Another prominent poet of California, Farooq Taraz, captivated the audience:
Bay saro-samaan apnay qaflay chaltay rahay
Ham say ziada is safar maiN faslay chaltay rahay
Raabta dar raabta bantay rahay sab raabtay
Sisila dar sisila sab silsilay chaltay rahay
The audience was also delighted by the style of Naseer Humayoun:
Hijr ka phool sada khwab sara maiN rakkha
Us kee khushboo nay mujhay apnee hawa maiN rakkha
Rizq manga hay magar ishq say kam maNga hay
Fasla maiN nay talab aur dua maiN rakkha
Us kee Aawaz andheray maiN nazar Aatee hay
Raat bhar us nay mujhay apnee zia maiN rakkha
Tashie Zaheer was the last in the local poets who thrilled the audience with his introspective poetry. Another interesting feature of Tashie Zaheer's presentation was his successful attempt to amuse the audience with his unique taranum style.
Rehaee gar naheeN mumkin to phir saza hee milay
Kisee tarah to hamaiN dad-e-be-gunahee milay
Hamara jurm to sabit na ho saka laikin
Hamaray qatl kay ahkaam badshahee milay
Bas aik hamaray chehray pay sajee kalak thee
Wagar-na shehr main sab log parsa hee milay
