Hydrogen cyanide is a hydrogen bonded to a complex ion, cyanide (CN-). The hydrogen is single bonded to the cyanide ion, which is a carbon triple bonded to a nitrogen atom. See the link below for a good representation of this molecule.
electron-domain geometry is linear.
molecular geometry is a linear.
The carbon and nitrogen are triple bonded, meaning the carbon is sp hybridized (180º). Carbons that are sp are linear, so HCN is linear.
HCN has a linear molecule.
HCl is a linear molecule.

All are triatomic molecules but HCN is also heteroatomic molecule.
A molecule is not any kind of bond! Instead it has or contains bonds. The bonds in HCN are covalent but fairly strongly polar.
HCN is a linear molecule and as nitrogen is the most electronegative atom a small negative charge builds on the nitrogen atom and a small positive charge on the hydrogen. This forms a dipole (dipole means two oppositely charged ends). The intermolecular forces between HCN molecules are electrostatic and are caused by the dipole on one molecule interacting with one on another molecule. This is called dipole -dipole interaction.
The polarity of molecules is determined by their 'symmetry'. HCN is a linear molecule. H-CN. Since the -CN- ion is more electronegative than the H+ ion, the -CN side of the molecule is more negative. This gives rise to the polarity of the HCN molecule.

a molecule is polar if it has a lone pair of electrons or if it's not symmetrical (bonded to different elements such as HCN)

H-C≡N I believe it's something along those lines.
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
