Triveni (poetry)

Triveni is a form of Hindi/Urdu poetry initiated by the poet Gulzar.

Unlike sher, a triveni consists of three "hemistichs" (misras).

Rupa & Co. has published his poetry book Triveni.

Sony Music has just released an album Koi Baat Chale which has a few of Gulzar's triveni sung by Jagjit Singh.

A beautiful example of Gulzar's Triveni: 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.
