[Chand phir nikla, magar tum na aaye
 Jala phir mera dil, karu kya main haay]-- (2)
Chand phir nikla.....
Yeh raat kehti hai. woh din gaye tere
Yeh jaanta hai dilki tum nahi mere -- (2)
Khadi hu main phir bhi nigahe bichaaye
Main kya karu haai, ke tum yaad aaye
Chaand phir nikla, magar tum na aaye
Jala phir mera dil, karu kya main haai...
Chand phir nikla...
Sulagte seene se dhuaan sa uthta hai
Lo ab chale aao ke dam ghut ta hai -- (2)
Jala gaye tann ko baharon ke saaye
Main kya karu haai ke tun yaad aaye
Chand phir nikla, magar tum na aaye
Jala phir mera dil karu kya main haai
Chand phir nikla.......
