Heart Touching Urdu Poetry Biography

Poetry
is universal as every language spoken by mankind has in it some poetic
elements. Interestingly, though languages differ significantly in the
manner of expression, the nature of poetic expression remains common
indicating that poetry is more of a human phenomenon rather than
syntactical expression. From expression of love for a woman to revolt
against a regime, poetry carries in it an element of subtlety and
spontaneity—something created by the environs of the poet. To understand
a great poet, therefore, we must first look into his mind and his
awareness of the milieu exterior. Since Ghalib, undoubtedly the greatest
poet of Urdu language, expressed himself mainly through his writings of
love sonnets, it is imperative that we examine the art of love sonnets,
the language they are written in, and the environs that prompted these
writings to understand how Ghalib became a master of this genre.
In this chapter we will examine the roots of Urdu language, Urdu poetry
and particularly the genre of love sonnets, ghazals, in Urdu. The
following chapter will examine the life and works of Ghalib and the
third chapter will offer a broad view of Ghalib’s art of expression in
love sonnets, the ghazals.It was through the rise of Urdu ghazal as a
medium of expression that Urdu language rose to the height of popularity
and evolution in a very short time in its lifecycle.
Mujhe apne barbad
Hone ka gum nahi,
Teri barbadi ka suna
Tu bohat roya.
Main ne Har pal har
Su tujhe Yad kia,
Jab Tujhe Apni Yad se
Gaafil paya tu bohat
Roya.
Ye zindagi
Ye Ronaqein
Ye ranjishein,
Jab in Sab me Tujhe
Tanha paya Tu bohat
Roya.
Main ne apne Dil k har
Konay me sirf tujh
ko hi Bsaya,
Tere Dil me Basa jab
Koi Or dekha Tu bohat
Roya.
SajiD! Jaanta tha k To
Es k Nasib me nahi
Hai.
Lekin phir B tujhe khuda
Se Baar baar maanga Tu
Bohat Roya.
