ek pal bhi mere haal se ghafil nahin Thahra
kyun phir wo mere dard mein shamil nahin Thahra
haalat ke pale hue ifrit ke hathon
sine mein kabhi sans kabhi dil nahin Thahra
har KHwahish-e-jaan mar ke sab rahaten taj ke
juz mere koi gham ke muqabil nahin Thahra
jis shaKHs ko aata tha hunar nauhagari ka
wo shaKHs bhi ab ke lab-e-sahil nahin Thahra
kuchh is ke siwa aur bhi ilzam bahut the
kab muntazir-e-KHanjar-e-qatil nahin Thahra
Ghazal
Ek pal bhi mere haal se ghafil nahin Thahra
