Zoya sahiba,

Valentine's Day par Jaun Eliya ko quote karna ... not good :) kyuN ki what little I have read of his works, it has mostly been about heartbreak. Check out his Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaun_Elia says (not that I believe everything that is stated there), his poetry is known for "unending pain of separation" :) You know I am joking, right? :)

Regarding andesha-e-ruswaii ...

You are? :-)

vaise aksar yuuN hotaa hai k mujhe Shoaib sahib ko dekh kar to zaruur Jaun Eliya ke asha'ar yaad aane lagte haiN. ST was always a huge JE fan, much before the masses discovered JE. In fact, he is the friend who first introduced me to JE's poetry almost twenty years ago, and it has really grown on me over time.

Friends,

Greetings from India. I am visiting my dad these days, and really cherishing my time with him.

As if the world has not seen enough turmoil in the last two years, the heartbreaking images from Ukraine are unbearable.
These days, I often think of Sahir Ludhianvi's nazm "ai shariif insaano":

Khuun apnaa ho yaa paraayaa ho
nasl-e-aadam ka Khuun hai aaKhir
jaNg mashriq meN ho k maghrib meN
amn-e-aalam ka Khuun hai aaKhir :-(

Please convey my most sincere regards to your dad.

I am sitting with dad right now, and just read your qat'a to him. His compliments, and verbatim response to you:
"This kind of poetry was very popular after the second world war, when there was a dire need for peace in the world. Then we became complacent, and believed there will be no more major wars. The current attack on Ukraine is a stark reminder for the revival of this kind of poetry once again."

I just did, and asked dad to recite a she'r for me to post in this thread. He quoted from a ghazal that he had heard years ago, from Sahir Ludhianvi himself during one of his visits to Ludhiana. So, pesh hai aaj kaa she'r:

Zoya sahiba, aadaab!

Thanks a lot for sharing my qat'a with your dad and his thoughts with me. Please convey my gratitude and deepest regards to your dad.

An acquaintance on social media expressed concerns today that the collective secular/socialist/Gandhian philosophy of the (political) opposition in India seems to have died in the tirade of hate and bigotry launched by those in power, and wondered when it will be reestablished among the people. A she'r was born in my mind after reading his thoughts, which is my she'r of the day.

kyaa hii hasb-e-Haal she'r hai, bahut Khuub. daad qubuul kiijiye.

Your acquaintance's concerns are generally valid. However, one of the highlights of my current stay in Punjab is that I have in person witnessed general public's enthusiastic reactions to the most recent election results. Everybody seems to be infused with a new hope for a brighter future for the state. To quote dad's response to your she'r, "A spark has been ignited here, hopefully the flames of positive change will spread."

Zoya sahiba, aadaab!

Thanks for the appreciation! It's good to know that people of Punjab are buoyed by AAP's win. I wish their hopes come true. I had a strong admiration for this party and its leadership for a long time, but a couple of recent experiences have begun to change my view. But I don't want to delve into it here. I try to keep politics out of this forum and only discuss it when necessary, such as when giving you the context for the she'r I shared.

Speaking of context, I don't think I need to give one for the she'r I am sharing today. This one was also born recently and has spawned a complete Ghazal. I am still working on the Ghazal, but here is the she'r (matla') for you:

kyaa kareN tan ko libaasoN meN chhupaane vaale
noch lete haiN ridaa sar se zamaane vaale

Yes, having repeatedly tried options A and B, most people here seem to believe that option 'C' will work better, hope they will not be disillusioned. And I totally understand and second your position about generally staying away from politics in this forum, except when in context of poetry.

Irfan sahib, you have a true gift to be able to convey your feelings about intense topics in a subtle, poetic way. I will look forward to reading this complete ghazal.

I just love the tarkiib "tadbiir-e-ihtiyaat", I don't think I have seen it before. Brilliant. Planning to be cautious, hmmmmm, doesn't always work though. But then of course you are talking about the fun on the flip side in the second half of the qat'aa. Very nice. daad qubuul kiijiye.
