Sher on Dushman
We have certain fixed
notions about an enemy, or adversary. However, there may be variations on this in poetry. A creative mind adds unusual perspective to the image of the adversary. Here are some examples that project adversaries in stereotypical forms but there are others that do it differently. See if you may recognise them in any of these forms.
dostī jab kisī se kī jaa.e
dushmanoñ kī bhī raa.e lī jaa.e
TRANSLATION
While befriending someone,
Opinion of the foes may also be sought.
Sagar Akbarabadi
dosti jab kisi se ki jae
dushmanon ki bhi rae li jae
TRANSLATION
While befriending someone,
Opinion of the foes may also be sought.
