mujhe tanha hi rahne do
mujhe tanha hi rahne do

main ab tanhai mein aasuda rahta hun
mujhe ab mahfilon ke shor se wahshat si hoti hai

mujhe ab apni khali jhonpdi ki khamushi mein chain padta hai
yahan koi bhi meri aur mere dil ki baaton mein khalal paida nahin karta

yahan main jazb ki haalat mein ghanton khoya rahta hun
magar koi mera thattha nahin karta

main is mahaul mein apni raza se jita marta hun
yahan jo kaam bhi karna ho main ji-bhar ke karta hun

kabhi ta-der hansta hun
kabhi ta-der rota hun

yahan meri hansi se ya meri aankhon ke nam se koi afsana nahin banta
yahan main hasidon ki bad-nazar

aur dushmanon ke makr se mahfuz rahta hun
yahan aghyar ke dushnam aur ahbab ke tanon ka mujh ko dar nahin hota

so mere dosto tum se guzarish hai
mujhe tanhai mein aabaad rahne do

agar tum mahfil-arai se khush ho
khush raho

lekin
mujhe bhi shad rahne do

mujhe tanha hi rahne do
mujhe tanha hi rahne do
