Shikra 

Shikra is a Punjabi word for a bird. In this poetry, Shiv Kumar Batalvi depicts his lover as a bird who came into his life but suddenly flew away one day. He is mesmerized by the beauty of his beloved and he is sharing his feelings with his mother. This poem reflects the sorrow he felt when his lover went away from him, leaving him alone in spite of all the efforts he made.

Shikra

Punjabi mein shikra ka matlab hota hai ek panchi. Shiv Kumar Batalvi ji ki iss kavita mein vo jis ladki se pyaar karte hai usey ek panchi keh rahe hai jo daana chugta hua aaya aur achanak se ek din udd ke kahi door chala gaya. Vo shikre jaise apne yaar ke baare mein apni maa ko bata rahe hai ki uski aankhein, uske bol, uss se judi har baat beyhadh sundar hai. Badi saadgi se unhone apne dukh ke baare mein bataya hai ki unhone apne yaar ke liye bohot kuch kiya, lekin phir bhi vo unse duur chala gaya.

Shikra

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿਚ ਸ਼ਿਕਰਾ ਕਿਸੇ ਪੰਛੀ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।  ਸ਼ਿਵ ਕੁਮਾਰ ਬਟਾਲਵੀ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਇਸ ਕਵਿਤਾ ਵਿਚ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਯਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਇਕ ਪੰਛੀ ਕਹਿ ਰਹੇ ਨੇ ਜੋ ਦਾਣਾ ਚੁੱਗਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਆਇਆ ਤੇ ਅਚਾਨਕ ਤੋਂ ਇਕ ਦਿਨ ਕਿੱਥੇ ਦੂਰ ਉੱਡ ਗਿਆ । ਉਹ ਸ਼ਿਕਰੇ ਵਰਗੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਯਾਰ ਬਾਰੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਮਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੱਸ ਰਹੇ ਨੇ ਤੇ ਓਹਦੇ ਨੈਣਾ ਦੀ, ਓਹਦੇ ਬੋਲਾ ਦੀ, ਓਹਦੇ ਸਾਹਵਾਂ ਦੀ ਤਾਰੀਫ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਓਹਦੇ ਦੂਰ ਜਾਨ ਦੇ ਗ਼ਮ ਦਾ ਜ਼ਿਕਰ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਨੇ।
