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

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 nahīñ hotā

till love does not cause him disgrace

in this world man has no place

aadmi kaam ka nahin hota

till love does not cause him disgrace

in this world man has no place
