Eyelashes (mizhgaan) in urdu poetry. A thread.

قد سرو چشم نرگس رخ گل دہان غنچہ
کرتا ہوں دیکھ تم کوں سیرِ چمن ممولا

क़द सर्व चश्म नर्गिस रुख़ गुल दहान ग़ुंचा
करता हूँ देख तुम कूँ सैर-ए-चमन ममोला

– आबरू शाह मुबारक / آبرو شاہ مبارک

My grandmother once mentioned that Zoon Begum had performed at their place in Habba Kadal, Srinagar. According to her, Zoon Begum's expressions and voice were unmatched and truly exceptional.

سانس میں آوازِ نے ہے دل غزل خواں ہے ذہینؔ
شاید آنے کو ہے وہ جانِ بہاراں اس طرف

साँस में आवाज़-ए-नै है दिल ग़ज़ल-ख़्वाँ है 'ज़हीन'
शायद आने को है वो जान-ए-बहाराँ इस तरफ़

– ज़हीन शाह ताजी / ذہین شاہ تاجی

@joshiamitabhevo Shukriya, hazrat.

بہت مشکل ہے دنیا کا سنورنا
تری زلفوں کا پیچ و خم نہیں ہیں

बहुत मुश्किल है दुनिया का सँवरना
तिरी ज़ुल्फ़ों का पेच-ओ-ख़म नहीं हैं

ab ashk-e-hinaaii se jo tar na kare mizhgaañ
vo tujh kaf-e-rañgiiñ kaa marnaa na huaa hogaa

If you don't wet your eyelashes with henna-like tears,
Then your being dyed red by that hand would have been for nothing.

[Nikhil @imrozing]

balaa se gar mizha-e-yaar tishna-e-khuuñ hai
rakhuuñ kuchh apnii bhii mizhgaan-e-khuuñ fishaañ ke liye

Even if the beloved's eyelashes are thirsty for blood, no matter
I should keep some for my own blood-shedding eyelashes too.
