maine chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
maiñ ne chāñd aur sitāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
mujh ko rātoñ kī siyāhī ke sivā kuchh na milā
maiñ vo naġhma huuñ jise pyaar kī mahfil na milī
vo musāfir huuñ jise koī bhī manzil na milī
zaḳhm paa.e haiñ bahāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
maiñ ne chāñd aur sitāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
kisī gesū kisī āñchal kā sahārā bhī nahīñ
rāste meñ koī dhuñdlā sā sitāra bhī nahīñ
merī nazroñ ne nazāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
maiñ ne chāñd aur sitāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
dil meñ nākām umīdoñ ke basere paa.e
raushnī lene ko niklā to añdhere paa.e
rañg aur nuur ke dhāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
maiñ ne chāñd aur sitāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
merī rāhoñ se judā ho ga.iiñ rāheñ un kī
aaj badlī nazar aatī haiñ nigāheñ un kī
jin se is dil ne sahāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
maiñ ne chāñd aur sitāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
pyaar māñgā to sisakte hue armān mile
chain chāhā to umaDte hue tūfān mile
Dūbte dil ne kināroñ kī tamannā kī thī
maiñ ne chāñd aur sitāroñ kī tamannā kī thī
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
mujh ko raaton ki siyahi ke siwa kuchh na mila
main wo naghma hun jise pyar ki mahfil na mili
wo musafir hun jise koi bhi manzil na mili
zaKHm pae hain bahaaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
kisi gesu kisi aanchal ka sahaara bhi nahin
raste mein koi dhundla sa sitara bhi nahin
meri nazron ne nazaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
dil mein nakaam umidon ke basere pae
raushni lene ko nikla to andhere pae
rang aur nur ke dhaaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
meri rahon se juda ho gain rahen un ki
aaj badli nazar aati hain nigahen un ki
jin se is dil ne sahaaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
pyar manga to sisakte hue arman mile
chain chaha to umaDte hue tufan mile
Dubte dil ne kinaron ki tamanna ki thi
main ne chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi
