Inspired by Gulzar's Triveni

Triveni is a form of Hindi/Urdu poetry initiated by the poet Gulzar. Unlike sher, a triveni consists of three misras. The first two are complete in themselves, but the addition of the third misra gives a new dimension all together

Wo gam kaisa jo geela na ho,

Jaise dard ki koi purani zubaan...

Kya bura hai jo aasman rota hai

_________________________________


Socha to tha ki usse dafna dia,
Par bhooton ka dera dhala nahi...
Kabr mein phoolon ki mehek abhi taazi hai

_________________________________

Hum apni oonchaion se dekhte hi rahe,
Aur hawa jaise kisiko dhoond kar guzar gayi...
Lalaten ki dhoop bhi ab bujh rahi hai
