Poetry Collection
In classical poetry, a beloved is a tormentor who brings untold miseries to the lover. This is also why the beloved’s eye brows have been compared with swords and the eye lashes with arrows. In modern poetry, however, these metaphors have gone stale and a tormentor has acquired many more identities that have a socio-political implication.

ki mire qatl ke baa'd us ne jafa se tauba haae us zud-pashiman ka pashiman hona
after she had slain me then from torture she forswore alas! the one now quickly shamed was not so before this couplet highlights the tragic irony of a repentance that comes too late. ghalib mocks the beloved's nature of being 'quick to regret' (zood-pashemaan) because, in this specific instance, the decision to stop being cruel occurred only after the lover had already died from that very cruelty.
zulm phir zulm hai badhta hai to mit jaata hai khuun phir khuun hai tapkega to jam jaega
qatil ne kis safai se dhoi hai astin us ko khabar nahin ki lahu bolta bhi hai
jab lagen zakhm to qatil ko dua di jaae hai yahi rasm to ye rasm utha di jaae
shahr ke aaiin men ye mad bhi likkhi jaegi zinda rahna hai to qatil ki sifarish chahiye
yuun na qatil ko jab yaqin aaya ham ne dil khol kar dikhai chot
ye sach hai chand lamhon ke liye bismil tadapta hai phir is ke baa'd saari zindagi qatil tadapta hai
kaun pursan hai hal-e-bismil ka khalq munh dekhti hai qatil ka
sar na hoga dosh par to kya na hogi guftugu hichkiyon se shukr qatil ka ada ho jaega
qatl to nahin badla qatl ki ada badli tiir ki jagah qatil saaz uthae baitha hai
ki mire qatl ke baa'd us ne jafa se tauba haae us zud-pashiman ka pashiman hona
after she had slain me then from torture she forswore alas! the one now quickly shamed was not so before this couplet highlights the tragic irony of a repentance that comes too late. ghalib mocks the beloved's nature of being 'quick to regret' (zood-pashemaan) because, in this specific instance, the decision to stop being cruel occurred only after the lover had already died from that very cruelty.
