*chaand meri tarah pighalta raha
neend mein sari raat chalta raha
jane kis dukh se dil garift hai
moun pe badal ki raakh multa raha
mae tu paon k kante chunti rahi
aur wo raasta badalta raha
in galiyoon mein jub bhatakti thee
koi tu tha jo saath chalta raha
mos-mi bael thee mae, sookh gayee
wo tanaver shajer tha phulta raha
surd raaton mein musafir-on k liye
paer bun kur aalao jalta raha
dil mere tun ka phool sa bacha
pather-on k nagar mein pulta raha
neend hee neend mein khilone liye
khwaab hee khwaab mein bahelta raha*
