pūchho zarā ye chāñd se kaise sahar huī

itnī tavīl raat bhī kaise basar huī

puchho zara ye chand se kaise sahar hui

itni tawil raat bhi kaise basar hui

kuchh is tarah qarīb vo aayā mire liye

us kī tavajjoh pyaar meñ chāhat kā ghar huī

kuchh is tarah qarib wo aaya mere liye

us ki tawajjoh pyar mein chahat ka ghar hui

taqsīm phir huī hai virāsat kuchh is tarah

ik maañ zamīñ pe dekhiye phir dar-ba-dar huī

taqsim phir hui hai wirasat kuchh is tarah

ek man zamin pe dekhiye phir dar-ba-dar hui

vo yuuñ to lagtā hai sab ke jaisā

magar judā kuchh janāb meñ hai

wo yun to lagta hai sab ke jaisa

magar juda kuchh janab mein hai

maiñ us kī añkhoñ meñ aise Duubī

ki Duubā koī chanāb meñ hai

main us ki ankhon mein aise Dubi

ki Duba koi chanab mein hai
