Hi,
Just a few shers on Zulf, one of the favorite topics of all poets. This has been used in numerous shers and subject to all kinds of experiments.
The shers are,
Chedti hai kabhi lab ko kabhi rukhsaron ko
Tum ne zulfon ko bahut sar pe chada rakha hai
-Khwamkhah Hyderabadi (Funny name... huh??)
Wo lajaye mere sawal par ki utha sake na jhuka ke sar
Udi zulf chehre pe is tarah ki shabon ke raaz machal gaye
-Majrooh Sultanpuri
Glossary:
Rukhsaron = cheeks
Khwamkhah = Futile, Zabardasti, Bekaar mein
Shabon = nights
Observe the use beautiful use of Muhavra "sar pe chadana" in the sher. In the second sher the beauty lies in how zulf playing on face is betraying the mysteries of nights.
Enjoy
Abid
About Me
- Abid Husain
- Hmmm... I am a weird sort of person with strange ideas. I am honest to the point that I embarrass people around me. I am stupid enough to think, that all people are good, they love my poetry and the color of shirt I am wearing. Still, I consider my self a first born cynic who is an optimist to the point of foolishness. I am a man of bizarre interests, I mean Urdu Poetry and Cricket Umpiring, give me a break!! I try to read classics and get bored and still read them. I have read Lord of the Rings three times. stupid huh?? Finally, I am a person who takes small pleasures of life very seriously. A cup of tea (my friends will vouch for that), a good book, a cool wind, a good joke, a simple song, a nice sher can give me immense pleasure. I am uncommon, abnormal.
