Sher on Rind
Prison house has been
used profusely as a metaphor both in classical and modern Urdu poetry. In classical poetry, it was used mostly in a romantic context but in modern poetry it has been used in many more contexts that are social, and even political at times. Have a look at the verses here and see how variously it has been used and with what connotations.
abhī aate nahīñ us rind ko ādāb-e-mai-ḳhāna
jo apnī tishnagī ko faiz-e-sāqī kī kamī samjhe
abhi aate nahin us rind ko aadab-e-mai-KHana
jo apni tishnagi ko faiz-e-saqi ki kami samjhe
kuchh tarah rindoñ ne dī kuchh mohtasib bhī dab gayā
chheḌ aapas meñ sar-e-bāzār ho kar rah ga.ī
kuchh tarah rindon ne di kuchh mohtasib bhi dab gaya
chheD aapas mein sar-e-bazar ho kar rah gai
abhī raat kuchh hai baaqī na uThā naqāb saaqī
tirā rind girte girte kahīñ phir sambhal na jaa.e
as yet the night does linger on do not remove your veil
lest your besotten follower re-gains stability
abhi raat kuchh hai baqi na uTha naqab saqi
tera rind girte girte kahin phir sambhal na jae
as yet the night does linger on do not remove your veil
lest your besotten follower re-gains stability

riñd-mashrab koī 'beḳhud' sā na hogā vallāh
pī ke masjid hī meñ ye ḳhāna-ḳharāb aatā hai
rind-mashrab koi 'beKHud' sa na hoga wallah
pi ke masjid hi mein ye KHana-KHarab aata hai
ye riñd de ga.e luqma tujhe to uzr na maan
tirā to shaiḳh tanūr o shikam barābar hai
ye rind de gae luqma tujhe to uzr na man

riñd jo zarf uThā leñ vahī sāġhar ban jaa.e
jis jagah baiTh ke pī leñ vahī mai-ḳhāna bane
rind jo zarf uTha len wahi saghar ban jae
jis jagah baiTh ke pi len wahi mai-KHana bane
