Example
[edit]A beautiful example of Gulzar's Triveni:
- ज़ुल्फ़ में यूँ चमक रही है बूँद
- जैसे बेरी में तनहा एक जुगनू
- क्या बुरा है जो छत टपकती है
- Transliteration
- Zulf mein yun chamak rahi hai boond,
- Jaise beree mein tanhaa ik jugnoo
- kyaa buraa hai jo chhat tapaktee hai!!
- Translation
- The (water) glitters so in (your) hair
- As a lone firefly in (a) bush
- What's so bad if the roof drips
The addition of the third line implies that the water drop in the hair is due to a dripping roof and since it creates a visage of such beauty, the poet is unperturbed by it.
