Sher on Ghamand
False Pride is a negative
human quality. It mars a man and demeans him; makes him selfish and narcissistic and does not allow him to see beyond his own self. In poetry, however, the beloved’s pride is of a different kind and it brings pain and suffering to the lover. Here is small selection on the subject of false pride.
āsmāñ itnī bulandī pe jo itrātā hai
bhuul jaatā hai zamīñ se hī nazar aatā hai
aasman itni bulandi pe jo itraata hai
bhul jata hai zamin se hi nazar aata hai
shohrat kī bulandī bhī pal bhar kā tamāshā hai
jis Daal pe baiThe ho vo TuuT bhī saktī hai
shohrat ki bulandi bhi pal bhar ka tamasha hai
jis Dal pe baiThe ho wo TuT bhi sakti hai
