Friends, aadaab.
In our newsgroup people employ both "donoN" and "dono" in their writings here. In January 2007, Vijay SaaHib (remember Vijay SaaHib?) wrote:
"Afzal aur UVR sahebaan: aap donoN (?dono:-)) hazraat kaa shukriia. Afzal sahib, I am struck by the similarity rather than the difference in the biblical and islamic version of this story.....".
Rasheed Hasan Khan, a famous scholar of matters pertaining to Urdu, writes in "Urdu imlaa"..
"aise muta3addid lafz haiN jin ko qudamaa nuun ke baGhair bhii likhaa karte the, in meN tiin lafz xaas taur par qaabil-i-zikr haiN: dono, maa, maine.......
in lafzoN ko ma3a nuun-i-Ghunnah likhnaa chaahiye....."
Our Raj Kumar SaaHib routinely uses "dono". Now, please don't say that "Qais" fits nicely into the "ancients" category. I would say this would be a tad unfair!:-) Which option do you prefer and why?
haath nikle apne donoN kaam ke
dil ko thaamaa un kaa daaman thaam ke
daaGh

baRii der ke ba'ad yaad aaya k maiN lafz "donoN" ko "dono" kyuuN likhtaa rahaa huuN. vajah is ki yeh k 1961 meN aek film aa'ii thi jis ka naam tha: "hum dono". aap us film ka title dekh leN yaa us se mut'alliqa ishtehaar paRh leN, jagah jagah "hum dono" hi likkha milta tha. chuuN-k mujhe Dev Anand aur Vijay Anand "donoN bhaaiyoN" par bahut vishvaas tha, is liye maiN bhi is lafz ko isi taraH likhne lagaa.
isi naam ki aek aur film 1995 meN manzar-e-aam par aa'ii, fim-saaz badal gaye the, kaarinday badal gaye the magar film ka naam vuhi "hum dono" thaa. goyaa, meri is transliteration ko aur bhi taqviiyat mil ga'ii. is pe turra(h) yeh k kisi yaar-dost ne mujhe samjhaaya-bujhaaya bhi nahiiN k is lafz ko Roman meN kaise likhna chaahiye.
ab aap hi bataaiye k is jurm ka sazaa-vaar akela maiN hi kyuuN? :-)
