Akela betha soch rha hu main,
dil ke armaan tatol rha hu main,

jo fariyaad ki thi rab se maine
us fariyaad ke panne chhod rha hu main,

vo dard mila hai, tha jo na mera kabhi,
us dard ki davai khoj rha hu main,

akela betha soch rha hu main,
dil ke armaan tatol rha hu main,

ye faili tanhai, jo khane ko aaye,
koi halki c aahat bhi dil ko chu jaye,

kamre me betha khud ko tassli de rha hu main,
akela betha soch rha hu main,
dil ke armaan tatol rha hu main,

ab bethe bethe khyal uska aana,
un khyalo ke bajaar mein uska chehra kho jana,

kuch pal bad usko pa lena,
per tanhai mein ye bhi bhul rha hu main,

akela betha soch rha hu main,
dil ke armaan tatol rha hu main,

kuch bayan karu ya na karu,
akhir dil to akela hai or tanhai ka savera hai,

tabhi to sham ko gopal ke paas dil ke raj khol rha hu mein,
akela betha soch rha hu main,
dil ke armaan tatol rha hu main…
