Urdu Poetry In Urdu Script 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.

Hum nay mana is zamanay maiN hansi bhi jurm hai

Laikin is maahol maiN afsurdagi bhi jurm hai

Dushmani tu khair har surat main hoti hai gunah

Ek muayyan hadd say aagay dosti bhi jurm hai

Hum wafa kar kay rakhtay hain wafaon ki umeed

Dosti main is qadar saudagari bhi jurm hai

Iss say pehlay zindagi main itni pabandi na thi

ab to jaisay khud wajood-e-zindagi bhi jurm hai

Aadmi is zindagi say bach kay jaeey bhi kahaan

Maikashi bhi jurm hai aur khud kushi bhi jurm hai

Aik saaghar kay liyay jo baich dain apna zameer

Aisay rindooN kay liyay tashna labee bhi jurm hai

Apni baynoori ka hum Iqbal maatum kion karain

Aaj kay halaat main deeda waree bhi jurm hai

kya tha zara si dair main kya ho gaya koi

do din juda raha tau naya ho gaya koi

wo bhi mujhe aziz tha main bhi usey aziz

phir jane kiya huwa k khafa ho gaya koi

meri nazar nay us ko khad-o khaal dey dye

zehra jamaal-e sheh’r-e saba ho gaya koi

mehfil main tha tau chaand ki soorat sabeeh tha

tanha mila tau rung-e hina ho gaya koi

is khush ada guraiz k qurbaan jaai’yye

mujh ko salaam kar k hawa ho gaya koi

ilzaam hum pe aaya k hum musta’id na thai

jab bhi kisi ka teer khata ho gaya koi

mujh jaise be-nawa ko nawaza ba-sadd khuloos

yoo’n bhi barha tha aur barha ho gaya koi.

Dil mat Tapak Nazar Say ke Paya Na Jay Ga

Ju’ N Ashak phar Zami’N Say Uthaya Na Jay Ga.

Kaba Agarcha Toota to Kya Jay Ghum Hay Shaikh.

Kuch Kaser-e-Dil Nahe’N Ka Banaya NA Jay Ga.

Punhche’ N gay is Chaman May’ N Na Hum Dadad Ko Kabhi.

Ju’ N Gull Yah Chaak-e-Jab Silaya Na Jay Ga.

Ammama Ko Utar Kay Padyo Namaz Shaikh,

Sajday Say Varna Sar Ko Uthaya Na Jay Ga.

Zalim My’ N Keh Raha Hu’ N Ke Is Khu’ N Say Dar Guzar,

Sauda Ka Qatel Hay Yah Chupaya Na Jay Ga.
