Tanhai...........

Kal jab mai udaas baithi thi,
Na jane kiski aahat si hui,
Ek alag sa ehsaas hua,
Mai chaunk kar pichhe mudi,
Par yeh kya... Yaha toh koi nahi hai,
Mai ghabra gayi, saham gayi,
Aur idhar udhar dekhne lagi,
Tabhi mere ander se ek awaj aayi,
Tu kise dhoondh rahi hai,
Kiski raah tak rahi hai,
Kiske intezaar mei udaas baithi hai,
Jo ki tera hai hi nahi,
Jab saya tera na hua,
Toh parayon ka itezaar kyu,
Kyu kisi ke intezaar mei aansu tham nahi rahe,
Tabhi maine apne mann ko samjhaya,
Nahi aur koi na sahi,
Yeh sham aur iski tanhai toh meri hai,
Yeh akeli udaas shaam toh apni hai,
Mai isi mei apni khushi dhoondhungi,
Mai toh bas iski hi raah takungi,
Jab bhi mera man udaas hoga,
Mai shaam se milungi,
Aur is tanha shaam ke sath,
Apni tanhai baatungi,
Aur koi na sahi yeh shaam toh meri hai,
Mai iske hi sahare reh lungi,
Yeh shaam toh mere pyare waqt ka sabut hai,
Isne toh woh sare pal dekhen hai,
Use mehsoos kiya hai,
Phir mai kyu na ise apna kahun,
Yehi toh hai jisne ab tak,
Sath diya hai mera,
Yehi toh hai bas meri apni,
Meri shaam pyari shaam.......
