baDa shahr aur tanha aadmi

december ka mahina aur dilli ki sardi
sitaron ki jhilmilati jhurmut se pare

aasman ke ek sunsan goshe mein
punam ka thethurta hua koi chand jaise

baadalon mein khata hai mutwatir hachkole
haule haule

tanha musafir
aur dur tak kohre ki chadar mein lipti

bal khati sadken
dhund ki ghubar mein khoya hua india gate

thand mein thokaren khata musafir
khush nasib hai

baadalon mein ghus jata hai chand
meri christmas ki raunaqen phaili hain tamam

sitaron se raushan saje dhaje bazar
laziz khanon ki khushbuen jahan phaili hain har-su

bazar ki garm fazaon mein
mai ki sarmasti mein duba hua hai pure shahr ka shabab

tanha musafir ki
chand roza masafat bhi kya shai hai yaro!

ham-watanon se dur
apno se dur

jamuna tat par jaise bin manjhi ke naw
boat club ke sard pani mein jaise

tairta rukta hua koi tanha hubab
tanha musafir sochta hai

koi hai jis ka wo hath tham le haule haule
koi hai jo us ke sath kuchh daur chale haule haule

dhund mein khoi hui manzilen
tawil sadken

aur tanha musafir
jaise punam ka thethurta hua koi chand

baadalon mein khata hai mutwatir hachkole
haule haule
