main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
mujh ko raaton ki siyahi ke siwa kuchh na mila

main wo naghma hun jise pyar ki mahfil na mili
wo musafir hun jise koi bhi manzil na mili

zakhm pae hain bahaaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi

kisi gesu kisi aanchal ka sahaara bhi nahin
raste mein koi dhundla sa sitara bhi nahin

meri nazron ne nazaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi

dil mein nakaam umidon ke basere pae
raushni lene ko nikla to andhere pae

rang aur nur ke dhaaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi

meri rahon se juda ho gain rahen un ki
aaj badli nazar aati hain nigahen un ki

jin se is dil ne sahaaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi

pyar manga to sisakte hue arman mile
chain chaha to umadte hue tufan mile

dubte dil ne kinaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
