kahan se aana hai har aadmi yahan tanha
kahāñ se aanā hai har aadmī yahāñ tanhā
rulā ke ham ko chalā jaanā hai kahāñ tanhā
yazīd-e-asr ne gherā hai yuuñ mujhe jaise
muqāble meñ ho ik tere be-kamāñ tanhā
lage haiñ ḳheme vahīñ aaj kārvānoñ ke
gayā thā shahr meñ thak kar jahāñ jahāñ tanhā
ye kaun rahtā hai saa.e kī tarah saath mire
rah-e-talab meñ to maiñ huuñ ravāñ-davāñ tanhā
jo dekhiye mire hamdam haiñ mere saath magar
uThā rahā huuñ maiñ bār-e-ġham-e-jahāñ tanhā
suno jo kahte haiñ sargoshiyoñ meñ shahr ke log
amīr-e-shahr se kab maiñ huuñ bad-gumāñ tanhā
bujhāo jald tumhārī bhī varna ḳhair nahīñ
kabhī jalā hai chaman meñ ik āshiyāñ tanhā
ḳhalish kisī kā sahārā bane koī kyuuñ kar
yahāñ har ek kā honā hai imtihāñ tanhā
kahan se aana hai har aadmi yahan tanha
rula ke hum ko chala jaana hai kahan tanha
yazid-e-asr ne ghera hai yun mujhe jaise
muqable mein ho ek tere be-kaman tanha
lage hain KHeme wahin aaj karwanon ke
gaya tha shahr mein thak kar jahan jahan tanha
ye kaun rahta hai sae ki tarah sath mere
rah-e-talab mein to main hun rawan-dawan tanha
jo dekhiye mere hamdam hain mere sath magar
uTha raha hun main bar-e-gham-e-jahan tanha
suno jo kahte hain sargoshiyon mein shahr ke log
amir-e-shahr se kab main hun bad-guman tanha
bujhao jald tumhaari bhi warna KHair nahin
kabhi jala hai chaman mein ek aashiyan tanha
KHalish kisi ka sahaara bane koi kyun kar
yahan har ek ka hona hai imtihan tanha
