Re: A tribute to Moin Akhtar

Dedicated to the Pride of Pakistan, the Great Moin Akhtar …

Purso shab jo aik kaam se
Mein chaand pe gaya tau yunhi ji chaaha
Ke dekhun us zameen ko jahaan se mein aaya hoon
Mere watan ka aik khitta kuch zeyada jag’maga raha thaa
Tau bahut taa’ajub huwa
Issi raushni ko dhoondta mein aan-pohancha zameen per
Tau awaam aansoo baha rahi thee
Afsurdagi si chaa rahi thee
Jo dekha mein hairaan ho kar aasmaan ko waapis
Tau wohi zameen ki si raushni phaili huwi thee aasmaanoo mein
Zameen ka wohi jag’magaata rang aasmaan mein bhar chuka thaa
Aasmaan ke taaroon mein mussaratton ki lehar thee
Kisi ke aanay ki khabar thee
Ban ke aik damakta sitaara ‘Moin Akhtar’ aasmaan mein chamak raha thaa
Woh dekho us ki raushni se maand taray bhi chamak utthay hain
Woh aik jahaan ko rula kar dosre ko hansanay pohanch gaya hai …

May Allah bless your soul Moin Akhtar … (Ameen)

Jannat thee jis ki manzil woh us ko paa gaya
Hans mukh thaa kitna woh jo sab ko hansa gaya
Logoon mein ek zaheen thaa kehtay thay hum Moin
Aamad pe apni roya woh khud phir hum ko rula gaya ...


Re: A tribute to Moin Akhtar


Kya khoob pasand thee teri ay Farishta-e-Ajjal
Tu ne phool hi woh chuna ke jo gulshan weeraan kar gaya ...

Re: A tribute to Moin Akhtar

In his interview with The Express Tribune, Moin Akhtar shared his views on comedy, autobiography, roles and more.

Comedy

Comedy had phases in this country. I think it was 1950s when comedy started off in the sub-continent; today it has become intelligent. A few years ago it was creepy and obscenity took over.

Classics

Anything which clicks is a classic. But any classic that doesn’t rise is a flop. I was witty and that clicked.

Entertainment

We are eliminating our own culture by copying Indian style of performances. If this thing goes on and is carried away way, tomorrow there will be no celebrities in our society. We need to segment Indian programming so that we (can) continue to promote and project our own artists.

His work

Everything I did is part of history, now. To live with history is difficult, but there will be people, who will say one day: ‘there was a man who did it and did it so differently’.

Re: A tribute to Moin Akhtar

maut ko samjhey hain ghafil ikhtamam-e-zindagi
hai yeh shaam-e-zindagi, subh-e-dawam-e-zindagi
(Allama Iqbal)

translated as:
The imprudent ones consider death as end of life
This apparent evening of life is the morning of perpetual life

May Allah shower His countless blessings on Moin Akhtar in that perpetual life, aamin.
