URL Rewriting Using .htaccess for PHP

I want to convert this URL example.com/post.php?id=12345&title=xyz to example.com/12345/xyz.

I am able to do example.com/12345 but I can't get /xyz.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^post/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ post.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^post/([a-zA-Z-0-9-]+)/ post.php?id=$1
