Hi All,
Today a philosophical sher from Meer Taqi Meer...
The sher is
Saraapaa aarzu hone ne banda kar diya hum ko
Vagarna hum Khuda the, gar dil-e-bemudda_aa hote
-Meer
Glossary:
Saraapa = from head to toe
Vagrana = Otherwise
Bemudda_a = Without any issue/yearning/desire
The crux is, I am a man since I have desires. If not then I would have been God. So in this couplet he is telling us why we are man and different from God, but interesting thing is, it is not clear whether he is deriding god or praising him and one can take the sher both ways and that I think is the real beauty of sher
Enjoy
Abid
