janāb ke ruḳh-e-raushan kī diid ho jaatī
to ham siyāh-nasīboñ kī iid ho jaatī
janab ke ruKH-e-raushan ki did ho jati
to hum siyah-nasibon ki id ho jati
mere surḳh lahū se chamkī kitne hāthoñ meñ mehñdī
shahr meñ jis din qatl huā maiñ iid manā.ī logoñ ne
mere surKH lahu se chamki kitne hathon mein mehndi
shahr mein jis din qatl hua main id manai logon ne
iid ke ba.ad vo milne ke liye aa.e haiñ
iid kā chāñd nazar aane lagā iid ke ba.ad
id ke baad wo milne ke liye aae hain
id ka chand nazar aane laga id ke baad
iid kā din to hai magar 'ja.afar'
maiñ akele to hañs nahīñ saktā
id ka din to hai magar 'jafar'
main akele to hans nahin sakta
kahīñ hai iid kī shādī kahīñ mātam hai maqtal meñ
koī qātil se miltā hai koī bismil se miltā hai
kahin hai id ki shadi kahin matam hai maqtal mein
koi qatil se milta hai koi bismil se milta hai

The word Eid means the day of happiness that returns again and again. Eid-ul-Fitr, an important Islamic festival, is often referred to as “MiThi Eid” in India. This festival is celebrated all over the world on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal after the fasting of Ramazan. On this day Muslims also give away ‘Fitrah’ or alms to the poor, and that’s why the occasion is called Eid-ul-Fitr. In Urdu poetry, there is such an abundance of couplets that center around “Eid ka Chand dikhna” and “Eid Ke Din Gale Milna” that an entire book could be compiled around them. Eid Ka Chand tum ne dekh liyaa Chand Ki Eid ho gayi hogii “Eid Ka Chand Hona” is a proverb quite common in everyday parlance that means to meet after a long time. Wonder what “Eidi” is all about? Well, the bounties or gifts offered by the elders of the house or relatives to children are known as Eidi. Additionally, a Nazm or couplet that Ustads wrote on fancy-pages and presented to their students just a day before Eid as greetings of this auspicious event in exchange of a tutelage was also known as Eidi. Moreover, the fancy-pages upon which these verses were written were called Eidi as well. Also, fruits, sweets, and cash offerings that are exchanged among in-laws are known as Eidi, too.
