tanhai me chala aata hai kyon dikhane ko yahan

har koi dard sajata hai kyun dikhane ko yahan,
ashk aankhon se behata hai kyon dikhane ko yahan,

ruswaai ke raston se guzarti huyi is dunia mein,
phaard gam ke urdata hai kyon dikhane ko yahan,

chaand ki chaahat mein bilakhte bachhon ki tarah,
maatam mohabbat ka kyon dikhane ko yahan,

sukoon ki manzil paane ke joonoon mein har shaksh,
kaafile gam ke bardhata hai kyon dikhane ko yahan,

sab ke khawab hakeekat bane yeh jaroori to nahin,
muhrat armanon ki banata hai kyon dikhane ko yahan,

beshumar aabadiyon se bhari iss dunia mein,
tanhai me chala aata hai kyon dikhane ko yahan.
