teraa khayaal khvaab khvaab khalvat-e-jaan ki aab-o-taab — Jaun Elia

ek hi to havas rahi hai hamein
apni haalat tabaah ki jaae

aaj bahut din baa'd main apne kamre tak aa niklaa thaa
juun hi darvaaza kholaa hai us ki khushbu aai hai

shishe ke is taraf se main sab ko tak rahaa huun
marne ki bhi kisi ko fursat nahin hai mujh mein

main ab har shakhs se uktaa chukaa huun
faqat kuchh dost hain aur dost bhi kyaa

vo jo na aane vaalaa hai naa us se mujh ko matlab thaa
aane vaalon se kyaa matlab aate hain aate honge

bahut nazdik aati jaa rahi ho
bichhaDne kaa iraada kar liyaa kyaa

kaun kis kaa gham khaae kaun kis ko bahlaae
teri be-kasi tanhaa mary bebasi tanhaa

jo dil ne kahi lab pe kahaan aai hai dekho
ab mahfil yaaraan mein bhi tanhaai hai dekho

tum se mile to khud se ziyaada
tum ko akelaa paayaa ham ne

duur tak ek khalaa hai so khalaa ke andar
sirf tanhaai ki surat hi nazar aaegi

chaand ko tum aavaaz to de lo
ek musaafir tanhaa to hai

us se meraa koi rishta niklaa
mere jaisaa vo bhi tanhaa niklaa
