Scripts used in poetry

In Pakistan, Urdu poetry is written in the standard Nasta'liq calligraphy style of the Perso-Arabic script. However, in India, where Urdu poetry is very popular, the Perso-Arabic is often found transliterated into the Devanāgarī script, as an aid for those Hindī-speakers, who can comprehend Urdu, but cannot read the Perso-Arabic script. With the dawn of the internet and globalisation, this poetry is often found written in Roman Urdu today.

[edit] Example

The following is a verse from an Urdu ghazal by Sher Khwaja Mir Dard:

Roman Urdu:

dosto dekhā tamāśhā yahāN kā bas.

tum raho ab hum to apne ghar chale

English translation:

Friends, I've seen the spectacle of this place- enough!

You stay here; I'm heading home

Pen names

In the Urdu poetic tradition, most poets use a pen name called the Takhallus (تخلص) . This can be either a part of a poet's given name or something else adopted as an identity. The traditional convention in identifying Urdu poets is to mention the takhallus at the end of the name. The word takhallus^[4] is derived from Arabic, meaning "ending". This is because in the ghazal form, the poet would usually incorporate his or her pen name into the final couplet (maqta) of each poem.

Forms of Urdu poetry

Urdu poetry (Urdu: اردو شاعری Urdu Shayari) is a rich tradition of poetry and has many different types and forms. Borrowing much from the Persian language, it is today an important part of Pakistani and North Indian culture.
Like other languages, the history of Urdu poetry shares origins and influences with other linguistic traditions within the Urdu-Hindi-Hindustani mix. Literary figures as far back as Kabir (1440–1518 CE) and even Amir Khusro (1253-1325 CE) inspired later Urdu poets, and served as intellectual and linguistic sources. Meer, Dard, Ghalib, Anis, Dabeer, Iqbal, Zauq, Josh, Jigar, Faiz, Firaq and Syed Shmad Shah (Ahmad Faraz) are among the greatest poets of Urdu. The tradition is centered in the subcontinent. Following the Partition of India in 1947, it found major poets and scholars residing primarily in modern Pakistan. Mushairas (or poetic expositions) are today held in metropolitan areas worldwide.

The principal forms of Urdu poetry are:^[1]

• Ghazal, is a set of two liner couplets, which strictly should end with the same rhyme and should be within one of the predefined meters of Ghazals.There has to be minimum of five couplets to form a Ghazal. Couplets may or may not have same thought. It is one of the most difficult forms of poetry as there are many strict parameters that one needs to abide by while writing Ghazal.
• Qasida, a kind of ode, often panegyric on a benefactor, sometimes a satire, sometimes a poem dealing with an important event. As a rule it is longer than ghazal, but it follows the same system of rhyme.^[1]
• Marsiya (or elegy), is nearly always on the death of Hasan and Husain and their families, but occasionally on the death of relatives and friends. It is usually in six-lined stanzas with the rhyme aaaabb. The recitation of these elegies in the first ten days of Muharram is one of the greatest event in Muslim life. A fully developed marsiya is always an epic. The famous marsia writers who inherited the tradition of Mir Anis among his successive generations are Mir Nawab Ali 'Munis', Dulaha Sahab 'Uruj', Mustafa Meerza urf Piyare Sahab 'Rasheed', Syed Muhammad Mirza Uns, Ali Nawab 'Qadeem', Syed Sajjad Hussain "Shadeed" Lucknavi, Allama, Dr.Syed Ali Imam Zaidi, "Gauher" Luckhnavi the(great grandson of Mir Babber Ali Anis).
• Masnavi, in the majority of cases a poetic romance. It may extend to several thousand lines, but generally is much shorter. A few masnavis deal with ordinary domestic and other occurrences. Mir and Sauda wrote some of this kind. They are always in heroic couplets, and the common metre is bacchic tetrameter with an iambus for last foot. The Religious masnavi Histori of Islam (Tarikh-e-Islam Az Quran) written by Dr. Syed Ali Imam Zaidi Gauher Lucknavi.^[1]
• Tazkira, biographical anthology, almost always of poetry alone. This is often a mere collection of names with a line or two of information about each poet, followed by specimen of his composition. On the other hand it may be the history of Urdu poetry with copious illustrative extracts. The best tazkiras give biographical details, but fail in literary criticism, and we get little idea of style or poetical power, still less of contents of poems. Even the large anthologies do not systematically review an author's work. Most of them have the names in alphabetical order, but one or two prefer historical order. The majority quote only lyrics, and the quotations, usually chosen at random, do not illustrate poetry.^[1]
• Nazm Urdu nazm is a major part of Urdu poetry. From Nazeer Akarabadi, Iqbal, Josh, Firaq, Akhtarul Iman to down the line Noon Meem Rashid, Faiz, Ali Sardar Jafri and Kaifi Azmi. They have covered common life, philosophical thinking, national issues and the precarious predecament of individual human being.As a distinct form of Nazm many Urdu poets influenced by English and other European poets took to writing sonnets in Urdu language.^[2] Azmatullah Khan (1887-1923) is believed to have introduced this format to Urdu Literature.^[3] The other renowned Urdu poets who wrote sonnets were Akhtar Junagarhi, Akhtar Sheerani, Noon Meem Rashid, Mehr Lal Soni Zia Fatehabadi, Salaam Machhalishahari and Wazir Agha.

