Sher on Teer

Yes, teer, or arrow,

too can be the subject of poetry. It is so because an arrow is not a mere physical object used in a war or duet, it is also a metaphor for even the beloved’s eyes. Poets have appropriated the image of arrow differently but always interestingly. Here are some examples.

kab un aankhon ka samna na hua

tir jin ka kabhi KHata na hua
