Sher on Taghaful
Feigned ignorance has
been a subject of interest for poets. There may be an interesting plot in pretending that one does not know even while one knows. This is also one of the popular themes of romantic poetry. Almost all classical poets have presented curious pictures of this attitude with respect to the lovers and the beloveds. Some examples would bring out different contexts of this attitude.
ik tarz-e-taġhāful hai so vo un ko mubārak
ik arz-e-tamannā hai so ham karte raheñge
ek tarz-e-taghaful hai so wo un ko mubarak
ek arz-e-tamanna hai so hum karte rahenge
is nahīñ kā koī ilaaj nahīñ
roz kahte haiñ aap aaj nahīñ
ah! this denial, nothing can allay
every day you say no, not today
is nahin ka koi ilaj nahin
roz kahte hain aap aaj nahin
ah! this denial, nothing can allay
every day you say no, not today
ham ne maanā ki taġhāful na karoge lekin
ḳhaak ho jā.eñge ham tum ko ḳhabar hote tak
Agreed, you won't ignore me, I know but then again
Into dust will I be turned, your audience till I gain
hum ne mana ki taghaful na karoge lekin
KHak ho jaenge hum tum ko KHabar hote tak
Agreed, you won't ignore me, I know but then again
Into dust will I be turned, your audience till I gain
kabhī yak-ba-yak tavajjoh kabhī daf.atan taġhāful
mujhe aazmā rahā hai koī ruḳh badal badal kar
kabhi yak-ba-yak tawajjoh kabhi dafatan taghaful
mujhe aazma raha hai koi ruKH badal badal kar
