Tishna-labon Ki Nazr Ko Saughat Chahiye

tishna-labon ki nazr ko saughat chahiye

tere nisar thoDi si barsat chahiye

itna bhi mai-kade pe na pahre biThaiye

kuchh to KHayal-e-ahl-e-KHarabaat chahiye

aapas ki guftugu mein bhi kaTne lagi zaban

ab doston se tark-e-mulaqat chahiye

muddat se chashm-o-dil mein koi rabta nahin

kya aur tujh ko gardish-e-haalat chahiye

kis kis KHuda ke samne sajda nahin kiya

kuchh sharm kuchh to aabru-e-zat chahiye

zikr-e-pari-washan ke zamane guzar gae

ab to ghazal mein hamd-o-munajat chahiye

insaf ki ye aankh ye suraj ki raushni

yarab yahi hai din to mujhe raat chahiye

hum chahte hain dahr mein jine ka haq mile

un ko subut-e-farruKHi-e-zat chahiye

kuchh bhi ho maslahat ka taqaza magar nadim

jo dil mein ho zaban pe wahi baat chahiye

ai zulf-e-naz koi hawa-e-fusun ka dam

ahl-e-nazar ko sair-e-tilismat chahiye

tab-e-kamand-e-kakul-e-KHam-dar hoshiyar

khul kar na har kisi pe inayat chahiye

'tahir' jaza-e-himmat-e-ali hai zulf-e-yar

zulfon se khelne ke liye hat chahiye
