ASAD - 15

I thought of inserting this unplanned Sher in this series, because of the question on "nazaakat" raised by Ranjani. But then, this Sher has it's own beauty ! Now I wonder, why I didn't plan to put it in the first place!

Mind you, the Sher has not so much "nazaakat", although it has the word "nazaakat" in it. But it has a fantastic imagination, for which Poets are well known. In Sanskrit/Hindi/Marathi it's called "Kalpana-vilaas".

bosaa = kiss
aariz = cheek

kya nazaakat hai ! ki aariz unke neele pad gaye
humne to bosaa liya tha, KHwaab me tasveer ka !

He kissed her photograph in his dream, and his "nazuuk mehbooba" got her cheeks hurt !
These poets are amazing !!

ASAD _also_ stands for "A Sher A Day" !
