Ishq’e haqeeqi or ishq’e majazi kaha jata he. Yahan ek badnaseeb ke liye majazi ishq hi haqeeqat hogya tha.
“jalva-e-Tuur Khvaab-e-Muusaa hai
kis ne dekhaa hai kis ko dekhaa hai”
Majaz ka dukh hamare liye zoq ka baa’is banta he.
Kisi ke lahoo me likhe hen ye sher.
Once again Majaz successfully present his emotion,greif,and those pleasure which he had been grefily enjoyed through out of his life,…the way he poured his emotion in his pen argubily we can say that it is the best expression…..best thing which i found about him is that he knew the truth of life and he always knew abt the conciquences,he knew what he did thats why he is in such condition.
phir merii aaNkh ho gayii namnaak
phir kisii ne mizaaj puuchaa hai
