aap mujh ko manaa liyaa kiije
milte rahiye isii tapaak ke saath

(intihaa : extreme)
aik hii fan to hamne siikhaa hai
jis se miliye use Khafaa kiije

Liked this one! Haven’t heard much of Jaun Elia before, but am starting to like him. Short, simple verses with much to say…
Siyaah saahab,
Jaun Elia is one of my favorite poets who composed some very original couplets. I have some Mushaira recordings of Jaun as well if you want to try them out.
