abhi tak Meer ki philosophical shairi suni hai...now listen to something aesthetically invigorating.
Roz o shab guzri hai pench o taab mein rehte tujhe
ai gul e sad chaak kis ki zulf ka tu shaana tha?!!
'Zulf' of the beloved and the 'Gul' have been brought together on one platform, ghazal readers would know that these belong to completely dissimilar paraphernalia.
pench o taab...is associated with the volume and length of the beloved's hair, the red rose with hundreds of cuts (petals) is an image of the deewana and therefore also a self image. The deewana is always lost (pench o taab mein hona) and in being bloody with many bruises and cuts on his body is comparable to the rose. But Pench o taab also connects the rose and the deewana to the shaana (shoulders) of the beloved, on which the beautiful hair cascade and fall....keeping the shaana in constant pench o taab, in a constant state of intoxication getting whiffs from the hair of the beloved.
