Sher on Visaal

We all nurse a desire

for union but desires would not to be desires if they were fulfilled. In poetry, a lover lives with the burning desire for union which remains unfulfilled at large. Here, we have collected some verses that narrate the told and untold stories of separation and union. There are certain turns here that will take you by surprise.

aur bhī dukh haiñ zamāne meñ mohabbat ke sivā

rāhateñ aur bhī haiñ vasl rāhat ke sivā

sorrows other than love's longing does this life provide

comforts other than a lover's union too abide

aur bhi dukh hain zamane mein mohabbat ke siwa

rahaten aur bhi hain wasl ki rahat ke siwa

sorrows other than love's longing does this life provide

comforts other than a lover's union too abide

Faiz Ahmad Faiz

ye na thī hamārī qismat ki visāl-e-yār hotā

agar aur jiite rahte yahī intizār hotā

That my love be consummated, fate did not ordain

Living longer had I waited, would have been in vain

ye na thi hamari qismat ki visal-e-yar hota

agar aur jite rahte yahi intizar hota

That my love be consummated, fate did not ordain

Living longer had I waited, would have been in vain
