Jism ke is khanddar

Jism ke is khanddar ki tanhai,
Aur yeh raat bhar ki tanhai,

Aik tasveer bhi nahin ghar main,
Uff yeh deewar-o-dar ki tanhai,

Koi aahatT na koi saaya hai,
Har qadam hai safar ki tanhai,

Aik aalam ki hai samete huye,
Meri fikr-o-nazar ki tanhai,

Meri sanson main bass gayi jaise,
Jan-o-dil ki jigar ki tanhai,

Dekhta hai suraj nikal ke roz,
Yeh mere baam-o-dar ki tanhai,

Raat din rote hain dar-o-deewar,
Kha gayi mujh ko ghar ki tanhai,

Zindagi ke safar main ae arpit,
Dekh li darbadar ki tanhai..
