tanhāī, tanhāī
dil ke rāste meṅ kaisī ṭhokar maine khāī
ṭūṭe khvāb sāre ek māyūsī hai chhāī
har khuśhī so gaī, jiṅdgī kho gaī
tumko jo pyār kiyā, maine to saज़ā meṅ pāī
tanhāī, tanhāī, miloṅ hai phailī huī tanhāī
khvāb meṅ dekhā thā ek āṅchal maine apne hāthoṅ meṅ
ab ṭūṭeṅ sapnoṅ ke śhīśhe chubhte haiṅ in ākhoṅ meṅ
kal koī thā yahīṅ, ab koī bhī nahīṅ
ban ke nāgin jaise hai sāṅsoṅ meṅ lahrāī
tanhāī, tanhāī, palkoṅ pe kitne āṅsū hai lāī
kyoṅ aisī ummīd kī maine jo aise nākām huī
dūr banāī thī maṅज़il to raste meṅ hī śhām huī
ab kahāṇ jāūṇ maiṅ, kisko samjhāūṇ maiṅ
kyā maine chāhā thā aur kyoṅ kismat meṅ āī
tanhāī, tanhāī, jaise aṅdheroṅ kī ho gahrāī
