mujhe wo chhod kar jab se gaya hai intiha hai
rag-o-pai mein faza-e-karbala hai intiha hai

mere haalat hain naraaz is pe kya karun main
gurezan aasmanon se dua hai intiha hai

gham o aalam hain ya hasraten hain zindagi mein
tumhaare baad baqi kya bacha hai intiha hai

faqat tum hi nahin naraaz mujh se jaan-e-jaanan
mere andar ka insan tak khafa hai intiha hai

kahin manzar asalib-e-hawas ke chaar-su hain
kahin pe khun-aluda faza hai intiha hai

khamoshi tod de ai khaliq-e-arz-o-sama ab
teri makhluq ban baithi khuda hai intiha hai

ghazal jo tum pe 'tahir' ne likhi thi jaan-e-'tahir'
wahi to zinat-e-baam-e-baqa hai intiha hai