[edit] Collection forms of Urdu poetry

The principal collection forms of Urdu poetry are:^[1]

• Diwan, a collection of poems, chiefly gazals.^[1]
• Kulliyat, literally a complete collection of poems, but often applied to any collection containing poems of various kinds. Thus, Akbar Allahabadi published three kulliyats.^[1]

دُشمنِ جاں کئی قبیلے ہُوئے

دُشمنِ جاں کئی قبیلے ہُوئے
پھر بھی خُوشبو کے ہاتھ پِیلے ہُوئے
بدگُمانی کے سَرد موسم میں
میری گُڑیا کے ہاتھ نِیلے ہُوئے
جب زمیں کی زباں چٹخنے لگی
تب کہیں بارشوں کے حیلے ہُوئے
وقت نے خاک وہ اُڑائی ہے
شہر آباد تھے جو ٹِیلے ہُوئے
جب پرندوں کی سانس رُکنے لگی
تب ہُواؤں کے کچھُ وسیلے ہُوئے
کوئی بارش تھی بدگُمانی کی
سارے کاغذ ہی دِل کے گَیلے ہُوئے

Gilay chahy boht krna !

Gilay chahy boht krna !

rulana or boht larhna !

Suno Naraz mat hona !

Kabi Aisa jo ho jaey !

K teri Yad se Ghafil

ksi Lamhe jo ho jaey!

Bina dekhe teri surat !

Kisi shab Main jo so jaon !

To sapno men chale ana !

Mujy Ehsas dila jana !

Magr…

Naraz mat hona

 

Mai bhool jaoon jise ye wo hadsa nahi

Mai bhool jaoon jise ye wo hadsa nahi
wo aaj aise mila ki jaise jaanta nahi

haseen uske jaisa jahan mein koi nahi
ye aur baat hai mai usko chahata nahi

zah-e-naseeb wo naraaz ho gaye ham se
ye aur baat ke apni koi khata nahi

kise khabar thi ki suraj bhi ruth jayega
uss ikk makan se jiss mein koi diya nahi

sajaye rehta hai khamoshi hotho par
ajeeb shakhs hai kuch munh se bolta nahi

kisi ki raat hai roshan charagh ki manind
kisi makan mai bujhta huwa diya bhi nahi

gunahgar nigahon ne ye bhi dekha hai
gunahgar hua jiss ne kutch kiya nahi

merey khayal ki dehleez pe wo aa baittha
ab uss se batch ke guzarne ka raasta nahi

ham ne zeest bhi kardi usi ke naam sanam
jo hamko pyar se ikk baar dekhta bhi nahi

Ek Yaar Khafa Hai Humse

Ek Yaar Khafa Hai Humse
Woh Pyaar khafa Hai Humse
Ek Zindagi Tha Jo Meri,
Woh Dildar Khafa Hai Humse

Kehta Tha Woh Humse
Na Khafa Hoga Kabhi Humse
Bichad Bhi Jayen Jeevan Mein
Na Hoga Juda kabhi Dilse

