aadmi apni zat mein tanha

aadmi apni zat mein tanha
aalam-e-shash-jihat mein tanha
ai khuda tu hi be-misal nahin
main bhi hun kaenat mein tanha


mujh ko har ek baat ka gham hai
main hun har ek baat mein tanha
maut ke dasht-e-be-kanar mein gum
shahr ke hadsat mein tanha


mujh ko kis jurm mein utar diya
kar-zar-e-hayat mein tanha
be-aman dushmanon ki zad mein hun
dahr ke somnat mein tanha


aap-apni talash hai mujh ko
hun ajab mushkilat mein tanha
