One of the most acclaimed celebrity Urdu poet Rahat Indori mesmerized the audience in a Mushaira organised in London in August 2017. His poetry was well received by the audience. A major chunk of his poetry was based on love and its feelings. The audience laughed their hearts out with chanting ‘waah-waah’ on the below ashaar
Mein jab bhi aap ki mahfil se uth ke jaata huun
Gale lagati hai duniya lapak lapak ke mujhe
Bhoolna bhi hai zaroori yaad rakhne ke liye
Paas rehna hai to thoda door hona chahiye
Aate jaate hain kayi rang mere chehre par
Log lete hai maza zikr tumhara karke
Muntazir hoon ke sitaraun ki zara aankh lage
Chaand ko chatt pe bulaloonga ishaara karke
Ab kahan dhoondne jaoge hamare qatil
Aap to qatl ka ilzaam hami par rakhdo
His another shair
Aap ki nazraun me suraj ki hai jitni azmat
Ham charagaun ka bhi utna hi adab karte hain
received applause from the audience.
He also presented the irony of life in the following ashaar
Afwaah thi ke meri tabiyat kharab hai
Logaun ne pooch pooch ke bimaar kardiya
Do gaz sahi magar ye meri milkiyat to hai
Aye maut toone mujhko zameendar kar diya.
