Palkon pe chaand sitarey sajaney ki aarzu..

Palkon pe chaand sitarey sajaney ki aarzu,
Iss ko hajoom-e-gham mein bhulaney ki aarzu,

Phir ishq ke hisaar* mein le aayi hai humain,
Dasht-e-wafaa main khaak urraney ki aarzu,

Phir us ke hadh-o-haal kisi paikar main dhaalna,
Phir us ko sheher-e-dil main basaaney ki aarzu,

Jis ke liye main sarey zamaney se katt gayi,
Uss aik shakhss ko hai zamaney ki aarzu,

Shab bhar na jaane kis liye roshan rahi Qamar,
Kattiya main ik chiraagh jalaney ki aarzu..
