gham-qirtas pe apne karb ki baaten likhte rahna
ġham-qirtās pe apne karb kī bāteñ likhte rahnā
hijr-kitāb ko paḌhte rahnā sharheñ likhte rahnā
phir yuuñ hogā ik gum-gashta chehrā sāmne hogā
ḳhvāboñ kī dīvār banānā āñhkeñ likhte rahnā
itnā karnā apnī soch kī aan na bikne detā
din kī din hī aur rātoñ ko rāteñ likhte rahnā
aisā vaqt na aane denā sūkheñ soch-samundar
lahroñ se āvāz milānā maujeñ likhte rahnā
bāhar ke is shor meñ terī bāteñ dab jaa.eñ to
andar se jo aatī haiñ āvāzeñ likhte rahnā
'tāhir'! un be-bas lamhoñ kā ahd nibhānā hogā
us ne kahā thā ḳhat mat likhnā ġhazleñ likhte rahnā
gham-qirtas pe apne karb ki baaten likhte rahna
hijr-kitab ko paDhte rahna sharhen likhte rahna
phir yun hoga ek gum-gashta chehra samne hoga
KHwabon ki diwar banana aanhken likhte rahna
itna karna apni soch ki aan na bikne deta
din ki din hi aur raaton ko raaten likhte rahna
aisa waqt na aane dena sukhen soch-samundar
lahron se aawaz milana maujen likhte rahna
bahar ke is shor mein teri baaten dab jaen to
andar se jo aati hain aawazen likhte rahna
'tahir'! un be-bas lamhon ka ahd nibhana hoga
us ne kaha tha KHat mat likhna ghazlen likhte rahna
