Tum udhar aur ham idhar tanha,

kitna lamba hai yeh safar tanha.

Peelay pattoN say daataaN poochho,

shaaKh tanha hai aur shajar tanha.

Saath manzil peh sabnay chhoRh diya,

ab bhaTakti hai rehguzar tanha.

Iss hujoom-e-jahaaN ko kya kahiye,

saath chaltay haiN sab magar tanha.

Yeh sitaaray tumheiN bata deiNgay,

‘Chand’ bhaTka hai dar ba dar tanha.
