Dard-e-tanhai
Aao lay jao meray dil kay khazanay
SeeNch daalo yeh apnay gulshan veeranay
TanhaaioN ka zehar piya hai is amrit kay liyay
TaNz-o-fiQroN maiN jiya hai is amrit kay liyay
Barti gayi,barti gayi aur talaash tab junoon ho gayi
Meri deewanagi mehfiloN maiN haNsi ka majmoon ho gayi
Ukta kay uth gaya har aashna kareeb say
Aur ziNdagi ruk gayi us maNzar ajeeb pay
Ik taraf urnay ki lalak
Ik taraf zameeN ki pakar
Ik taraf nai duniya ka shouq
Ik taraf ajnabiyat ka khauf
Magar phit khudi nay behoshi ki aakhri zaNzeer bhi tor di
ParoN maiN apnay hosh ka dum bhar,aasmanoN say hor li
Nigaah phir uth gayi jeet haar kay sawaal say
Ufaq dar ufaq barta gaya noor hosh kay jamaal say
Phir dil dil lay kar gaya yeh wusat-e-ahsaas
Behosh sab hujoom thay laut aayaa maiN udaas
TanhaaioN maiN magar ab bhi
Umeed ki lau jalti hai.
