The background of this 'sher' is that Dina is a city 16 km west of Jhelum city on highway N5. If you are traveling East to West on N5 then Dina is further ahead of Jhelum .

Following sher made me laugh and therefore I chose it to share here. A lot of imagination has gone behind the creative thought presented in this here.

Following sher has this phoenetic feeling to it. A donkey's bray is considered an unpleasant sound in Pakistan . The literal translation is that the poet kept braying like a donkey whole night while crying and waiting for the beloved to show up.

Another important aspect of the book is that Shaiq Saheb has not tried to do any 'islaah' (correction) on the poetry. This has preserved the natural innocence and 'be-saakhtagi' (spontaneity) of the transport poetry. Many 'ashaar' are not hum-wazan, and many have problem with 'tazkeer-o-taanees' (gender) e.g. feminine words sometimes are refered to as masculine and vice versa. But this lawlessness in poetry is what makes it so colorful and enjoyable. For example enjoy the following sher which presents its subjects in reverse gender.

Following sher probably qualifies as prose, but nevertheless it conveys its meaning in an innocent way.
