AMIR KHUSRO IN A MINIATURE PAINTING..
( Painting source..Internet)
KEH MUKARIYAAN COMPOSED BY AMIR KHUSRO
Amir Khusro also wrote Keh Mukariyan . Many readers may be surprised by these words . Yes, 'Keh mukariyaan ' is a style of conveying riddles or Pahelis in poetry . The strength of this Keh Mukariyan is finally to deny all at the end of the poem and reveal the answer to the riddle . The speaker or the poet provides hints till the end of the poem and finally provides such an answer that surprises the listener or the reader . This is Keh Mukariyaan style .We have a some what similar style in English poetry as well. Poets like Lewis Carrol, Emily Dickinson , Charles Simic and A A Milne have also written poetic riddles . I quote some Keh Mukariyaan of Khusro .
(1)
Ati surang hai rang rangeele
Hai gunvant bahut chatkeele
Ram bhajan bin kabhi na sota
Aey sakhi saajan ,na sakhi tota...
( parrot)
2
Aankh chalaave bonh chalaave
Naach koodh ke kheil dikhaave
Mun mein aave le jaaon andher
Aey sakhi saajan na sakhi bandher
( monkey )
3
Lipat lipat ke vaake soyee
Chhaati paanv lagaa kar royee
Daant se daant bajey to taada
Aey sakhi saajan na sakhi jaada
( winter )
4
Aap jale aur mohe jalaave
Pee pee kar more munh mein aave
Eik mein ab maroongi mukkaa
Aey sakhi saajan na sakhi hukka
( hookah)
5
Dhur Dhur karoon to dodaa aaye
Kshan aangan kshan baahar jaaye
Deehal chhorr kahin na suttaa
Aey sakhi saajan na sakhi kuttaa
( dog )
6
Jab maangoon tab jal bhar laave
Mere munn ki vipat bujhaave
Munn ka bhaari tan ka chhotaa
Aey sakhi saajan na sakhi lotaa
( water jug )
7
Raat samay woh ghar meray aave
Bhor bhaye woh uthi ghar jaave
Yeh acharaj hai sab se nyaara
Aey sakhi saajan, na sakhi taara.
