Sir Jee, kamal tey jhoot da aye. Saadhi tey bunyaad e jhoot tey paye aye. Kadhi such bole kay dekhiye, mun karwa ho jaye ga.
Sir ji, touhaada jawab nehin tussi tey kamal kar ditta jay. Jairra bollay tey jhoot vi such lagay. Well done, sir. Kuch mazeed irshad bhi ho jai.
The poem depicts the present day norms of the society, how sad that Lie has overtaken Truth…..everyday the deterioration goes on.
So well written …. reminds me of the power of four liners by Raees Amrohwi.
Issue explained was pending till solution from divinity, THEE conveyed “nahi Anil munkar”, understanding the concept define jurisdictions between saach and jhoot shall reflect in the deeds&doings of person or society as well displays the level of loyalty to nature and humanity.
So true about what is happening in our daily lives.
Very well done: the last two lines remind me (rightly or wrongly) of Mian Mohammed Baksh of Saiful Muluk fame. Thank you.
