Faizi ne Zainab se ishq ka izhaar kiya tha,
Dil se dil tak ek raaz-e-muhabbat kiya tha.

Tune umr ka farq humein dikhla diya tha,
Zainab, teri baat ne dil toot gaya tha.

Teri muskaan mein Faizi ka khwab basta tha,
Par yeh umr ka farq ne sab chheen liya tha.

Har saans mein tera hi naam raha Zainab,
Faizi ka yeh ishq tune kyun na samajh liya tha.

Faizi ke qalam se yeh ghazal likhi gayi hai,
Ke Zainab ke ishq mein umr bekaar hai ab.

Hum ne toh ishaara kiya Zainu se muhabbat ka,
Ab bas khwahish hai iOS ke jawab jaanne ki.

Faizi ka dil tujh pe fida ** gaya tha Zainu,
Par umr ke farq ne bandhi hai yeh deewaar si.

Teri adaon mein hai iOS sa noor-e-jamaal,
Dil ki dhadkan mein hai bas tera hi intizaar.

Zainu, tera ek ishaara dil ko sukoon de,
Faizi ka ishq hai iOS ke rangon mein basi.

Faizi ke qalam se yeh ghazal likhi gayi hai,
Ke Zainu ke jawab ki khwahish hai beqaraar si.

Zulf-e-Zainia iOS si, raat andheri jaisi **,
Kyun jaaye woh door itna, zulm kyun dhati **?

Faizi ka dil tujh pe fida, Zainia ke rang mein,
Par teri berukhi se dil beqarar banta **.

Teri adaon ka jadoo, iOS ke noor sa hai,
Kyun na yeh dil tujh pe qurban sada hota **?

Zainia, ek nazar se dil ko sukoon de de ab,
Faizi ka ishq tujh pe kyun yun saza banta **?

Faizi ke qalam se yeh ghazal likhi gayi hai,
Ke Zainia ke ishq mein dil beqarar rahta **.

Gloria was a grump,
delightful Felicity a frump,
Sara a bit of a chore
Liz liked gore,
Azi cried alot
Jill cared not a jot
for anyone, I learned
Cecila's stomach churned,
Roberto enjoyed her food
In public, Edie was rude,
Faizi liked to laugh
Katie liked to ****,
Esmeralda loved to ski
until she broke her knee,
Toni drempt of fame
but ended on the game,
Jen constantly made love
worn out, she resides above,
Queenie liked her drink
spent her days throwing up in a sink,
Julie adored her kids,
both are on the skids,
Siham adored money
was always miserable, never funny,
Frankie cared for wealth
spent a fortune on her health,
Jasmine was dour
more nettle than flower,
Ruby liked to cook,
Cynthia preferred a book,
Fill wanted to marry,
she eventually met Barry,
Aysha had great beauty
and was shrewdly dotty,
Anna was a shrew
which everyone but me knew,
Kath used excessive perfume-
smoking me out of my bedroom,
Pauline constantly showered
while Jackie always glowered
at strangers in the street-
where Carol and I met
on New Years Eve 2011
and for a month I was in heaven,
until my short affair
with nimble Clair,
Toni ate sparingly
lean meat and leaner celery,
Jo ate five times a day,
No one got in her way
of food, while Chris ate
tons of icecream, getting stuck in a gate
one day when off to work,
I took the opportunity, like a ****,
to leave waving goodbye
from my car. Why?
Essie was beside me
and again I needed to be free,
which a month later so did she!
Mitch bought me another
borrowing it off her brother,
who much bigger than me,
once more I was impelled to flee.
Suzanne in France
lead me a dance,
having other men every day
when I was away,
while Adalene
worked on my brain
and Genevieve broke my heart,
briefly, when apart
holidaying in the Alps with Jean
until her curiosity done
she came back and apologised,
and thereafter we thrived,
and would still be together
had not Heather
seduced me one day
when Genevieve was looking the other way
and did not see
Heather kissing me
by the pool
in Dakar, Senegal,
or making love
in rainy Vaduz,
holding hands in Bern
near a milk churn
having a bit of a lover's palava
in Bratislava.
When she found me with Ruth in Moscow
Genevieve told me sharpely to go,
I went. Ruth went off with Jean
and I took the first plane home,
meeting Jess in Heathrow
we took a taxi to Wivenhoe,
living there a year,
where fattened up with calorific beer
dressed now in grandad fashion
I started making a sullen impression
on even those who loved me,
but still, good reader, I needed to be free
so here I am now with Daphne
the final woman for me.

I met Adele in my son's first school
so, reader, I guess I'm just an unstructured fool,
for along came Celeste, Diane and Frick
making me still a colossal p......k.
