Designed Urdu Poetry Biography

Source (google.com.pk)

Urdu has been one of the premier languages of poetry in South Asia for two centuries, and has developed a rich tradition in a variety of poetic genres. The Ghazal in Urdu represents the most popular form of subjective music and poetry, whereas the Nazm exemplifies the objective kind, often reserved for narrative, descriptive, didactic or satirical purposes. Under the broad head of the Nazm we may also include the classical forms of poems known by specific names such as Masnavi (a long narrative poem in rhyming couplets on any theme: romantic, religious, or didactic), Marsia (an elegy traditionally meant to commemorate the martyrdom of Hazrat Husayn ibn Ali, grandson of Muhammad, and his comrades of the Karbala fame), or Qasida (a panegyric written in praise of a king or a nobleman), for all these poems have a single presiding subject, logically developed and concluded. {However, these poetic species have an old world aura about their subject and style, and are different from the modern Nazm, supposed to have come into vogue in the later part of the nineteenth century.

Probably the most widely recited, and memorised genre of contemporary Urdu poetry is nāt—panegyric poetry written in praise of the Prophet Muhammad. Nāt can be of any formal category, but is most commonly in the ghazal form. The language used in Urdu nāt ranges from the intensely colloquial to a highly Persified formal language. The great early 20th century scholar Ala Hazrat, Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi, who wrote many of the most well known nāts in Urdu (the collection of his poetic work is Hadaiq-e-Baqhshish), epitomised this range in a ghazal of nine stanzas (bayt) in which every stanza contains half a line each of Arabic, Persian, formal Urdu, and colloquial Hindi.

Dayar-e-gair mein kaise Tujhe sada dete

Tu mil bhi jata to Tujhe ganwa dete

Tumhin ne hum ko sunaya na Apna dukh warna

Dua wo karte k hum Asman hila dete

Hamein ye zom raha ab k wo Pukarenge

Unhen ye zid thi k Har bar hum sada dete

Wo tera gham tha k tasir mere lahje ki

K jis ko Hal sunate use rula dete

Tumhen bhulna hi awwal to dastaras mein nahin

Jo ikhtiyar bhi hota to kya Bhula dete

Tumhari yad ne koi Jawab hi na diya

Mere khayal k Ansu rahe sada dete

Samton ko main ta-umr kosta Syed

Wo kuch na kahte magar Honth to hila dete

**************************** 

Hum ne Kushyoon ki tarah Dukh bhi Akathey dekhe

Safha zeest ko palto ge to Yaad aaonga 

Usi andaz mein hote the Mukhatib mujh se 

Khat kisi aur ko likho ge to Yaad aaonga 

Sard raatoon ke mahakte huye Sannatoon se

Jab kisi phool ko Chumo ge to Yaad aaonga 

Ab to ye Ashk main aakhun se Chura leta hoon

Haath se khud inhein Poncho ge to Yaad aaonga 

Shal pahnaye ga ab kon December mein tumhein

Tum siya rang Pahno ge to Yaad aaonga 

**************************** 

Patti, Patti Gulab Ban Jati

Har Kali Mehare Khwab Ban Jati

Aapne Dali Na Kuch Aisi Mehkdana Najre

Warna Subhaki Os Bhi Sharabh Ban Jati

**************************** 

sun to sahii jahaan main hai teraa fasaanaa kyaa

kahti hai tujh se Khalq-e-Khudaa Gaibanaa kya

zina saba kaa Dhundati hai apni musht-e-Khaak

baam-e-baland yaar ka hai astana kya

ati hai kis tarah se meri kabz-e-ruuh ko

dekhun to maut dhund rahe hai bahana kya

betab hai kamal hamara dil-e-aziim

mahmaan saray-e-jism ka hoga ravana kya

**************************** 

Ab nahi to phir sahi,phir nahi to phir sahi

Zaid_phir ke intezar main zindagi guzar gai

**************************** 

tarapate hain na rote hain na ham fariyaad karate hain

sanam kii yaad main har dam Khudaa ko yaad karate hain

unhiin ke ishq main ham naalaa-o-fariyaad karate hain

ilaahii dekhiye kis din hamain vo yaad karate hain

shab-e-furqat main kyaa kyaa saanp laharaate hain siine par

tumhaarii kaakul-e-pechaan ko jab ham yaad karate hain
