Re: who would be the urdu poet of the century?
why need an alternative? Is it really necessary to go about for minimizing redundancy? repeatation sometimes makes a lot of sense and Iqbal's repeatation is unmatchable as well...
It depends on the style of poem. repetaion make some poems very beautiful. The best example is sura Rehman. But in this particular case there is not patern of repetation of words in that poem. so it looked odd to see in only in one shair.
I understand the meaning. second line is fine But if you look at first line there was a margin of using alternate words for instance Ghusal i.e
shabnam ghusal karaney
But again I am niether poet nor critic. Just doing what our nation loves to do.. munh maari
