Tanha

ek shaKH se patta TuT gira

aur tu ne ThanDi aah bhari

ek shaKH pe khilta shagufa tha

tu us se bhi bezar si thi

tu apne KHayal ke kohre mein

lipTi hui gum-sum baiThi thi

tu pas thi aur main tanha tha

mere dil mein tera gham tha

tere dil mein jaane kis ka

hum donon pas the aur itne

anjaan hawa ka har jhonka

ek sath hi hum se kahta tha

ai rah-e-ishq ke gumraho

tum donon kitne tanha ho

lekin ye use malum na tha

hum ek the ek the hum donon

hum ek hi dukh ke mare the

donon ke dhaDakte sinon mein

sirf ek hi dard sulagta tha

lekin ye use malum na tha

kahta raha wo to yahi hum se

ai rah-e-ishq ke gumraho

tum donon kitne tanha ho