Ek Arsa Beeta Hai Aye Dil
Na Koi Khabar Mili Unse
Chahat Mein Ibaadat-e-Ishq Mein
Jaane Kya Khata Hui Humse

Rootha Hai Humse Woh Dil
Gusse Ki Wajah Keh Humse
Milne Ki Dua De Humko
Ya Phir Marne Ki Dua De Dilse

Zulmat Kade Main Mere Shab-E-Gam Ka Josh Hai

Zulmat Kade Main Mere Shab-E-Gam Ka Josh Hai

Zulmat Kade Main Mere Shab-E-Gam Ka Josh Hai
Ik Shamma Hai Daleel-E-Sahar, So Khamosh Hai
Na Muzda-E-Visaal Na Nazaara-E-Jamaal
Muddat Hui Ki Aashti-E-Chashm-O-Gosh Hai
Mai Ne Kiya Hai Husn-E-Khudaara
Ko Be Hijaab
Ae Shauq Yaan Ijazat-E-Taslim-E-Hosh Hai
Gauhar Ko Ikd-E-Gardan-E-Khubaan Main Dekhna
Kya Auj Par Sitara-E-Gauharfarosh Hai
Deedar, Wada, Hausla, Saaqi, Nigaah-E-Mast
Bazm-E-Khayaal Maikada-E-Be Kharosh Hai
Ae Taaza Vaaridan-E-Bisaat-E-Hawa-E-Dil
Zinhaar Gar Tumhen Hawas-E-Na-O-Nosh Hai
Dekho Mujhe Jo Deeda-E-Ibarat Nigaah Ho
Meri Suno Jo Gosh-E-Nasihat Niyosh Hai
Saaqi Ba Jalwa Dushman-E-Imaan-O-Aagahi
Mutarib Banagma Rahzan-E-Tamkin-O-Hosh Hai
Ya Shab Ko Dekhte The Ki Har Gosha-E-Bisaat
Daaman-E-Baagbaan-O-Kaf-E-Gulfarosh Hai
Lutf-E-Khiraam-E-Saaqi-O-Zauq-E-Sada-E-Chang
Ye Jannat-E-Nigaah Wo Firdaus-E-Gosh Hai
Ya Subh Dam Jo Dekhiye Aakar To Bazm Main
Naa Vo Suruur-O-Soz Na Josh-O-Kharosh Hai
Daag-E-Firaaq-E-Sohbat-E-Shab Ki Jali Hui
Ik Shamma Rah Gai Hai So Vo Bhi Khamosh Hai
Aate Hain Gaib Se Ye Mazmin Khayaal Main
‘Ghalib’, Sarir-E-Khaama Navaa-E-Sarosh Hai
Zikr Us Parivash Ka, Aur Phir Bayaan Apna
Ban Gaya Raqeeb Aakhir Tha Jo Raazdaan Apna

ہر بار یہی سوچا ہر باز قسم کھائی اس بار نہ روئیں گے دامن نہ بھگوئیں گے اے معنی ء گل لیکن … جب موسمِ گل آیا معصوم شگوفوں کی معصوم اداؤں نے مجبور بنا ڈالا ہر بار ُرلا ڈالا

ملوں گا خاک ميں اک روز بيج کي مانند 

فنا پکار رہي ہے ____ مجھے بقا کيلئے

 

ہر بار یہی سوچا
ہر باز قسم کھائی
اس بار نہ روئیں گے
دامن نہ بھگوئیں گے
اے معنی ء گل لیکن

معصوم شگوفوں کی
معصوم اداؤں نے
مجبور بنا ڈالا
ہر بار ُرلا ڈالا

غم ھے یا خوشی ھے تو

غم ھے یا خوشی ھے تو

آفتوں کے دور میں
چین کی گھڑی ھے تو

میری رات کا چراغ
میری نیند بھی ھے تو

میں خزاں کی شام ھوں
رُت بہار کی ھے تو

دوستوں کے درمیاں
وجہء دوستی ھے تو

میری ساری عمر میں
ایک ہی کمی ھے تو

میں تو وہ نہیں رہا
ہاں مگر وہی ھے تو

ناصر اس دیار میں
کتنا اجنبی ھے تو
