Na de paaya khusiya, toh kya gum hai,
Jee bhar ke mila dard, vo kya kam hai.
Meri vafa ke badley chaahe de dena mujhe pyar ki parchai,
Par E khuda, na dena mujhe ashkon mein bhigi TANHHAI…

Bada keemti hai ye aankh ka paani,
Isey khuda ne sirf dukho ke liye chunaa hai,
Isey yuhi kisi ki yaad mein jaaya nahi karte,
ye sab humne kehte suna hai.

Koi humse pooch kar toh dekhe,
ki ashkon ke kitne saagar humne bahaaye hai.
Saari umar inhi ko peeya hai,
aur inhi se toh nahaye hai.

Un andhero mein jab na koi kareeb tha mere,
Isi tanhaai ne toh nibhaya tha mere saath.
Par kya ek pal ko bhi toone socha E Khuda,
Tere usi tanhaai ki vajah se he nahi thama tha kisi ne mera haath.

Rone ko toh ro lunga mein jaar-jaar,
Tapkenge ye aansu ek nahi hazaron baar.
Par ush tanhai mein bhi nibhane wala koi saath toh ho,
Tanha he sahi, par dil ki koi baat toh ho.

Ab toh ghoot raha hai dum mera ish tanhai mein,
Aur dikh raha hai chehra uska apni he parchai mein.
Ab aur kitna andhere baki hai is tanhai mein,
Is seene mein jal raha hai ek dil yaadon ki gehraai mein.

Ek muddat se nahi dekha use, ab toh intehan ho gayi hai intzaar ki,
Aur sukh rahi hai ye ankhein ummid mein uske deedar ki.
Baat na sahi, par uska ek Akash toh dikha de,
Ek pal ko he sahi, par ush Sakhas se toh mila de..
