Sher on Jabr
Human beings are probably
destined to live under constrains and coercion. This is because they don’t necessarily enjoy the freedom of will that they aspire for. Such situations of compulsion, constraint, coercion, and helplessness relate with our social, political, religious, and cultural lives. Here are some verses that represent various states of constraints and coercion.
ye jabr bhī dekhā hai tārīḳh kī nazroñ ne
lamhoñ ne ḳhatā kī thī sadiyoñ ne sazā paa.ī
ye jabr bhi dekha hai tariKH ki nazron ne
lamhon ne KHata ki thi sadiyon ne saza pai

maiñ huuñ bhī aur nahīñ bhī ajiib baat hai ye
ye kaisā jabr hai maiñ jis ke iḳhtiyār meñ huuñ
main hun bhi aur nahin bhi ajib baat hai ye
ye kaisa jabr hai main jis ke iKHtiyar mein hun
bas ye ik ḳhāna-purī hai karte rahiye dastaḳhat
pūchhiye mat kyā ḳhatā hai is dayār-e-mīr meñ
bas ye ek KHana-puri hai karte rahiye dastaKHat
puchhiye mat kya KHata hai is dayar-e-mir mein
