek ka hai aur kisi ka nahin
log kahte rahen hamara chand

hum jahan jaen jis taraf jaen
sath rahta hai ye dil-ara chand

badh gai aur dil ki betabi
jaane kya kar gaya ishaara chand

hum tere pas khud chale aae
teri duri nahin gawara chand

raat-bhar sath tha magar 'nadir'
subh-dam kar gaya kinara chand
