सावन-भादों साठ ही दिन हैं फिर वो रुत की बात कहाँ अपने अश्क मुसलसल बरसें अपनी-सी बरसात कहाँ

चाँद ने क्या-क्या मंज़िल कर ली निकला, चमका, डूब गया हम जो आँख झपक लें सो लें ऎ दिल हमको रात कहाँ

पीत का कारोबार बहुत है अब तो और भी फैल चला और जो काम जहाँ को देखें, फुरसत दे हालात कहाँ

क़ैस का नाम सुना ही होगा हमसे भी मुलाक़ात करो इश्क़ो-जुनूँ की मंज़िल मुश्किल सबकी ये औक़ात कहाँ

The Poet

Ibn-e-Insha

1927 · 1978

Sher Muhammad Khan, immortalized under the pen name Ibn-e-Insha, was a literary wanderer who observed the world with a brilliant mix of deep melancholy and razor sharp wit. Born in 1927 in the Jalandhar district of Punjab, he migrated to Pakistan and became one of the most beloved Urdu poets and travelogue writers of his generation. His most famous ghazal Insha Ji Utho Ab Kooch Karo carries an overwhelming sense of world weariness and final departure, sung beautifully by generations of classical vocalists. Yet, alongside this intense sorrow, he authored travelogues filled with hilarious, biting satire that dissected human follies across the globe. He served in the United Nations, traveling extensively before his premature death in London in 1978. He remains the poet of the restless soul, wrapping profound existential grief inside breathtaking lyrical beauty.
