Shaero-Shayri-2 Poem by Tribhawan Kaul

SHAER(couplets) in hindi/urdu are the couplets which express the
feelings of love, sadness, joy, affection and different other emotions in a beautiful poetic way in just two lines. The following couplets(from my book Sab Rang/2010) are posted in hindi alongwith its english version. English translation is also posted bringing out the meaning and essence of the couplets to the best of my capability.

द ो स ् त म ि ल े ए स े ज ो अ ह स ा ं फ र ा म ो श न थ े
ह म े ं ह ी ज ़ ज ् ब ा त ो ं क ा , क द ् र क र न ा न आ य ा .
(Dost mile aise jo ehsanfaramosh na the
Hame hi zazbaton ka, kadr karna na aya.)

Friends I befriended, were never ungrateful
It was I who couldn’t appreciate their feelings.
ब ी ज ब ो त ा क ो ई , फ ल ख ा त ा क ो ई
ज़ म ी ं क ो प ू छ न े , क ौ न आ य े य ह ा ँ .
(beej bota koyi, phal khata koi
Zami ko poochne, kaun aaye yahan.)

One sows, another reaps
Who feels for the actual creator?

र ो क े ग ु ज ा र ो य ा ह ं स क े ग ु ज ा र ो
य ह ज ि ं द ग ी त ु म ् ह ा र ी ह ै , त ु म ् ह ी स ं व ा ं र ो .
(Ro ke guzaro ya hans ke guzaro
Yeh zindgi tumahri hai tumhi sanwaro)

Live life lamenting or laughing
Choice be your’s, to make it happen.
