bahut raat baad aaj need aayi

aaj chand ne chandani failayi
bahut raat baad aaj need aayi

dar raha andhere se kuch yun
saher tak aankh na lag paayi

raha intezaar aftaab ka aise
jaise uspe apni jaan ban aayi

bahut chahaa tum saath ho par
pehlo mein behthi rahi tanhai

kuch khwaab rahe undekhe aur
andhere ki haqiqat nazar aayi

hawa ki dastak pe laga tum ho
bahar koi surat na nazar aayi

raha brahm itne roz yehi dil
aur dil-i-tamanna na mil payi

aaj nikala hai chand phir se
aaj phir teri surat nazar aayi

aaj chand ne chandani failayi
bahut raat baad aaj need aayi
