🫣 Haya (Shyness/Modesty)

[plush pawn]

This is written in a male pov and the translation is attached below. I'd appreciate if you guys can let me know if I captured the male perspective well. ||Ik most of you don't have wives yet, but come on you're a poet.||

Haya ko zara bhool jao
Aankh utha kar ek baar dekh lo,
Ye dooriyan mita kar ek pal ko paas aao.
Apni in apsara-si aankhon se
Dil ko ek baar to chhoo jao.

Haya ko zara bhool jao,
Meri jaan, ek pal ke liye paas aao.

Ek baar to mere in haathon se kuch khao,
Ye sharam-o-haya ko chhod kar
Ek pal ko humse dil ki baat batao.
Hum jaante hain ye aapke liye aasan nahi,
Par yun humein itna na satao.
Humara naam apne naam se jod liya hai,
Ab dil kehta hai — bas yahin raho.

Haya ko zara bhool jao,
Meri jaan, ek pal ke liye paas aao.

Aapki mehndi mein hum apna naam dhoondhte rahe,
Tab tak aap bas baith kar humein dekhti rahe.
Ab kisi aur cheez par dhyaan kahan rahe,
Jab devi swayam saamne ho — dil yehi kahe.

Ab aap hi batayein,
Hum ye tadpan aur kitni der sahein?

Bas ek pal k liye sahi— is haya ko kahi chood aao.
Haya ko zara bhool jao,
Meri jaan, ek pal ke liye paas aao.

Translation:
Forget your modesty for a while,
Raise your eyes and look at me just once.
Erase these distances and come close for a moment.
With those celestial, Apsara-like eyes,
Touch my heart, just this once.

Forget your modesty for a while,
My life, come close for just one moment.

Eat something from these hands of mine, just once,
Leave this shyness and hesitation behind,
And tell me the secrets of your heart for a moment.
I know this isn't easy for you,
But do not torment me this much.
I have already joined my name with yours,
Now my heart says—just stay right here.

Forget your modesty for a while,
My life, come close for just one moment.

I kept searching for my name hidden in your mehndi,
While you just sat there, watching me.
Where is the room to focus on anything else,
When the Goddess (Devi) Herself is before me—so says my heart.

Now, you tell me:
How much longer must I endure this restlessness?

Even if only for a second—leave this modesty somewhere behind.
Forget your modesty for a while,
My life, come close for just one moment.

[wheat drum]

Haaye

[icy sparrow]

beautiful poem ❤️ (even as a queer person i relate with this sooo much )

[wheat drum]

Jab devi swayan saamne ho dil yahi kahe ✨

Bahut sundar likhayi

[plush pawn]

Arrey 😭

[plush pawn]

Tysm!...

[plush pawn]

Hehe

Ty! 😭

[plush pawn]

Ty Chiser!😭

[icy sparrow]

sorry that came out sarcastic

i actually relate with this even if i’m queer

that’s on me i’m sorry

[plush pawn]

Nah nah I got it dw

Don't apologise

[icy sparrow]

i’m too canadian for this

[plush pawn]

Is okie 😭

@wispy heart

[pseudo ocean]

A lot of hope and expectancy in the words. You get the feeling he's hoping she'll say something besides smile modestly. He's wishing to answer the questions in her eyes.

I think another poem from her perspective would be a great addition.

I think it's a nice poem, might work as a song with that repeated line. It look like the original poem is rhyming and metrical?

[plush pawn]

Tysm! That was the idea and yea, I'll look forward to a poem from her perspective as well.

Yep, the original poem is rhyming and I intentionally wrote it like a song. I'm glad that you caught that aspect.
Thankiew!

[frail patio]

Cupid you are a man now😭

[plush pawn]

Now? I mean-
I wrote like three more poems which has a man's pov lmao
I'm glad I could portray a man's pov 😭

[frail patio]

damn

[pliant copper]

During reading it
That wierd blushy smile come on my face
And I'm 19 not even think abt marriage man
I mean
Wowww yaar loved it✨

[plush pawn]

Hehe

[plush pawn]

Noone here thinking about marriage rn but nvm 😭

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[pliant copper]

I k mb

[plush pawn]

[plush pawn]

@sudden wigeon here you go
Ty!

[sudden wigeon]

🫂

Aapki mehndi mei hum apna naam dhoondhte rahe
Tab tak aap bas baith kar hamein dekhti rahe

Damn

It's beautiful

[plush pawn]

That shi from female perspective is so adorable ngl 😭

The poem is in male pov so it was a bit tough to catch the exact glimpses by my end but yea
If I look at it from female perspective then I'd fold lmao

[sudden wigeon]

I find it beautiful from both perspectives

You try to find yourself in her hands
Whilst she already found herself in your face

😌

[plush pawn]

Omagoto damn
That is such a good line 😭

[sudden wigeon]

A diversion in perspective
An ambiguity
Is what makes something relatable in my opinion

The wider and ambiguous it is, the more relatable it'll be.

[sudden wigeon]

Nahh
It's nothing beside your poem

[plush pawn]

Yessir
I could've written it in female pov as well but the male one suited it better

I'd write a response in female pov anyways

[plush pawn]

Tysm for the feedback! 🥰
If you got any critisism then it's welcome

[wispy heart]

Meko yaar wo gana yaad aagya
"Suhagrat h ghunghat utha raha hoon main

Writing from a male's pov is very impressive..wow

[plush pawn]

Tysm! I'm glad you liked it.

[frail patio]

that was smoothe

[plush pawn]

Ikr

[lilac stratus]

you perfectly captured the men they write about in books :)
[men written by female authors]

[brisk basalt]

this poem is very heartwarming and I enjoy the refrain, and when you refer to modesty I believe you are talking about emotionally concealing themselves.

I don't have too much criticism that is considerate of your style, especially considering the original wording is different in the first language

nice poem 🙂

[plush pawn]

Ayy TYSM that's one of nicest comment I could get on this 😭

[plush pawn]

Tysm Landon! The modesty here is more about shyness and holding oneself back coz of self doubts
While the refrain is definitely enjoyable
He's not pushing her to speak up, just making her to know that he cares and wouldn't judge

Tysm for the feedback!

[brisk basalt]

ahh that makes sense, and of course!

[lilac stratus]

I'd love to get your thoughts on my poem
