Mourning | Urdu poetry | Lantern

Posted on by Shaily Agrawal

Jinki yaad me shazar pe gulo ne ugna chood diya,

Unhi ne hikarat se sunsaan gulistaa chhod diya.

Trees

ceased flowering

mourning the one

who deserted ruined garden

in disgust.

Author’s note: An Urdu sher (couplet) translated into a Lantern (Japanese style of poetry with 1, 2, 3, 4, 1 words). Mine is “nearly a Lantern” because the last line has two words.
