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 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

Anwar Mirzapuri

riñd jo zarf uThā leñ vahī sāġhar ban jaa.e

jis jagah baiTh ke leñ vahī mai-ḳhāna bane

rind jo zarf uTha len wahi saghar ban jae

jis jagah baiTh ke pi len wahi mai-KHana bane

Asghar Gondvi

rind masjid meñ ga.e to uñgliyāñ uThne lagīñ

khil uThe mai-kash kabhī zāhid jo un meñ aa ga.e

rind masjid mein gae to ungliyan uThne lagin

khil uThe mai-kash kabhi zahid jo un mein aa gae

abhī aate nahīñ us rind ko ādāb-e-mai-ḳhāna

jo apnī tishnagī ko faiz-e-sāqī kamī samjhe

abhi aate nahin us rind ko aadab-e-mai-KHana

jo apni tishnagi ko faiz-e-saqi ki kami samjhe

Aale Ahmad Suroor

mai na ho sahī kuchh to ho rindoñ ke liye
