har raat ye chand-sitare,
uda le jate hai mere mann ko,
na jane kis virane ki or shayd,
door kahin,
koi suni dagar hai,
koi suna nagar hai,
par kahn hai magar,
bunta hua yadon ka jala,
mera tasavur mera hum,
pyala,
wo mere dil ka khot hai,
har raat le chalta hai mujhe,
ek nai dagar par,
ek nai rah-gujar par,
mera mann mujhe bhatkata hai,
koi mujhe bina awaj diye bulata hai,
koi roke mujhe,
koi toke mujhe,
shayad ek gunah,
mere mann ka maaf ho.
