ye be-mausam jo purwai bahut hai
surur-e-dard-e-tanhai bahut hai

sharik-e-gham na ho koi to achchha
akeli ho to tanhai bahut hai

abas shikwa ki bunden dhundhte ho
mere honton ki gahrai bahut hai

to kya main dushmanon mein aa gaya hun
yahan to shor-e-paspai bahut hai

wo chalta hai hamesha bhid le kar
use ehsas-e-tanhai bahut hai

tumhaari yaad kitni ba-wafa hai
ki jab aai hai to aai bahut hai

kaha tha tum ne tanhai mein milna
ab aa jao ki tanhai bahut hai

tum ab 'saulat' kaho kuchh shokh ghazlen
jo dil ne li wo angdai bahut hai
