Singh Professor of English University of Lucknow-226007 ______________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: It is an informative paper on the construct, form, and expansion of Ghazal as a poetic form. The origin of the word ‘Ghazal' goes back to the Arabic word ‘Ghazal' meaning ‘deer' in English. The reference finds roots to the act of hunting a deer. When a hunter shoots a deer in a moonlit night in the Arabian desert, the deer getting pierced with the arrow, runs around helplessly in search of water. In this state, the throat makes the sound like "gaz - gaz". A lover, in the same way, pines for his beloved, and feels emotional bleeding; this leads to the making of Ghazal. The paper discusses various aspects of Ghazal. Key Words: Ghazal, Sher, Matla, Takhallus. The Ghazal is a Persian word referring to a form of Persian poetry. It became popular in Urdu literature later. It is, generally speaking, a form of poetic expression describing platonic love. The locale, tone, and content –almost everything around Ghazal find a lover and his unattained love as the central concern. The narrator almost knows it too well that the meeting of the lovers is unattainable, yet they keep striving till the last. This pang and desire emanate into the verses of Ghazal. The complete Ghazal comprise of Shers (couplets); most of the Ghazal has less than fifteen shers, A good Ghazal has approximately five Shers.

The two schools are named after the cities of Delhi and Lucknow, Muslim India's two greatest centers of Urdu culture. Dihlavi poetry (the poetry written in Delhi), considered by critics to be truer to the Persian literary tradition than the poetry of Lucknow, is described as emphasizing mystical concerns, Persian styles of composition, and a straightforward, melancholy poetic diction.

  • Twentieth-Century Urdu Literature
    Published in Handbook of Twentieth-Century Literatures of India, ed. by Nalini Natarajan, Greenwood Press, Westport, CT, 1996. TWENTIETH-CENTURY URDU LITERATURE1 Omar Qureshi This introductory summary, of the course of Urdu literature in the twentieth century must continuously refer back to the nineteenth. This becomes necessary because, depending on one’s point of view, it was Urdu’s destiny or misfortune to gradually become identified as the lingua franca of the Muslims of India in the latter half of the last century. Consequently, the still unresolved dilemmas of the politics of Muslim identity in South Asia are difficult to separate from their expression in and through the development of Urdu. For our purposes then, the most significant consequence of the failed rebellion of 1857 was the gradual emergence of group identity among the recently politically dispossessed and culturally disoriented Muslim elite of North India. This effort to define Indian Muslim nationhood in the new colonial environment placed issues of past, present and future identity at the center of elite Muslim concerns. Not only were these concerns expressed largely in Urdu, but the literary legacy of Urdu formed the terrain through and on which some of the more significant debates were conducted. The Muslim leadership that emerged after 1857 looked to this pre-colonial literary legacy as an authentic, but highly problematic repository of the Indian Muslim identity; and the Urdu language itself as the most effective medium for the renewal and reform of the Muslims of British India. As Muslim identity politics gathered strength in colonial India, and Urdu was turned into the print language of the emerging nation, discussions of an apparently purely literary nature became a veritable mirror of ideological and sociopolitical change among India’s Muslims.

  • Mir Taqi Mir - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Mir Taqi Mir - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Mir Taqi Mir(1723 - 1810) Mir Taqi Mir (Urdu: ??? ??? ???), whose real name was Muhammad Taqi (Urdu: ???? ???) and takhallus (pen name) was Mir (Urdu: ???) (sometimes also spelt as Meer Taqi Meer), was the leading Urdu poet of the 18th century, and one of the pioneers who gave shape to the Urdu language itself. He was one of the principal poets of the Delhi School of the Urdu ghazal and remains arguably the foremost name in Urdu poetry often remembered as Khuda-e-sukhan (god of poetry). <b> Life </b> The main source of information on Mir's life is his autobiography Zikr-e-Mir, which covers the period from his childhood to the beginnings of his sojourn in Lucknow. However, it is said to conceal more than it reveals, with material that is undated or presented in no chronological sequence. Therefore, many of the 'true details' of Mir's life remain a matter of speculation. Mir was born in Agra, India (then called Akbarabad and ruled by the Mughals) ca. August or September 1723 in a family of Arab origins. His philosophy of life was formed primarily by his father, a religious man with a large following, whose emphasis on the importance of love and the value of compassion remained with Mir throughout his life and imbued his poetry. Mir's father died while the poet was in his teens. He left Agra for Delhi a few years after his father's death, to finish his education and also to find patrons who offered him financial support (Mir's many patrons and his relationships with them have been described by his translator C.

  • Urdu Love Poetry in the Eighteenth Century by Shamsur Rahman Faruqi
    Conventions of Love, Love of Conventions By Shamsur Rahman Faruqi Conventions of Love, Love of Conventions: Urdu Love Poetry in the Eighteenth Century By Shamsur Rahman Faruqi Next to our own, the eighteenth century is the most exciting, vibrant, and productive century in more than five hundred years of literary production in Urdu. Perhaps the most remarkable thing that happened in Urdu literature during that time—traditionally represented by British historiography-influenced writers as a period of decay and disintegration—was the consolidation and discovery of a poetics, of a whole new way of charting out a course for literary creativity in a language that, in Delhi at least, was still a little tottery on its legs in the field of literary production. Delhi, even in the middle of the eighteenth century, boasted of Persian as the zaban-e urdu-e mua’alla-e shahjahanabad (the language of the exalted city of Shajahanabad). It described Sanskrit as hindi-e kitabi 1(learned Hindi=Indian), and the city’s common, spoken language, was known as plain Hindi or Hindvi. Very little literature in Hindi/Hindvi was produced in Delhi during the period 1600-1700—and hardly any during the four preceding centuries—and the literary form of Hindi in which this literature was produced was called Rekhta (mixed, poured, cement-and-mortar, etc). The term Urdu as language name came into use much later. Rekhta/Hindi remained the universal name for the language until very nearly the end of the eighteenth century. Rekhta may have begun independently, as a pidgin. It is more likely that it began as a kind of macaronic verse in Hindi, and gradually assumed a life of its own, so much that the pidgin element was eliminated, giving room to a literary Hindi, such as was already being written in the Deccan, particularly Aurangabad, under the name of Dakani and/or Hindi.

  • I Radical Politics and the Urdu Literary World in the Era Of
    Radical Politics and the Urdu Literary World in the Era of South Asian Nationalisms c.1919 - 1952 A dissertation submitted by Sarah Waheed In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History TUFTS UNIVERSITY February 2011 Advisor: Dr. Ayesha Jalal i Abstract This dissertation is a historical study of the cultural and intellectual trends amongst Urdu intellectuals in South Asia during the decades immediately preceding and following the attainment of formal independence in 1947. I argue that linking literary radicalism in late colonial North India to a much longer history of the Urdu language and cultural milieu provides fresh insights for understanding nationalisms in South Asia. The intellectual and cultural history of the upper middle-class strata of Muslim society from cities such as Delhi and Lahore reveals that writers from Muslim backgrounds—representing a relatively small fraction of the entire anti-colonial Indian intelligentsia—came to play a very strong role in the radical, left-leaning literary landscape. I show that a minority community, ostensibly organized around a ‘religious’ identity, became the votaries of ‘secular’ nationalisms—not because of any neat separation between realms of “religion” and concepts of the “secular”—but because of a long-standing history of culturally informed religious social identity to which ethical sensibility (in comportment, character, and moral conduct) was central. These radical writers, known as progressive writers, challenged not only colonial rule, but also the indigenous social hierarchies in their own (Muslim) communities including conservative sexual politics, as well as the culturally exclusive nationalisms of the Indian right.
