Sher on Ehsaas
Feelings have many hues.
However, representing them in words is a delicate affair but the poets have done it in ways that are remarkable both for the way they are conceived as well as expressed. Some examples in this selection would bear this out only too well.
apnī hālat kā ḳhud ehsās nahīñ hai mujh ko
maiñ ne auroñ se sunā hai ki pareshān huuñ maiñ
apni haalat ka KHud ehsas nahin hai mujh ko
main ne auron se suna hai ki pareshan hun main
ḳhudā aise ehsās kā naam hai
rahe sāmne aur dikhā.ī na de
KHuda aise ehsas ka nam hai
rahe samne aur dikhai na de

taklīf miT ga.ī magar ehsās rah gayā
ḳhush huuñ ki kuchh na kuchh to mire paas rah gayā
taklif miT gai magar ehsas rah gaya
KHush hun ki kuchh na kuchh to mere pas rah gaya
āgahī karb vafā sabr tamannā ehsās
mere hī siine meñ utre haiñ ye ḳhanjar saare
aagahi karb wafa sabr tamanna ehsas
mere hi sine mein utre hain ye KHanjar sare

ḳhushbū maar rahī hai mujh ko apnī hī kastūrī kī
kaisi bipta pal rakhi hai qurbat ki aur duri ki
KHushbu mar rahi hai mujh ko apni hi kasturi ki

mujhe ye Dar hai dil-e-zinda tū na mar jaa.e
