Sher on Tasawwur
Imagination is the source
of all our perceptions but imagination bears fruits in many more ways than we may usually perceive. Poets imagine more than we do and they use their imagination more creatively than us. That is how we need to look at these verses that unveil the magic of imagination and leave us stunned.
jī DhūñDtā hai phir vahī fursat ki raat din
baiThe raheñ tasavvur-e-jānāñ kiye hue
Again this heart seeks those days of leisure as of yore
Sitting just enmeshed in thoughts of my paramour
ji DhunDta hai phir wahi fursat ki raat din
baiThe rahen tasawwur-e-jaanan kiye hue
Again this heart seeks those days of leisure as of yore
Sitting just enmeshed in thoughts of my paramour
