kū-e-haram se niklī hai kū-e-butāñ kī raah
haa.e kahāñ pe aa ke milī hai kahāñ kī raah
sad-āsmāñ ba-dāman o sad-kahkashāñ-ba-dosh
bām-e-buland-e-yār tire āstāñ kī raah
mulk-e-adam meñ qāfila-e-rūh jā basā
ham dekhte hī rah ga.e us bad-gumāñ kī raah
luTtā rahā hai zauq-e-nazar gaam gaam par
ab kyā rahā hai paas jo ham leñ vahāñ kī raah
ai zulf-e-ḳham-ba-ḳham tujhe apnā hī vāsta
hamvār hone paa.e na umr-e-ravāñ kī raah
gul-hā-e-rañg-rañg haiñ afkār-e-nau-ba-nau
ye rahguzār-e-sher hai kis gulsitāñ kī raah
'tāhir' ye manzileñ ye maqāmāt ye haram
allāh re ye raah ye kū-e-butāñ kī raah
