Puuraa dukh aur aadhaa chaaNd
hijr kii shab aur aisaa chaaNd
(hijr=separation; shab=night)
itane ghane baadal ke piichhe
kitanaa tanhaa hogaa chaaNd
(tanhaa=lonely)
merii karavaT par jaag uThe
niind kaa kitanaa kachchaa chaaNd
seharaa seharaa bhaTak rahaa hai
apane ishq men sachchaa chaaNd
(seharaa=desert)
raat ke shaayad ek baje hain
sotaa hogaa meraa chaaNd
