7 Urdu couplets and shers with justuju
justuju(f): search, quest
Justuju is an Urdu word meaning a profound, restless search or quest, often for love, truth, or spiritual fulfillment. Unlike a casual inquiry, it conveys an intense, all-consuming longing that drives one's existence. Differs from mere curiosity by implying emotional turmoil and unfulfilled desire. In poetry, as in Umrao's lament "Justuju jiski thi usko to na paya humne," it evokes bittersweet wandering through life without attaining the sought object.
1 / 7: justuju
mazhdhaaron mein bah gayaa main
aur sochaa ravaani hai
chasing every horizon i saw
i walked away from my roots
swept away by the currents
mistaking it for momentum

us ka nemul-badal to
tu bhi naheen
that which i gave up
in pursuit of you
even you are not an
adequate replacement for that

3 / 7: justuju
taraf taraf hai meri
khaak-e-justuju raushan
my feet have set every journey
ablaze with their passing
everywhere i wandered
the dust of my longing shines
journey, travel
footsteps
glittered, lit up
from (that side)
dust, ashes, worthless
search, quest
brightness, light up

bhaTakne waale
yahaan justuju ki baat na kar
it is a weird maze
this life's highway
oh, the one who is lost
talk not of seeking here

jaakar nazar kahaan

let us see where the gaze
finally comes to rest

is bahaane se magar
dekh li duniya hum ne
what i was looking for
i could not get
but in chasing that desire,
i got to see the world
