LP Dhuljinah was the horse of Hazrat Hussain (RA) in Karbala. Many people believe that it was the horse of Prophet (SAW). Dhul-Jinah literally means having two wings. You might have seen the picture of a horse with two wings.
Re: Animal characters in stories
That is the horse of Hazrat Hussain in Karbala
Oh yes, now I remember.Mamu was telling he had seen Shia's take extra good care of a horse which they call "dhul jinah" back home in Pak.
Re: Animal characters in stories
no one likes the dog of ashab-e-kahaf?
I like it. Its name is reported as Qitmeer. But TLK, does it have any active role in the story?

was not he the watch dog?
ok ok, then how about sag-e-lailaa?
Re: Animal characters in stories
You mean it was alive and watching for any danger when the Ashab Kahaf slept for centuries?
Sag-e-lailaa was no use to Majnu.. :)
Re: Animal characters in stories
I think it was alive for the first period when the immediate enemies of ashab-e-kahaf were alive, no?
Sag-e-laila was sotela to majnu?
Re: Animal characters in stories
When i was in forth standard there was a story about telling lies.....:D
A tiger invites a monkey,fox and jackal to his den....
As they enter the den there was a very unpleasant smell of remains of animals eaten by tiger...
So the monkey holds his nose with his hand and declares that smell is very bad...
So tiger kills him in a fit of anger...
Then tiger asks fox "is the smell bad?" and this cute fox says No sir actually i am smelling a fragrance....
tiger feels insulted by this lie and kills the fox.............:(
Then the jackal is asked about smell.......and he says i am suffering from cold so can not sense the smell.....:D
and tiger spares his life....
so i like the jackal and his way of lying
Re: Animal characters in stories
I don't know whether the dog lived or also slept like the others, because Quran deals with the matter comprehensively. BTW I like to read Surah Kahaf again and again and its my second favourite after Surah e Yousuf.
Pata nahin Laila ko Majnu se ziada pyar tha ya pane kutte se.. aur uss ne ye gana bhi pata nahin kis ke liye gaya.. Koi pathar se na mare mere deevane ko.
Re: Animal characters in stories
I hope Chanakya was the not the writer of this story 
Re: Animal characters in stories
BTW stories of Isap were quite famous and all characters used to be animals right?
Re: Animal characters in stories
Is Isap a translation of Persian Kalila o Damna? TLK might know that.
Re: Animal characters in stories
Even Indian Panch Tantra have many animal characters...........:)
Re: Animal characters in stories
My most favourite Urdu novel 'Raja Gidh' is also based on conversation between animals on the matter why and how Gidh (vultures) start eating dead ones?
Re: Animal characters in stories
Those chapters of Raja Gidh were fascinating.
Re: Animal characters in stories
sag-e-lailaa? Is it the same dog whose feet majoon used to kiss and when people asked why he was doing so, he replied?:
Een sag-e dar koo-e-laila gahay gahay rafta bood
what a crazy person :halo:
Re: Animal characters in stories
Muqawee, have you read Aab-e-Gum, and the whole chapter of Kochwaan (dont remember the name) who used to beat that horse and the Animal inspector who used to live in Liyari. That chapter is a masterpiece
Re: Animal characters in stories
Translate please...
Re: Animal characters in stories
Anjuman e be rehmi e janwaraaN
Re: Animal characters in stories
Yes that is the one :D .. but there was lot of emotional side to that story too. The bond between Basharat's father and that horse - and how that inspector, in spite of being extremely poor, rescued that horse and took him home
Re: Animal characters in stories
Yusufi sahib is amazing :k:
Also Patras sahib’s ‘Kutte’ is a good piece of literature.
