tanha tu jab se chhoD ke jaan-e-jigar gai
tanhā tū jab se chhoḌ ke jān-e-jigar ga.ī
āñkhoñ se niiñd ruuTh ke jaane kidhar ga.ī
dil meñ uThā thā dard vo thamne lagā zarā
aa.e jo tum to merī tabī'at sudhar ga.ī
ghar kī zarūratoñ meñ kahīñ dab gayā thā maiñ
ab kyā batā.ūñ kaise javānī guzar ga.ī
lambī ho 'umr us kī yahī hai du'ā merī
aane se jis ke merī ye qismat sañvar ga.ī
tū dekh-bhāl kar zarā 'shākir' uḌaan bhar
zālim hai duniyā kitnoñ ke ye par katar ga.ī
tanha tu jab se chhoD ke jaan-e-jigar gai
aankhon se nind ruTh ke jaane kidhar gai
dil mein uTha tha dard wo thamne laga zara
aae jo tum to meri tabi'at sudhar gai
ghar ki zaruraton mein kahin dab gaya tha main
ab kya bataun kaise jawani guzar gai
lambi ho 'umr us ki yahi hai du'a meri
aane se jis ke meri ye qismat sanwar gai
tu dekh-bhaal kar zara 'shakir' uDan bhar
zalim hai duniya kitnon ke ye par katar gai
