Urdu Poetries Biography
Source:- Google.com.pk
Urdu has been one of the premier languages of poetry in South Asia for two centuries, and has developed a rich tradition in a variety of poetic genres. The Ghazal in Urdu represents the most popular form of subjective music and poetry, whereas the Nazm exemplifies the objective kind, often reserved for narrative, descriptive, didactic or satirical purposes. Under the broad head of the Nazm we may also include the classical forms of poems known by specific names such as Masnavi (a long narrative poem in rhyming couplets on any theme: romantic, religious, or didactic), Marsia (an elegy traditionally meant to commemorate the martyrdom of Hazrat Husayn ibn Ali, grandson of Muhammad, and his comrades of the Karbala fame), or Qasida (a panegyric written in praise of a king or a nobleman), for all these poems have a single presiding subject, logically developed and concluded. {However, these poetic species have an old world aura about their subject and style, and are different from the modern Nazm, supposed to have come into vogue in the later part of the nineteenth century.
Probably the most widely recited, and memorised genre of contemporary Urdu poetry is nāt—panegyric poetry written in praise of the Prophet Muhammad. Nāt can be of any formal category, but is most commonly in the ghazal form. The language used in Urdu nāt ranges from the intensely colloquial to a highly Persified formal language. The great early 20th century scholar Ala Hazrat, Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi, who wrote many of the most well known nāts in Urdu (the collection of his poetic work is Hadaiq-e-Baqhshish), epitomised this range in a ghazal of nine stanzas (bayt) in which every stanza contains half a line each of Arabic, Persian, formal Urdu, and colloquial Hindi.
Hum nay mana is zamanay maiN hansi bhi jurm hai
Laikin is maahol maiN afsurdagi bhi jurm hai
Dushmani tu khair har surat main hoti hai gunah
Ek muayyan hadd say aagay dosti bhi jurm hai
Hum wafa kar kay rakhtay hain wafaon ki umeed
Dosti main is qadar saudagari bhi jurm hai
Iss say pehlay zindagi main itni pabandi na thi
ab to jaisay khud wajood-e-zindagi bhi jurm hai
Aadmi is zindagi say bach kay jaeey bhi kahaan
Maikashi bhi jurm hai aur khud kushi bhi jurm hai
Aik saaghar kay liyay jo baich dain apna zameer
Aisay rindooN kay liyay tashna labee bhi jurm hai
Apni baynoori ka hum Iqbal maatum kion karain
Aaj kay halaat main deeda waree bhi jurm hai

kya tha zara si dair main kya ho gaya koi
do din juda raha tau naya ho gaya koi
wo bhi mujhe aziz tha main bhi usey aziz
phir jane kiya huwa k khafa ho gaya koi
meri nazar nay us ko khad-o khaal dey dye
zehra jamaal-e sheh’r-e saba ho gaya koi
mehfil main tha tau chaand ki soorat sabeeh tha
tanha mila tau rung-e hina ho gaya koi.
