Sher on Qasid

A messenger is a stereotypical

character in classical poetry. He does not only bring messages, he also helps develop lasting bonds. A lover lying in separation considers the messenger luckier than himself who can meet her and speak to her. Sometimes, even the messenger has to bear the onslaughts of love and has to pay for someone else’s love.

kyā jaane kyā likhā thā use iztirāb meñ

qāsid laash aa.ī hai ḳhat ke javāb meñ

kya jaane kya likha tha use iztirab mein

qasid ki lash aai hai KHat ke jawab mein

Momin Khan Momin

qāsid ke aate aate ḳhat ik aur likh rakhūñ

maiñ jāntā huuñ jo vo likheñge javāb meñ

ere the messenger returns, another letter I

should prepare,I am aware, what she will reply

qasid ke aate aate KHat ek aur likh rakhun

main jaanta hun jo wo likhenge jawab mein

ere the messenger returns, another letter I

should prepare,I am aware, what she will reply

Mirza Ghalib

koī nām-o-nishāñ pūchhe to ai qāsid batā denā

taḳhallus 'dāġh' hai vo āshiqoñ ke dil meñ rahte haiñ

koi nam-o-nishan puchhe to ai qasid bata dena

taKHallus 'dagh' hai wo aashiqon ke dil mein rahte hain

Dagh Dehlvi

ek muddat se na qāsid hai na ḳhat hai na payām

apne va.ade ko to kar yaad mujhe yaad na kar

ek muddat se na qasid hai na KHat hai na payam

apne wade ko to kar yaad mujhe yaad na kar

Jalal Manikpuri

nāma-bar batā ne to dekhe hoñge

kaise hote haiñ vo ḳhat jin ke javāb aate haiñ

o messenger do tell me you surely have espied

what sort of messages are those that get replied

nama-bar tu hi bata tu ne to dekhe honge

kaise hote hain wo KHat jin ke jawab aate hain

o messenger do tell me you surely have espied

what sort of messages are those that get replied
