Chaand tanhaa hai aasmaan tanhaa
dil milaa hai kahaan kahaa’n tanhaa

bujh gaii aas chhup gayaa taaraa
thartharaataa rahaa dhuaa’n tanhaa

zindagii kyaa isii ko kahate hai’n
jism tanhaa hai aur jaan tanhaa

hamsafar koii gar mile bhii kahii’n
donon chalate rahe tanhaa tanhaa

jalatii bujhatii sii raushanii ke pare
simataa simataa saa ek makaan tanhaa

raah dekhaa karegaa sadiyon tak
chhod jaayenge ye jahaan tanhaa
