ajab kashakash-e-bim-o-raja hai tanhai
ajab kashākash-e-bīm-o-rajā hai tanhā.ī
tire baġhair tirā sāmnā hai tanhā.ī
na.e dinoñ kī salībeñ ga.e dinoñ ke mazār
azaab ḳhud se mulāqāt kā hai tanhā.ī
fazā meñ haiñ kisī tūfān-e-tund ke āsār
safar tavīl hai aur rāstā hai tanhā.ī
bahut udaas hai dil dostoñ kī mahfil meñ
har ek aañkh meñ chehra-numā hai tanhā.ī
shagufta phūloñ kā gul-dasta sohbat-e-yārāñ
bikharte pattoñ kā ik Dher sā hai tanhā.ī

ajab kashakash-e-bim-o-raja hai tanhai
tere baghair tera samna hai tanhai
nae dinon ki saliben gae dinon ke mazar
azab KHud se mulaqat ka hai tanhai
faza mein hain kisi tufan-e-tund ke aasar
safar tawil hai aur rasta hai tanhai
bahut udas hai dil doston ki mahfil mein
har ek aankh mein chehra-numa hai tanhai
shagufta phulon ka gul-dasta sohbat-e-yaran
bikharte patton ka ek Dher sa hai tanhai
main aaftab ko kaise dikhaun tariki
tujhe main kaise bataun ki kya hai tanhai
ajab sukun tha shab aansuon ki barish mein
wo gham-gusar wo dard-ashna hai tanhai
wo KHwab kya tha ki jis ki hayat hai tabir
wo jurm kya tha ki jis ki saza hai tanhai
nahin mile the to tanhai kis qadar thi 'ziya'
wo mil ke bichhDe to us se siwa hai tanhai
