Aadatein chaand ne bigaadi hain..

Soyaa nahi jahaan mera, aadatein chaand ne bigaadi hain ..
Raat raat bhar jalta raha, raat raat bhar galta raha ..

Baadalon ki hatheli mein, paani ki paayal rakh aayi main ..
Ek khwaab raat bhar ghoongru'on saa bajta raha ..

Aawaaz de kar aasmaan ko neeche utaara maine ..
Khidki par ek shaam ka kinaara pighalta raha..

Yun tassavur mein tumhaare, kitne aqs aaine se bachaaye maine ..
Aur kabse in aankhon mein tumhare naam ka moti palta raha

Ek dua rakh aayi mein mandir ke diye ke tale ..
Kaheen door ek musaafir taaron ki chhaaon mein chalta raha ..
