...now that the standard to measure a poet’s work depends upon his/her personal character, as is being elucidated by zahraj ms. knowall, i have prepared a list of the greatest urdu poets according to her formula ... if you disagree with the list, please take up the matter with her...

1. meer anees
2. hasrat mohani

1. ghalib...alchoholic and bad credit risk
2. sauda...womaniser
3. momin...alchoholic and poor
4. daagh...ugly looking

ji hi ji meiN voh jal rahi ho gi
chandni meiN tahel rahi ho gi

chand ne taan li hai chadar-e-abr
ab voh kapRay badal rahi ho gi

so gayee ho gi voh shafaq andaam
sabz qandeel jal rahi ho gi

surkh aur sab vadiyoN ki taraf
voh mere sath chal rahi ho gi

chaRhte chaRhte kisi pahaRi per
ab vok kervat badal rahi ho gi

paiR ki chaal se ragaR kha ker
voh tanay se phisal rahi ho gi

neelguN jheel naaf tak pahnay
sandaliN jism mal rahi ho gi

ho ke voh khwab-e-aish se bedaar
kitni hi der shal rahi ho gi
