A Glance at his Poetry and Poetic Journey :- 1) While doing Matriculation, he used to listen to Urdu Gazals sung by such singers as Mehdi Hassan, Ghulam Ali, Parvez Mehdi and later Jagjit Singh, Pankaj Udhas etc. This sparked in him the flame of penning poetry in Urdu.However,he could feel that poetry in Urdu was not merely rhyming of words such as kaam,jaam and naam. This feeling made him run after genuine poets who had the knoweldge of rules of poetry thats is Urooz. 2) His poetry is not limited to one message or theme it is true that he has been writing since long,but published no book as yet.He himself admits as under

"Shayari Kee Kami Nahin Mujhme,                         Bas Zara Waqt Hi Nahi Milta."

One more couplet of the same ghazal in which he has eulogised the incomparable Mohd.Rafi can be quoted here:

"Aaj Bhi Achha Gaane Wale Hain,                         Par Mohammad Rafi Nahi Milta."

He has promised to get his book publised shortly in which we can relish such couplets as follow:

"Jine Talaash Nayi Manzilon Kee Hoti Hai,                        Purane Raastey Unko Jacha Nahin Karte."

"Mumkin Ho Toh Jalne Se Bacha Lena Ghron Ko,                      Kuchh Log Chiraghon Se Ujala Nahin Karte."

"Mujhe Un Bastiyon Kee Aarzoo Hai,                         Jahan Milte Nhi Taale Ghron Par."

"Mai Hilti Shaakh Se Darta Nahin Hoon,                          Mujhe Vishwas Hai Apne Paron Par."

"Ab Toh Aage Nikalna Baaqi Hai,                          Waqt Ke Peechhe Padh Gaya Hoon Main."

"Koi Do Chaar Barsaton Ko Toh Saawan Nahin Kehta,                          Mahinon Barshen Hone Se Mausam Naam Milta Hai."

"Mujhko Itna Bhi Satao Na Siyasat Walo,                            Main Kahin Bhool Na Jaaon Ki Mulazam Hoon Main."

"Woh Mast-e-Pur Raunat Hain Toh Hum Bhi Zor-e-Ulfat Hain,                             Khuda Bhi Jhuk Ke Milta Hai Agar Sajdon Main Taaqat Ho."

"Agar Ehsaas Zimmadaariyon Ka Jaag Jaye Toh,                              Udha Deta Hai Sab Neendon Ko Bistar Bhool Jate Hain."

"Kyon Meri Izzat Utaari Ja Rahi Hai Har Jagah,                               Koi Khanjar Hai Na Pistol Hai Meri Dastaar Main."

"Kal Ko Mumkin Hai Ki Phir Se Jaag Jaye Dosti,                                Ek Darwaza Chalo Rakh Lete Hain Deewaar Main."

"Mujhe Toh Matlabi Logon Ne Gher Rakha Hai,                                Main Apni Nek Dili Ka Hisab Kis Se Loon."

"Log Toh Ghair Hain Logon Se Shikayat Kaisi,                                Badnaseebi Main Toh Apne Bhi Badal Jate Hain."
