Shaero-Shayri-4 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 posted bringing out the essence of the couplets to the best of my capability.

प ् य ा र क ो र ि श ् त े म े ं ब ं द न ा न ह ी ं ल ग त ा अ च ् छ ा
ब स , उ न क ा आ न ा ल ग े भ ल ा औ ज ा न ा ब ु र ा I
(Pyar ko rishte mei bandhna nahi lagta accha
Bus, unka aana lage bhalla aur jaana bura)

love likes not showing off relationship
smile on face or tear drops make it apparent.

प ् र े म ए क प ि ं ज र ा स ु न ् द र त ा ए क ज ा ल
फ ं स त ा ह ै फ ि र भ ी प ं छ ी , य ह ी ह ै क म ा ल .
(Prem ek pinjra, sunderta ek jaal
Phansta hai phir bee panchi, yehi hai kamaal.)

Beauty a trap and love being a cage
Wonder! gets entangled even a sage.

न फ र त क ी भ ी त ो ऐ स े , क ी म े र ा द ि ल ल े ग ए
ज ो प ् य ा र क र त े , त ो क ह र ढ ह ग य ा ह ो त ा .
(Nafrat ki bhi to aise, ki mera dil le gaye
Jo pyar karte, to kehar deh gaya hota)

Even his hatred made me to love him more
had he loved me,
it would have been a catastrophe.
