Gustaaqaana Shairi
Raza Ali Mir
Huaa ye hukm, ke 'Kaifi' ko sang-saar karo
Maseeh baithe haiN chhup kar kahaN Khuda jaane
The impulse to make ironic remarks about
God or iconic figures in religion has added a
great rebellious tinge to Urdu poetry. I was
wondering if any other ALUPers would like to
share some nice poetic ways in which shairs have
taken potshots at God or organized religion.
I hasten to add that this does not imply any
disrespect for people's religous sentiment...
Indeed, only the devoted take the time to poke fun
of this kind...
Of course, I remember Faiz's
Ek fursat-e-gunaah mili, woh bhi chaar din
Dekhe haiN hum ne hausle parwardigaar ke
Likewise, Josh had a ruba'ii the last line
of which was
Allah ki woh vaada-qilaafi afsos
(forgotten the rest).
Any other memories?

Shabab aaya kisi but per fida honay ka waqt aaya

Zindagi bhar meray rastay ki rukawat jo bana

( Steve Almas )
Daikh ker ham ko bhanwer main maoj say lerhtay hooay
Woh kinaray per kharhay dad-e-wafa daitay rahay
Ham yahan bemari-e-dill say sakht majboor thay
Woh Maseeha ban aouron ko shifa daitay rahay

With due respect, I feel some of the ash'aar here
do not quite fall in the category of "Gustaakhaana"
shaa'iri. For instance, the above sher by Akbar.

And now a sher by Ghalib :
Taa'at men ta rahe na mai-o-angabeeN ki laag
Dozakh men daal de koi le kar bahesht ko
And one more :
Bandagi men bhi woh aazaada-o-khudbeeN hain ke hum
Ulte phir aaye dar-e-Ka'aba agar wa na hua
Iqbal's "Shikwa" is full of poetic fulminations
against God, in particular the following sher :
Kabhi hum se kabhi ghairoN se shanaasaayi hai
Baat kehne ki nahiN tu bhi to harjaayi hai !!

murdaar jaanwar to shariyat meiN hai haraam

Qursheed Saheb,
being an atal-hyderabadi, I honestly have no idea what you are
referring to :-) i have been "toko'ed" by so many of learned
Urdu scholars, but my internalization of the language through
my local culture is so complete, that I can never make a
difference. Which Is why I never take any offence when my
North Indian friends substitute a "kaaf" for a qaaf" and a
"gaaf" for a "ghain"
Koi saagar dil ko behlaata nahin
Bekhudi mein bhi, kaaraar aata nahin
Charming indiscretions in a polyphonic world. Sabr keejiye.

ALUP ke bhaa_ii_o.n aur bahano.n ko mera salaam,
Though my urdu skills are limited I couldn't resist posting this.
Vaise kabhi na kabhi to maidaan mein utarna padta hain:)
The language spoken in Hyderabad is typically a mixture of
Urdu,Hindi,English and Telugu.Misaal ki taur par ek parody sher
pesh-e-khidmat hai. Haal hi mein ek article ne Hyderabad ki puraanii
yaadein taaza kardi aur...
Mai.n aur meri tanhaai
aksar ye baate.n karte.n hai.n
ke "US" mei.n hota to aisa hota
aur "India" mei.n hota to vaisa hota
mai.n "Sun Solaris" pe hota
aur tum "IBM" pe hoti
mere "Forms" pe tum ha.nstii aur
mere "reports" pe hairaan hoti
tumhare "session" pe main ha.nstaa
aur "speed" pe ro deta
phir dono "Hoilday Inn" mei.n jaate
aur GOTU khaate... GOTU : Ghee Onion Tomatto Upma :)
magar aaj ye aalam hai ke na "GOTU" hai
aur na "GF" hai magar ye dil hai
aur keh raha hai ke "Future" yahi hai yahi kahi hai.....
Mai.n aur meri tanhaai ......
:)
Keep Smiling,
Srinivas.
