"लेकर उमंग संग चले थे हंसी-ख़ुशी
पहुचे नदी
के घाट तो मेला उजड़ गया।"

"बच्चे छलांग मार के आगे निकल गए
रेले में फँस
के बाप बिचारा बिछुड़ गया।"
(-दुष्यंत
कुमार)
Poet says that life is like a
procession of statute- immersion. You start it with full enthusiasm, move ahead
singing and dancing and when you reach the destination, the
festivity goes away.
In next ‘sher’, the poet
depicts the picture of cut-throat competition using the same simile of
statue-procession. He says that the new generation is much more manoeuvring than
the earlier one. And, the old generation people find themselves lost in this age
of cut-throat competition where your materialistic achievements matter more
than your moral values.
=================================================
"भागी नमाज़े- जुमा तो जाती नहीं है कुछ
चलता हूँ मैं भी
टुक तो रहो, मैं नशे में हूँ।
मस्ती से दरहमी है मेरी गुफ्तगू के बीच
जो चाहो तुम भी
मुझको कहो, मैं नशे में हूँ।"
(-'मीर')
शब्दार्थ : (1) नमाज़े-जुमा = जुमे
की नमाज़, (2) टुक = ज़रा सा, (3) दरहमी = अस्त -व्यस्तता, (4) गुफ्तगू = बातचीत
The poet says that being happy is more important
than any rituals even though a religious one.
In other ‘sher’ he says that because of his inebriated state his
attention is so much scattered that he would not mind if someone says anything
objectionable to him. The pith of the ‘sher’ is that if you get a most-desired
thing in life then you are able to bear a higher level of discomfiture. So, don’t suppress your usual desires if you want to make progress.
