Mirza Ghalib’s Urdu Poetry on Bride Dress with Hindi Kavita
Mirza Ghalib, the undisputed maestro of Urdu, dipped his pen in the crimson ink of passion, weaving magic with two lines that echo through time: “Yeh nazar yeh nigaar, yeh libaas-e-hunar / Apni taarifi khud hi karti hai shaam.” (This gaze, this glance, this dress of artistry / Speaks its own praises, this evening.) Here, the red dress transcends mere fabric, becoming an extension of the woman’s fiery spirit, a proclamation of her captivating beauty.
Urdu Hindi Shayari on Surkh Joda / Red Dress
Faiz Ahmed Faiz, the revolutionary poet, painted a different shade of crimson in his verses. In “Lalbaas” (Red Dress), the red becomes a symbol of defiance, a woman’s rebellion against societal norms. He writes, “Yeh laal libaas, yeh darya-e-sukhan / Is duniya mein meri jaan-e-nishaan.” (This red dress, this ocean of words / In this world, my mark of identity.) The red dress becomes a shield, a banner of freedom, a refusal to be muted or confined.
But the red dress is not just rebellion or passion. In the hands of a contemporary poet like Munira Ahmed, it becomes a poignant symbol of love and loss. In her book “Daera,” she writes, “Lakh jodaay pe, yeh surkh libaas / Kisi mehndi ki khushbu hai yaas.” (On the red hennaed feet, this red dress / A scent of mehndi, a fragrance of memory.) The red wedding dress, once a promise of joy, now hangs heavy with the weight of a love that has faded, leaving behind a bittersweet echo of what once was.
Conclusion: Red wedding Dress Poetry in Urdu
