You said that you only learned urdu when you were 11. How was your first interaction with Punjabi?

We always spoke punjabi at home even in Kenya so I was well versed with it when I came to Pakistan.

Ok then you might like Muneer Niaza’s ‘Kuch sanoon maran da shoq wi si’ and ‘Mere shoq da nai aitbar koi’ sung by Ghulam Ali.

My second question was do you find any difference between yesteryear’s poets and today’s poets?

Re: Guest of the Week- Ehsan Uncle

@muqawwee123

Ok ehsan uncle some of my questions.

(1) Sab se pehle aap ne kis poet ko paRha?

(2) Kal ke poets aur aaj ke poets main kia farq hai?

(3) Hamare haan poetry main mard poet kiyun dominant hain, jab ke poetry jaisa nafees shoba khawateen ko ziada suit karta hai?

(4) Aap ko kis tarah ki shayari ziada appeal karti thi / hai? kia waqt ke sath iss main koi change aaya?

1. Cant remember exactly but I think it was Iqbal
2. The poets in my time were more nationalistic, leftist and secular than they are now. Maybe because we were a very young nation at the time and everyone was focused on the nation. People like Habib Jalib, Josh Maliahabadi and Faiz etc. Today the nation is in its worse position yet we dont see many poets writing about it.
3. Dont know many of the leading poets have been male, maybe it has to do something with our culture where in earlier days women didnt have much role outside the house. Still many female poets are around today and the best one of them Parveen shakir is as good as any of them.
4. Shayri woh joh dil koh chu jaye, mozoo koi bhi ho, shayree mein gehrayee honee chahiye, phir maza aata hai.

Kia shadi ke baad ghamgeen poetry parhna aur sunena acha lagta hai?

Have you ever tried to write something?

I dont think it has anything to do with the marriage, if unfortunately the marriage is not working than maybe otherwise you still like the same poetry.

No I have not tried writing anything, I dont think I have that sort of command of the language.

Yes both these songs are very good. I have already answered your other question.

Nice to meet you sir

As You have said you are reading poetry since you were child.
Though I have no interest in poetry
I want you to explain this to me.

sar phul vo charha jo chamn se nikal gaya
acha vohi raha jo watan se nikal gaya

Such like that:bummer:

Do you think the poet who said so was right???

Thank you but please dont call me sir, I am just an ordinary person.

As for the shair, probably right in the prevailing conditions in our country. One can argue it both ways.

There should be respect for elder people that’s why I have called you so.

but I think this poetry was by old poets maybe like Mir taqi Mir.

So, I think explanation should be made according to that.

I dont know who wrote that or what the circumstances were during that time, maybe it was during the British Raj.

Yeah you are right sir.

So, according to your point of view this is correct:hmmm:
