Eik Chaand Tenha Khara Raha

Eik chaand tenha khara raha
Merey aasmaan se zara pary,

Merey saath saath saffar mei tha
Merii manzilloon sey zara pary,

Terii justujuu ke hisaar sey
Terey khwaab terey khayal sey,

Maii wo shakhs thaa jo khara raha
Terii chaahatoon sey zara pary,

Kabhii dil kii baat kahii na thii
Jo kahi to wo bhi dabee dabee,

Merey lafz poorey to they magar
Terii samaa'toon sey zara pary,

Tuu chalaa gaya merey ham.safar
Zara daykh murr ke to eik nazar,

Merii kashtiyaa han jalii huii
Terey saahiloo sey zara pary...
