Haalaat ke qadmon pe kalandar nahin girtaa ...

 Haalaat ke qadmon pe kalandar nahin girtaa,
Toote bhi jo taara, to zamin par nahin girtaa ... !

Girte hain samandar main bade shauq se daryaa,
Lekin kisi daryaa main samandar nahin girtaa ... !!

Samjhon waha phaldaar shajar koyi nahin hai,
Voh sahan ki jismein koi patthar nahin girtaa ... !!!

Hairaan hai kai roz se thehraa hua paani,
Talaab main ab kyun koyi kankad nahi girtaa ... !!!!

Iis banda-e-khuddaar pe nabiyon ka hai saaya,
Jo bhook main bhi luqma-e-tar par nahin girtaa ... !!!!!

kayem hai ae dost ab ye mere sar ke sutoon par,
Zalzala bhi aaye to meraa ghar nahin girtaa ... !!!!

 

Ba-ehtiyat chalna is safar par e kabir

Ba-ehtiyat chalna is safar par e kabir,

Aksar yahan log girkar sambhaltey nahi..

Ye aisi lau hai jo jala degi tumhey,

Log jaley bina yahan sikandar bantey nahi.

Bharosa rakh khuda par apney, tujhey shauhrat-e-mukaam milega,

Yahan uski raza key bina phool kabhi khiltey nahi.

Koi ehsas bhi ho ab ye zaruri toh nai

Koi ehsas bhi ho ab ye zaruri toh nai,
Tu mere saath ho ye bhi zaruri toh nai.

Ek jhokha tha wo fiza ka ya beshak teri koi ada,
Har saal wohi fiza ho ye bhi zaruri toh nai.

Reh gaye hum mehroom teri wafa sey,
Ab ho wafadari khud sey ye bhi zaruri toh nai.

The inception of urdu in India

The occurrence of two political events is very significant in the development of urdu literature in India. The first is in 13th century when Ala-Uddeen Khilji's army invaded the southern region. In the train of armies, came suffices, Fakirs, merchants and artisans. Along with them came urdu language into Deccan which was much classic and lymphatic.

The second occurrence was that of Mohammad Bin Tuglak’s choice of Devagiri (named Daulathabad) as a capital of the south. Mohammad Bin Tuglak ordered that the population of Delhi, in which all sorts of people were included, to be transferred to Daulatabad, the new capital. His order had to be obeyed by the people of Delhi rich and poor, traders and fakirs professional and artisans etc. This event helped in propagation of urdu that was still in a formative stage.the migrant language took no time to adjust itself to the new surroundings.

In the fifties of the 14th century when tuglaks became week, so they seceded from its center gradually. In 1350 a new sultanate named as Bahmani Sultanate was established independent of the north. The Sultan who laid the foundation of this southern principality naturally alienated himself from north and associating himself with the south and they were proud to be called Deccanis though they were Turks by origin.as a matter of principle the rulers of Bahmani kingdom encouraged local languages, customs and practices which were quite different from the north and encouraged native festivals.

Linguist experts are uniformly of opinion that urdu started from north India, sometimes from 1000 CE. The earliest traces of it are to be found in the sayings of Sufis and fakirs, religious men and their short pronouncements, phrases and sayings. But in north India there was no regular tradition of writing in urdu, but when urdu reached Deccan in the fluid state, in broken sentences sayings and proverbs there started the tradition of writing and pulishing collective works regularly. The earliest of urdu belongs to the bahmani period Nizami Bedari's Mathnavi' Kadam Rao Padam Rao' has the distinction of the days of the 9th Bahmani Sultan, Sultan Ahmad Shah wali Bahmani(1421-1434). Though we come across references to urdu writing from some Sufis and other writers among whom Sheik Ainuddin Ganjul Ulum and Hazrath Khwaja Band-e-Nawaz are very significant, but as doubts have arisen about the authenticity of the work alluded to them, the Mathnavi mentioned above holds its primary place. 

During the Bamani period urdu has spread to all directions and became the single common language of Deccan and in the favorable atmosphere of this period it opened the way for further literary works. But Bahmani sultanate ended by the end of 15th century and there arose 5 states out of its ashes

(1) The Adilshahis of Bijapur, 

(2) The Khutb Shahis of Golkunda

(3) The nizam Shahis of Ahmadnagar

(4) The Barid Shahis of Bidar

(5) The imad shahis of berar

Of these the Bijapuri and the Qutab Shahis contributed much to the development of the urdu language. They were like counterparts of Delhi school (Dabisthan) and Lucknow School (dabisthan). For the next two centuries, urdu developed well and its progress was remarkable one during their regime. Such progress is not seen in any regime later. There was a great spurt of Mathnavis during this period. They covered different subjects and they spread out in several Libraries of India, Pakistan, Europe and America in manuscript forms of which some are still preserved in good condition. 

Popularity of poetry is fading

     

Poetry has been appealing men from the very old times. No record yet claims precisely when did the practice of poetry came into existence. Poetry has remained the source of entertainment from the very existence of societies and communities. In ancient times the sources of entertainment to the people were very finite and poetry felt under that. As time goes, people started influencing toward other entertainment sources, leaving the field of poetry behind. This affected the popularity of poetry immensely. With the passage of time humans initiated ignoring the significance poetry have. But there are still innumerable poetry lovers and poets exist. It is believed that the poets of ancient times are more pro-efficient than today's. There are many factors behind this notion:

Firstly- Lack of interest of today's people in poetry. This is the core reason why many aspiring poets opt out. Poets didn't get the proper acclaims and positive feed-backs they deserve. Leaving the enthusiastic poets annoyed, lost of interest and they look out for some other option.

Secondly- Low budget of money involved in this profession now a days. Present time poetry is not popular as it used to be in ancient times, the field of poetry has also degraded in the monetary terms.  Every one has to look out for one's sustenance. Due to the low budget money involved in the profession of poetry, poets have to look for other professions to get their financial position stable leaving full time poetry practice behind. This leads to lack of focus on improving poetry standards.

These are the substantial reasons why we don't get poets like Shakespeare, W.H. Auden, William Blake, Mirza Ghalib, now a days. The essence of poetry is incredible but it’s very disappointing to see its getting degraded with each passing day. It seems the popularity of poetry is fading!

  

Kabhi to tumhey bhi gham hua hoga koi

Kabhi to tumhey bhi gham hua hoga koi
Kabhi to tumney bhi apna khoya hoga koi
Yuhin nai kehti deewana tumhey ye duniya ae kabir
Bewajah aandhiyon mey mashaaleien jalata nai koi

Waqt ney  kar diya majboor bahut us shaks ko

suna hai wo bhi shiddat-e-hausla rakhta tha !

Mat ho itna mehrum mujhsey,
ki tujhey bhi dard ka ehsaas ho,

Tu haqdaar hai mere wajood ka,
Mat azma khudko aiskey ki tera mujh par bhi ye ahsaan ho.
