tannhai ki yahi kahaani hai

tannhai woh oss ki bund hai,
jo taru ke pushp-pattiyon par
ek moti ki bund si achi lagti hai.

par jab pattiyan unmein doob jaaye
to ashru si lagti hai.

tannhai woh andhere ki aas hai,
jo khud ka ehsaas karati hai.
jab vyathit man gatha sunaye
to chup kar sunti jaati hai.

tannhai woh aawaaz hai,
jo bin kahe sab kuch keh jati hai.
tanhaayi woh laaw hai..
jo kabhi jalti hai, kabhi jalaati hai.

kabhi aanhsu hai, kabhi paani hai,
kabhi sathi hai, kabhi veeraan hi hai,
tanhayi saade panno ki kahaani hai.

tannhai woh taar hai tarano ki
jinse dhun bhi aati hai,
par in tarangon ke path par
rehti rawaani hai.

kabhi aanshu hai, kabhi paani hai,
tannhai ki yahi kahaani hai.
