Re: Poet of the Month - Mirza Ghalib

ah ko chahiye ik umr asar hone tak
kaun jita hai teri zulf k sar hone tak
dam har mauj mein hai halqa-e-sadkam-e-nahang
dekhen kya guzare hai qatre pe gauhar hone tak
ashiqi sabr-talab aur tamanna betab
dil ka kya rang karun khun-e-jigar hone tak
ham ne mana k taaful na karoge lekin
khak ho jayenge ham tum ko khabar hone tak

:k: Nice sharing Waleed Bro.

A little correction in last line, one of my favorite:

Hum ne mana k taghaful na karoge lekin
khak ho jayenge ham tum ko khabar hone tak

:k: Nice to see a post from the city of Ghalib.

Ghalib loved Delhi so much. Born in Agra and moved to Delhi at the age of 13 after his marriage with a distnat cousin. After that except for a few short trips to Rampur and an extended absence of almost three years, when he went to Calcutta via Lucknow and Benares, Ghalib remained in Delhi until his death on February 15, 1869.

Re: Poet of the Month - Mirza Ghalib

One of the biggest proof of Ghalib’s popualrity is the use of his lines by common men in their routine. Look at the bold lines in the Ghazal. May of us have heard and used these lines without knowing that these are part of Ghalib’s ghazal.

Nice sharing UZ :k:

Re: Poet of the Month - Mirza Ghalib

**Ghalib & Religion

**

Talking of Ghalib’s love for prophet’s family, this qaseeda is the best example:

Salam usey ke agar badshah kaheiN usko
To phir kaheiN ke kuch iss se sawa kaheiN usko

Na baadshah, na sultaN, yeh kya sataaesh hai
Kaho ke Khamis’e Aal’e Aba kaheiN usko

Maseeh jis’se kare akhz’e faiz’e jaaN bakhshi
Sitam hai kushtaey teigh’e jafa kaheiN usko

Hamar’e dard ki yaRab kahiN dawa na mil’e
Agar na dard ki apney dawa kaheiN usko

Hamara muNh hai ke deiN uske husn’e sabr ki daad
Magar Nabi wa Ali marhaba kaheiN usko

Imaam’e waqt ki yeh qadr hai ke ahl’e enaad
Piyaada le chaleiN, aur na_saza kaheiN usko

Yeh ijtehad ajab hai, ke eik dushman’e deeN
Ali se aakey laRey, aur khata kaheiN usko

Yazid ko to na tha, ijtehad ka paaya
Bura na maaniye, gar hum bura kaheiN usko

Ali ke baad Hasan, aur Hasan ke baad Hussain
Karey jo ins’e buraai, bhala kaheiN usko?

Nabi ka ho na jisey eiteqaad, kafir hai
Rakhey Imam se jo bughz, kya kaheiN usko?

Re: Poet of the Month - Mirza Ghalib

Once at a poetry meeting, Hakim Agha Jan Aish, a well- known Delhi wit, took a jab at Ghalib‘s poetry with the following lines:*
Kalam-i-Mir samjhay aur zabaan-i-Meerza samjhay
Magar in-ka kaha yeh aap samjhaiN ya Khuda samjhay*

We understand the verse of Mir, we understand what Mirza [Sauda] **worte;
But **Ghalib‘s verse! — Only he himself or God can understand!

**
Ghalib*‘s reponse was:
Na sataayish ki tamanna, na silay ki parwaah
Gar nahiN haiN meray asha’aar maiN ma’ny na sahi*

I do not long for people’s praise; I seek no one’s reward
And if they say my verse has no meaning, be it so

Re: Poet of the Month - Mirza Ghalib

Apart from the infant deaths of his children and his never-ending financial struggles, Ghalib's life was characterized by notoriety. He was known for gambling, drinking and being in debt.

The first edition of Ghalib's Urdu diwan was published in 1841, the same year that he was arrested and fined for gambling. He was arrested on the same charge in 1847, and again, in that same year, the second edition of his diwan was published. Since he had never been seen praying or fasting, his critics were quick to write him off as an atheistic drunk, who indulged himself in the idle pursuit of composing love poetry.

Mainstream Islam in 19th-century India had not recognized love as one of the components of the faith. Religion was about God, and God was only to be feared and worshipped in a strictly prescribed way. *Within this context, some of Ghalib's verse hovered on the blasphemous: *
*I know the truth about the promise of heaven
Still, it's a nice thought to keep the heart amused. *

Re: Poet of the Month - Mirza Ghalib

**My most favourite Ghazal by Chacha Ghalib:
**
Dil Hi To Hai Na Sang-O-Khisht, Dard Se Bhar Na Aaye Kyun
Roenge Ham Hazaar Baar, Koi Hamain Sataaye Kyun

Deir Nahin Haram Nahin, Dar Nahin Aastaan Nahin
Baithe Hain Rahguzar Pe Ham, Gair Hamain Uthaye Kyun

Jab Wo Jamaal-E-Dilafroz, Surat-E-Mahr-E-Nimaroz
Aap Hi Ho Nazarasoz, Parde Main Munh Chhupaaye Kyun

Dashna-E-Gamzaa Jaansitan, Naavak-E-Naaz Bepanaah
Tera Hi Aks-E-Rukh Sahi, Saamne Tere Aaye Kyun

Qaid-E-Hayaat-O-Band-E-Gam Asl Main Dono Ek Hain
Maut Se Pahle Admi Gam Se Najaat Paaye Kyun

Husn Aur Us Pe Husn-E-Zan Rah Gai Bulahavas Ki Sharm
Apne Pe Etimaad Hai Gair Ko Aazmaaye Kyun

Vaan Vo Guroor-E-Izz-O-Naaz Yaan Ye Hijaab-E-Paas Vaza
Raah Main Ham Milen Kahaan, Bazm Main Vo Bhulaaye Kyun

Haan Vo Nahin Khudaparast, Jaao Vo Bewafa Sahi
Jisko Ho Deen-O-Dil Aziz, Uski Gali Main Jaaye Kyun

“Ghalib”-E-Khasta Ke Bagair Kaun Se Kaam Band Hain
Roie Zaar-Zaar Kya, Kijie Haaye-Haaye Kyun
