Sher on Intiqam
Revenge is one the baser
human passions but it overpowers human beings sometimes and causes disasters. This is also a stock theme of classical Urdu poetry. Strangely enough, lovers reach a stage when they wreak revenge on one another, reach a point of no return, and suffer consequently all their lives. Some shades of this negative passion may be seen in this selection.
koī tum sā bhī kaash tum ko mile
mudda.ā ham ko intiqām se hai
koi tum sa bhi kash tum ko mile
muddaa hum ko intiqam se hai
ham ne to ḳhud se intiqām liyā
tum ne kyā soch kar mohabbat kī
hum ne to KHud se intiqam liya
tum ne kya soch kar mohabbat ki
tujh se vafā na kī to kisī se vafā na kī
kis tarah intiqām liyā apne aap se
tujh se wafa na ki to kisi se wafa na ki
kis tarah intiqam liya apne aap se

ḳhud apne aap se lenā thā intiqām mujhe
maiñ apne haath ke patthar se sañgsār huā
KHud apne aap se lena tha intiqam mujhe
main apne hath ke patthar se sangsar hua
maiñ zaḳhm khā ke girā thā ki thaam us ne liyā
muaaf kar ke mujhe intiqām us ne liyā
main zaKHm kha ke gira tha ki tham us ne liya
muaf kar ke mujhe intiqam us ne liya
ajab junūn hai ye intiqām kā jazba
shikast khā ke vo paanī meñ zahr Daal aayā
ajab junun hai ye intiqam ka jazba
shikast kha ke wo pani mein zahr Dal aaya
husn ko sharmsār karnā hī
ishq kā intiqām hotā hai
husn ko sharmsar karna hi
ishq ka intiqam hota hai

ḳhud aag de ke apne nasheman ko aap hī
bijlī se intiqām liyā hai kabhī kabhī
by setting fire to my nest with my very hand
I have avenged myself with lightning often time
KHud aag de ke apne nasheman ko aap hi
bijli se intiqam liya hai kabhi kabhi
by setting fire to my nest with my very hand
I have avenged myself with lightning often time
ye intiqām hai yā ehtijāj hai kyā hai
ye log dhuup meñ kyuuñ haiñ shajar ke hote hue
ye intiqam hai ya ehtijaj hai kya hai
ye log dhup mein kyun hain shajar ke hote hue
