uth gai aaj chand ki doli
kitni viran hai raat ki jholi

apna saya samet kar rakhna
mujh se ek bhagti kiran boli

ab to jag ai shabon ki shahzadi
tujh ko sona tha umr-bhar so li

sans roko charagh gul kar do
aaj badlegi chandni choli

main hun sathi sulagte sahra ka
tu thithurti kiran ki ham-joli

ek dariya sambhal sambhal ke chala
ek kashti qadam qadam doli

aasman tu abhi zamin pe na aa
main ne mutthi abhi nahin kholi

kab talak koi dil pe kan dhare
kaun samjhe 'rashid' ki boli
