nai subh chahte hain nai sham chahte hain
na.ī sub.h chāhte haiñ na.ī shaam chāhte haiñ
jo ye roz o shab badal de vo nizām chāhte haiñ
vahī shaah chāhte haiñ jo ġhulām chāhte haiñ
koī chāhtā hī kab hai jo avaam chāhte haiñ
isī baat par haiñ barham ye sitamgarān-e-ālam
ki jo chhin gayā hai ham se vo maqām chāhte haiñ
kise harf-e-haq sunā.ūñ ki yahāñ to us ko sunñā
na ḳhavās chāhte haiñ na avaam chāhte haiñ
ye nahīñ ki tū ne bhejā hī nahīñ payām koī
magar ik vahī na aayā jo payām chāhte haiñ
tirī raah dekhtī haiñ mirī tishna-kām āñkheñ
tire jalve mere ghar ke dar-o-bām chāhte haiñ
vo kitāb-e-zindagī hī na huī murattab ab tak
ki ham intisāb jis kā tire naam chāhte haiñ
na murād hogī puurī kabhī un shikāriyoñ kī
mujhe dekhnā jo 'zāhid' tah-e-dām chāhte haiñ
nai subh chahte hain nai sham chahte hain
jo ye roz o shab badal de wo nizam chahte hain
wahi shah chahte hain jo ghulam chahte hain
koi chahta hi kab hai jo awam chahte hain
isi baat par hain barham ye sitamgaran-e-alam
ki jo chhin gaya hai hum se wo maqam chahte hain
kise harf-e-haq sunaun ki yahan to us ko sunna
na KHawas chahte hain na awam chahte hain
ye nahin ki tu ne bheja hi nahin payam koi
magar ek wahi na aaya jo payam chahte hain
teri rah dekhti hain meri tishna-kaam aankhen
tere jalwe mere ghar ke dar-o-baam chahte hain
wo kitab-e-zindagi hi na hui murattab ab tak
ki hum intisab jis ka tere nam chahte hain
na murad hogi puri kabhi un shikariyon ki
mujhe dekhna jo 'zahid' tah-e-dam chahte hain
