Sher on Hawa
You would often come
across wind in poetry. It blows in so many ways and so many forms that it gets the attention of poets in one way or the other. Now it blows the lamp, and now it turns into a metaphor for life. It also turns into a pleasant breeze and brings us a unique sensation with its cool touch. Have a look at the verses that move around the idea and experience of wind in various forms.
kuchh to havā bhī sard thī kuchh thā tirā ḳhayāl bhī
dil ko ḳhushī ke saath saath hotā rahā malāl bhī
kuchh to hawa bhi sard thi kuchh tha tera KHayal bhi
dil ko KHushi ke sath sath hota raha malal bhi
