ख़ुद से लड़ें कि आज तो मैदान साफ़ है

दुश्मन, न कोई फ़ौज, न घोड़े न शहसवार
ख़ुद से लड़ें कि आज तो मैदान साफ़ है

साहिल की तिशना रेत पे जो मेहरबाँ हुई
दरया भी ऐसी मौज के बेहद ख़िलाफ़ है

  2. Tishna means thirsty. Hence the poet is saying that the even the sea does not approve of the wave which quenches the thirst of sand on the shore. Think of it like a government officer wanting to do good for the poor people, but the government does not let him :). Couplet can be used for any poetry that has two lines like Doha or sher. so your word is correct.
