Raqs mein raat hai badan ki tarah,

Raqs mein raat hai badan ki tarah,
baarisho.n mein hawaa mein ban ki tarah

chaand bhi meri karwato.n ka gawaah,
mere bistar ki har shikan ki tarah

chaak hai daamane qabaaye bahaar,
mere khwaabo.n ke pairhan ki tarah

zindagi tujhse door rah kar main,
kaat loongi jalaawatan ki tarah

mujhko tasleem, mere chaand! Ke main,
tere humraah hoon gahan ki tarah

baarhaa teraa intizaar kiyaa,
apne khwaabo.n mein ik dulhan ki tarah
