Tanha

Kuch Pal Zindagi Ke Basar Huey Hain Tanha Humse
Shab-e-Furqat Mein Lamhey Guzrey Hain Tanha Humse

Kaise Batlaon Unn Lamho’n Ki Veeraniya Tumhein
Shama Jalti Rahi Kisi Ki Yaad Mein Tanha Humse

Bachpan Se Jawani Ki Shadid Dhoop Mein
Kayee Khushyaa’n Bach Ke Nikli Tanha Humse

Gard Si Jama Rakhi Thi, Humne Maazi Ki Yaado’n Per
Kuch Aur Zakhmo Ki Dhool, Milne Aayee Tanha Humse

Judai Ke Manaazir Nashtar Chubhotey Hain Seeney Mein
Koi Ulfat Mein Juda Ho ke, Tadpa Hai Tanha Humse

Aankho’n Se Behtey Khoon, Khushk Ho Gaye Aankho’n Mein
Palko’n Ki Surkh Mehfil Bhi Veera’n Hai Tanha Humse

Taarikh Ke Panno Se Tut-tey Ek Ek Din Ki Qasam
Kitne Lamho Ka Kaarva’n Guzar Gaya Tanha Humse

Hum Kaha’n Se Aa Rahey They, Aur Ab Kaha’n Ja Rahey Hain
Umr-e-Tamaam Kat Gayee, Yu’n Hi Tanha Humse

Unn Ke Aansu Zanjeer Ki Tarah Pairo’n Mein Bandhey They
Rukhsat-e-Salam Bhi Na Ho Saka, Shakir Tanha Humse
