Sher on Jannat
We all have heard of
heaven and hell but we have not seen either of them. It occupies our imagination as it does the imagination of the poets. Poetry in all languages has constructed heaven and hell in their own ways but the Urdu poets have added yet another set of meanings to them. This selection brings some of them to you.
ham ko ma.alūm hai jannat kī haqīqat lekin
dil ke ḳhush rakhne ko 'ġhālib' ye ḳhayāl achchhā hai
hum ko malum hai jannat ki haqiqat lekin
dil ke KHush rakhne ko 'ghaalib' ye KHayal achchha hai
