Ik shakhs purana yaad aaya....

Bikhri bikhri shaamon main

Sehmi sehmi raaton main

Tanha Tanha lamhon main

Gumsum gumsum baaton main

kuch guzra zamana yaad aaya

Aaj gosha-e-tanhai main

Ik shakhs purana yaad aaya

Kaghaz ki tehreeron main

Dhundli si tasveeron main

Ik chehra anjana yaad aaya

Wo parhna usay kitaabon main

Aur Dhoondna usay khawaboon main

Usy paany ki is koshish main

Meri neend ka jaana yaad aaya

Aaj gosha-e-tanhai main

Ik shakhs purana yaad aaya....
