Sher on Badan
Body and soul make us
complete. It is body, however, that is subject to ravages and the stock subject of poets who explore love, passion, and lust in all their manifestations. These poets think of body as a site of sin, of physical pleasure, as also of suffering that looks for balm. You may like to know how human body is more eloquent than souls sometimes and how poets appropriate this subject.
badan ke donoñ kināroñ se jal rahā huuñ maiñ
ki chhū rahā huuñ tujhe aur pighal rahā huuñ maiñ
badan ke donon kinaron se jal raha hun main
ki chhu raha hun tujhe aur pighal raha hun main
uf vo marmar se tarāshā huā shaffāf badan
dekhne vaale use tāj-mahal kahte haiñ
uf wo marmar se tarasha hua shaffaf badan
dekhne wale use taj-mahal kahte hain
