mere liye aati hai shaam chanda bhi hai mera ghulaam 

dharti se sitaaron tak hai mera intazaam 

raaton ka raaja hoon main 



mahafil saje doloon jidhar se 

saaqi bahake meri nazar se 

chaahoon to abhi khud chal ke aaye jaam 

raaton ka raaja ... 



khidaki khule mujhe bulaaye 

mahalon mein hai mere hi saaye 

sote-jaagate sab jaanen mera naam 

raaton ka raaja ... 



mainen javaan honthon ki laali 

akasar palakon se hi chura li 

saare gulabadan mujhe karate hain salaam 

dharati se sitaaron tak ...
