terā chup rahnā mire zehn meñ kyā baiTh gayā
itnī āvāzeñ tujhe diiñ ki galā baiTh gayā
tera chup rahna mere zehn mein kya baiTh gaya
itni aawazen tujhe din ki gala baiTh gaya

The kind of innocence, naturalness, and extempore-ness that Tahzeeb’s appearance and conduct possesses, exactly the same attributes are found in his poetry. Tahzeeb Hafi’s poetry touches the strings of the heart, there is such magic in the arrangement of his words and in the tone of the expression, which takes over the senses of the reader and the listener. Which explains why he is counted among the most popular poets of the younger generation.
Lofty imagination, unbounded meditativeness, pictorialism, build-up of hemistiches, and an arrangement of words expressed with an almost effortless spontaneity, are just some of the characteristics of his poetry. And these characteristics are the reasons why he is invited to recite at every prominent Mushaira.
