Dashtey tanhai maen aye janey jahan larzaan hain 
teri awaaz k saye terey honton k sarab 
Dasht e tanhai maen doori k khaso khak taley 
Khil rahey haen terey pehloo k samaan aur gulab 

Dshsht tanhai....... 

Uth rahi hae kaheen qurbat sey teri saans ki aanch 
Apni khushboo maen sulagti hui madham madham 
Door ufaq par chamakti hui qatra qatra 
Gir rahi hae teri dildar nazar ki shabnam 

Dasht e tanhai..... 

Is qadar piyar sey aye jan e jahan rakha hae 
Dil k rukhsar pe is waqt teri yaad ney haath 
yeun guman hota hae gar che abhi hae subh faragh 
Dhal gaya hijr ka din aa bhi gai wasal ki raat 

Dasht tanhai.....
