Sher on Taghaful

Feigned ignorance has

been a subject of interest for poets. There may be an interesting plot in pretending that one does not know even while one knows. This is also one of the popular themes of romantic poetry. Almost all classical poets have presented curious pictures of this attitude with respect to the lovers and the beloveds. Some examples would bring out different contexts of this attitude.

ik tarz-e-taġhāful hai so vo un ko mubārak

ik arz-e-tamannā hai so ham karte raheñge

ek tarz-e-taghaful hai so wo un ko mubarak

ek arz-e-tamanna hai so hum karte rahenge

Faiz Ahmad Faiz

is nahīñ koī ilaaj nahīñ

roz kahte haiñ aap aaj nahīñ

ah! this denial, nothing can allay

every day you say no, not today

is nahin ka koi ilaj nahin

roz kahte hain aap aaj nahin

ah! this denial, nothing can allay

every day you say no, not today

Dagh Dehlvi

ham ne maanā ki taġhāful na karoge lekin

ḳhaak ho jā.eñge ham tum ko ḳhabar hote tak

Agreed, you won't ignore me, I know but then again

Into dust will I be turned, your audience till I gain

hum ne mana ki taghaful na karoge lekin

KHak ho jaenge hum tum ko KHabar hote tak

Agreed, you won't ignore me, I know but then again

Into dust will I be turned, your audience till I gain

Mirza Ghalib

mujhe aazma raha hai koi ruKH badal badal kar

Shakeel Badayuni

us ne bārish meñ bhī khiḌkī khol ke dekhā nahīñ

Jamal Ehsani

ye adā-e-be-niyāzī tujhe bevafā mubārak
