Tanhaai

Javed Akhtar ...

tanhaai, tanhaai

dil ke raaste mein kaisi thokar maine khaayi
toote khwaab saare, ek maayusi hai chhaayi
har khushi so gayi, zindagi kho gayi
tumko jo pyaar kiya maine to sazaa main paayi
tanhaai, tanhaai, milon hai phaili hui tanhaai

khwaab mein dekha tha ek aanchal maine apne haathon mein
ab toote sapnon ke shishe chubte hai in aankhon mein
kal koi tha yahin, ab koi bhi nahin
banke naagin jaise hai saanson mein laheraayi
tanhaai, tanhaai, palkon pe kitne aansu hai laayi

kyon aisi umeed ki maine jo aise naakaam hui
door banaayi thi manzil to raste mein hi shaam hui
ab kahan jaaoon main, kisko samjhaaoon main
kya maine chaaha tha aur kyon kismat mein aayi
tanhaai, tanhaai, jaise andheron ki ho gehraayi
