chod di tu ne hey kia ulfat ki rah
Aaj kal tera kahin charcha nahi

justuju ka phal mgr meetha nahi
kaj ada seemab ki surat shakeel
or jab is k siwa chara nahi
This ghazal by Afzal Shakeel Sandhu beautifully captures a range of emotions, including love, disillusionment, hope, and regret. Each couplet (sher) provides a unique glimpse into the poet's reflections on these themes.
**First Couplets:**
"Lies are told in the world about what isn't,
No door, no window is ever truly open."
This couplet suggests that people in the world often lie about the nature of things, claiming that nothing exists, while in reality, there are no true opportunities or openings, symbolizing a lack of genuine truth.
**Second Couplets:**
"Friends, congratulations on your dreams of luxury,
Life isn't as hopeful as it seems."
The poet congratulates friends on their dreams of a luxurious life but simultaneously hints at the harsh reality that life isn't as hopeful or fulfilling as those dreams.
**Third Couplets:**
"Lost in your thoughts, in your memory,
Not a moment passes without thinking of you."
Here, the poet expresses being constantly immersed in thoughts and memories of a loved one, indicating that not a single moment goes by without this person occupying their mind.
**Fourth Couplets:**
"Always regretful of your deceit,
You never truly opened your eyes to see me."
This couplet conveys the poet's regret over being deceived by their beloved, who never truly saw them for who they are, symbolizing a lack of genuine understanding or acknowledgment.
**Fifth Couplets:**
"Have you abandoned the path of love?
These days, there's no talk of you anywhere."
The poet questions whether the beloved has given up on the path of love, noting that there is no longer any mention or discussion about them.
**Sixth Couplets:**
"Though there is a desire to behold,
The fruit of the search is not sweet."
Here, the poet expresses a longing for the pleasure of seeing their beloved, yet acknowledges that the result of this quest is not rewarding or satisfying.
**Seventh Couplets:**
"Like a mercury's erratic grace, O Shakeel,
And when there's no other choice."
In the final couplet, the poet compares the beloved to the erratic beauty of mercury, implying an unpredictable and elusive charm, and concludes that there is no other alternative but to accept this.
This ghazal weaves together the themes of love, disappointment, hope, and inevitability, painting a poignant picture of the poet's emotional landscape.
