मुतज़ाद – The opposites
मुतज़ाद
ख्वाइशों की बिजलियाँ
गरजी बिस्तर पे
तन्हाइयों का शोर कातिलाना रहा
मौसम बदले
साथ करवटें भी
इस प्यास को बुझाने का सलीक़ा न मिला
अर्श – ए – ज़िम उम्मीद छोड़
ताब रखा कमज़ोर सिकुड़ती तपिश पे
ताक़त रुबा , ताज़ा – ए – शिरीन , नाब वही एक सहारा निकला
मुतज़ाद – Opposites, सलीक़ा – proper way, अर्श – ए – ज़िम – highest (seventh) sky, ताब – patience, ताक़त रुबा – that which saps/drains the strength, ताज़ा – ए – शिरीन – fresh and sweet, नाब – unadulterated

Visit my first attempt at Cinquain here. Cinquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of twenty-two syllables distributed as 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, in five lines. It was developed by the Imagist poet, Adelaide Crapsey. Another form, sometimes used by school teachers to teach grammar, is as follows:
Line 1: Noun
Line 2: Description of Noun
Line 3: Action
Line 4: Feeling or Effect
Line 5: Synonym of the initial noun.

Lines 9 and 15 are short – a refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the same metrical length).
