ye aur baat ki ye sehr besh-o-kam pe chala
ye aur baat ki ye sehr besh-o-kam pe chalā
siyāh-rāt kā jaadū magar na ham pe chalā
udhar se pahle bhī kuchh sarfarosh guzāre the
rah-e-talab meñ nishān-e-qadam qadam pe chalā
ye tā.irān-e-chaman kā nasīb kyā kahiye
vo tiir un ke liye vaqf hai jo kam pe chalā
ḳhudā ḳhudā ke ishāre pe lauT lauT gayā
taḌap taḌap ke tarīq-e-sanam sanam pe chalā
kabhī ḳhudā kī parastish kabhī sanā-e-butāñ
rah-e-arab pe kabhī jāda-e-ajam pe chalā
asīr-e-dām na hogā mirā dil-e-āzād
kisī kā hukm kabhī mauj-e-yam-ba-yam pe chalā
tujhe bhī dekh liyā ham ne o ḳhudā-e-ajal
ki terā zor chalā bhī to ahl-e-ġham pe chalā
ye naqsh-e-pā haiñ ki zanjīr-e-mauj-e-ḳhūñ yaaro
ye kaun turfa-javāñ jāda-e-sitam pe chalā
lab-o-nigāh pe mohreñ lagī rahīñ 'tāhir'
kisī kā zor na lekin mire qalam pe chalā
ye aur baat ki ye sehr besh-o-kam pe chala
siyah-raat ka jadu magar na hum pe chala
udhar se pahle bhi kuchh sarfarosh guzare the
rah-e-talab mein nishan-e-qadam qadam pe chala
ye tairan-e-chaman ka nasib kya kahiye
wo tir un ke liye waqf hai jo kam pe chala
KHuda KHuda ke ishaare pe lauT lauT gaya
taDap taDap ke tariq-e-sanam sanam pe chala
kabhi KHuda ki parastish kabhi sana-e-butan
rah-e-arab pe kabhi jada-e-ajam pe chala
asir-e-dam na hoga mera dil-e-azad
kisi ka hukm kabhi mauj-e-yam-ba-yam pe chala
tujhe bhi dekh liya hum ne o KHuda-e-ajal
ki tera zor chala bhi to ahl-e-gham pe chala
ye naqsh-e-pa hain ki zanjir-e-mauj-e-KHun yaro
ye kaun turfa-jawan jada-e-sitam pe chala
lab-o-nigah pe mohren lagi rahin 'tahir'
kisi ka zor na lekin mere qalam pe chala
