Soon after he met Ustad Om Krishn Rahat, a prominent Urdu poet from Fridabad India, who had moved to Sydney.

2. EIK MUTHI MEIN MEREY KHWAB (A Handful of Dreams) - the second collection of Urdu Poetry was published by “Sham-k-Baad Publications in Lahore in 2007.
Renowned Urdu poet and critic Dr Abrar Ahmad reviewed Saeed Khan's 2nd book EIK MUTHI MEIN MEREY KHWAB (A Handful of Dreams) in 2007. According Dr Abara Ahmad:
"The collection is heavily dominated by ghazal -- and unfolds a promise of going ahead with brilliance in this genre ... The strongest point he scores here is his creative ability to utilize words in their proper meaning. His stance is essentially neoclassical ... He seems deeply immersed in the greater ghazal tradition, and understands high class ghazal. All his work is meant to convey some thoughts, ideas and feelings. Subjective issues occupy the main bulk of his content. These include a longing, a sense of loss, an unquenched thirst for love and allied feelings. But he is fully conscious of the objectivity around and far from him"."At places he offers political comments, at others he turns philosophical. A wave of romanticism runs through as an undercurrent in all his poetry".
