din bhar
na khaya kuch, na piya kuch
ghar pohanch kar shaam ko
chup-chap katha padhi choti si
aur chutki bhar chawal hath ke
bandhe chunri ke kone mein

raat ke sadhe-nau baje
chhat ke andhere tukde se
pani chadaya,
chawal vaare
aur chunri ki chalni se dekha
mere chand ne raat ke chand ko

aankhen band karin apni aur yaad kiya
chehra mera,
tabhi kahin jake
khaya kuch aur piya kuch
aise manayi karvachauth
kal chand mere chand ne
