chand tanha hai aasman tanha
dil mila hai kahan kahan tanha

bujh gai aas chhup gaya tara
thartharaata raha dhuan tanha

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

ham-safar koi gar mile bhi kahin
donon chalte rahe yahan tanha

jalti-bujhti si raushni ke pare
simta simta sa ek makan tanha

rah dekha karega sadiyon tak
chhod jaenge ye jahan tanha
