chand tanha hai asman tanha
dil mila hai kahan kahan tanha

bujh gai as chup gaya tara
thartharata raha dhuan tanha

zindagi kya isi ko kahte hain
jism tanha hai aur jan tanha

hamsafar koi gar mile bhi kahin
donon chalte rahe tanha tanha

jalti bujhti si raushani k pare
simta simta sa ek makan tanha

rah dekha karega sadiyon tak
chor jayenge ye jahan tanha
