Sher on Hawa

You would often come

across wind in poetry. It blows in so many ways and so many forms that it gets the attention of poets in one way or the other. Now it blows the lamp, and now it turns into a metaphor for life. It also turns into a pleasant breeze and brings us a unique sensation with its cool touch. Have a look at the verses that move around the idea and experience of wind in various forms.
