Sher on Ruswai
Shers in this category
have had a context in love poetry. There are many occasions when lovers have to cut a sorry figure and face embarrassment. Urdu poets have exploited this idea a great deal. Here are some examples.
kaise kah duuñ ki mujhe chhoḌ diyā hai us ne
baat to sach hai magar baat hai rusvā.ī kī
How can I say that I have been deserted by my beau
Its true but this will cause me to be shamed for evermore
kaise kah dun ki mujhe chhoD diya hai us ne
baat to sach hai magar baat hai ruswai ki
How can I say that I have been deserted by my beau
Its true but this will cause me to be shamed for evermore
ishq jab tak na kar chuke rusvā
aadmī kaam kā nahīñ hotā
till love does not cause him disgrace
in this world man has no place
ishq jab tak na kar chuke ruswa
aadmi kaam ka nahin hota
till love does not cause him disgrace
in this world man has no place

From Eden, of Adam's exile, I am familiar, though
Greatly humiliated from your street didI have to go
