us rashk-e-mah ki yaad dilati hai chandni
har raat mujh ko aa ke satati hai chandni

aab-e-rawan mein husn milati hai chandni
har mauj mein ghati nazar aati hai chandni

ja baithte hain hum lab-e-dariya pe jab kabhu
kya jhumke apne hum ko dikhati hai chandni

saman-e-bazm-e-baada main karta hun jis ghadi
aa chandni ka farsh bichhati hai chandni

sahra mein ja ke dekh ki har rud-e-khushk ko
hum rang-e-ju-e-shir banati hai chandni

jab dekhti hai dudh sa pinda tera miyan
khajlat se aab hi hui jati hai chandni

pyare andheri raaten hain aise mein mil le tu
phir warna chand chadhte hi aati hai chandni

gar wo bhi qadr-dan ho to be-jazba-e-talab
ruthe hue sanam ko milati hai chandni

kyunkar na main jalun shab-e-hijran mein 'mushafi'
bin yar mere ji ko jalati hai chandni
