Tanha

Dekhiye to lagta hai,
zindagi ki raaho.n mei.n,
ek bhee.d chalti hai.
sochiye to lagta hai,

bhee.d mei.n hain sab tanha.

Jitne bhi yeh rishte hai.n,
kaanch ke khilone hai.n,
pal mein toot sakte hai.n.
ek pal mein ho jaye,
kaun jaane kab tanha!

Dekhiye to lagta hai,
jaise yeh jo duniya hai,
kitni rangeen mehfil hai,
sochiye to lagta hai,

kitna gham hai duniya mei.n,
kitna zakhmi her dil hai.

Woh jo muskurate thay,
jo kisi ko khuwabon mei.n,
apne paas paate thay,
unki neend tooti hai,
aur hai.n woh ab tanha!


Dekhiye to lagta hai,
zindagi ki raahon mei.n,
ek bhee.d chalti hai.
sochiye to lagta hai,

bhee.d mei.n hai.n sab tanha!

  1. So!!! The strict English teacher of yore is actually a soft and reflective poet and that too in Hindi!!!
    One request....
    Try transliteration, it will make writing in Hindi even more effective...and please do away with word verification! It makes it all the more difficult....

  2. Waqt ka hai ye taqaazaa ki
    reh gaya hu mai ab bas aadha
    aankhe moond gin raha har lamha
    anzaani raho pe chal raha tanha
