There's something about Urdu, where the forceful and the confident comes out in such an earthy, direct manner. After ages something came to my mind in Urdu and really enjoyed this. Of course, Urdu connoisseurs may turn their face the other way at this and rightly so, but I cant express how much joy it gives my heart, even though it may look like a B grade shayari.
Imagine a confident, brash beau who is ready to suffer anything, take on any might and has no doubt whatsoever that he will get the woman he wants.
Tumhe paana bada mushkil hai
par isi mein hai mazaa zaalim
Hame tadpaane ka lutf hain tumhe
isi ada par to marte zaalim
Aur kya kahe yeh dil e baimaan
isko to na chheena hota zaalim
Chahe tum ho khafa, ya yeh bair duniya
Ab is zulm ka meetha badla lege zaalim
Ki rafta rafta tadpa tadpa kar, tumne
akhir mein bana diya hame ishq ka aalim
