Our next ‘Guest of the week’ is our very own CM Muqawwee.
Lets drown him in questions 
So , Muqawwee as we all know you love reading , at what age did you develop interest in poetry ?
Re: Guest Of The Week - Muqawwee
I just hated poetry in beginning. never liked poems in text books. It was when I left my hometown and came to Karachi for professional education, I got time in initial days (because we had classes on 3 days only), I got time and started reading poetry from the digests my cousin had. I started writing the ash’aar on back of my note book and then I found that I started like reading poetry.
I remember buying first poetry book. We were then living in Mehmoodabad and I remember I completed the book ( Aankhen bheeg jati hai by Wasi Shah) in bus from Urdu bazar to Mehmoodabad ( an hour’s journey)

Before reading poetry, I did used to listen old songs / ghazals of many Pakistani and Indian singers.
My all time favourite poem.

At what age was it that you brought your first book ?
Re: Guest Of The Week - Muqawwee
yeah … it makes us doubt your age
Re: Guest Of The Week - Muqawwee
This was my favorite during college days. I remember in those days, PTV made a play on ‘Major Aziz Bhatti Shaheed’ and used this song in background. In one scene, Aziz Bhatti was shown playing this tune on mouth organ. That time Pakistan army had a very positive image and I remember when our NCC (National cadet Core) training started, then most of the students bought old uniforms from college peon, but I said ’ Wardi aur kafan apna apna sahi hota hai’. This was Major Aziz Bhatti’s words on 1965 war.

Re: Guest Of The Week - Muqawwee

It depends on mood.
I read poetry in three languages. Urdu, Sindhi and Punjabi.
I always admired Sufi poetry of Bulleh Shah, Shah Hussain, Sultan Bahoo, Shah Lateef... though most of time, I have to get help for understanding them.
From new era, I like Faiz Ahmed Faiz ( he is versatile), Parveen Shakir (I always admired her brave thoughts), Ahmed Faraz (his poetry is melodious), Habib Jalib (he addressed common men problem in their language). There is a long list....

Depends what kind of mood you are in. sometimes moods can't change with anything except passage of time. sometimes simple things can change your mood
