Sher on Jalwa
We have been a witness
to the spectacles of love in our own ways. But are we also aware of the poets’ perspective on the spectacles of love? Here is a selection that offers multiple variations on the theme of romantic spectacle. These verses are for you to enjoy the pleasures that love foregrounds before us.
ishq kā zauq-e-nazāra muft meñ badnām hai
husn ḳhud be-tāb hai jalva dikhāne ke liye
love is needlessly defamed that for vision it is keen
beauty is impatient too for its splendour to be seen

husn KHud be-tab hai jalwa dikhane ke liye
love is needlessly defamed that for vision it is keen
beauty is impatient too for its splendour to be seen
